Just read through the stock .odfs. All you're doing is switching around whatever .odfs the unit calls for in its weaponsections.

Go to the assets folder. Look through the .odfs for the units in the stock sides. They've got lines that say "weaponsection=." You'll notice they refer to weapon .odfs. All you do is change one weapon .odf to another that you want. More detail on creating new units/changing weapons can be found in the Jedi Creation doc and in this post:

Open up the soldiers odf... It has a weapons section. Replace one name with another one, which is in that side. Make sure grenades/mines etc go with a WeaponChannel = 1
If you want to add totally new weapons, or weapons from another side, paste them in that side where the soldier is, and also paste the related msh, effects etc.
Edit: Oops I'm sorry Mav' was first

well yea thats what i thought too, but when i oppen the soldier odf, the only thing it gives me is this:
Code: Select all
[GameObjectClass]
ClassParent = "rep_inf_default_jettrooper"
[Properties]
GeometryName = "rep_inf_ep3jettrooper"
GeometryLowRes = "rep_inf_ep3jettrooper_low1"
FirstPerson = "REP\reptroop;rep_1st_trooper"
EDIT: I found out how to do it!!!
thx to thunder....u had to go to rep_inf_defualt_jettrooper , not rep_inf_ep3_jettroper
