I read a tutorial on how to minimize your side if your only editing skins but it didnt work, I really want this to work other wise im gonna be stuck with a massive side folder with only skins edited and nothing else.

Okay, so what i did was i edited the skin, put it in my sides folder, made an req that was calling for the skin and the i made the other req file the calles for all req's. Then i went into the script and added my new side, here is my LUA.

Heres the tut i followed -

Hidden/Spoiler:

IF YOUR JUST EDITING SKINS (no odfs)

You going to make a 'skin side'. Make a new side and name it. In my example Im makeing 212nd legion skins, so ill call it "212nd". THen make a MSH and REQ folder in your side. In the msh folder, put all the skins you edited. 

Next go to the REQ folder and make a new text file for each skin you edited. For example, if i edited the rep_inf_ep3trooper.tga id make a notepad file called "212_inf_ep3trooper" (it doesnt matter what you call it though). No open up the newly made file, and add the below. 

Code:

ucft

{

      REQN

    {

     "texture"

     "skin name.tga"

    }

}

You might notice a snins req is different from a unit req

Another example is the clone sniper, which needs to parts in his req because he has 2 texures.

Code:

ucft

{

      REQN

    {

     "texture"

     "rep_inf_ep3sniper"

    }

       REQN

    {

     "texture"

     "rep_inf_ep3sniper_cape"

    }

}

Do this for each skin you edited.

Next open up the SIDE req file, in my case its called 212nd.req.

In it, add the names of all your req files. My req would look like this-

Code:

ucft

{

    REQN

    {

        "lvl"    

        "212_inf_ep3armoredpilot"

        "212_inf_ep3trooper"

        "212_inf_ep3_jettrooper"

        "212_inf_ep3_officer"       

        "212_inf_ep3_sniper"       

    }

}

Basically you've just made a 'skin' side. Lastly, to over-wright the shipped skins just load your skins in your maps LUA, just like you would units. But make sure you load the skins after all the other sides, or nothing is changed. 

THis is what is in my LUA.

Code:

   ReadDataFile("SIDE\\212nd.lvl",

                            "212_inf_ep3armoredpilot",

                            "212_inf_ep3_sniper",

                            "212_inf_ep3_officer",

                            "212_inf_ep3_jettrooper",

                            "212_inf_ep3trooper")

Identify the size of your 221.lvl file and please post your REQs.

Posted: **Sun Mar 21, 2010 1:55 am**

The thing is when I munge the files for the side are never there after the munge when I choose to munge the files from the drop down window.

Here is my 221.req

Hidden/Spoiler:

ucft

{

    REQN

    {

        "lvl"    

        "221_inf_trooper"      

    }

}

Here is my req thats calling for the skin

Hidden/Spoiler:

ucft

{

      REQN

    {

     "texture"

     "rep_inf_ep3trooper.tga"

    }

}

Posted: **Sun Mar 21, 2010 2:25 am**

Your REQs look correct. So are you having a problem with reducing your side's .lvl file size or with your skin not showing up?

SW_elite wrote:the side are never there

Did you look in both the addon directory and the _LVL_PC directory [in your data_*** folder]?

Posted: **Mon Mar 22, 2010 9:33 pm**

Yeah, i did.

Posted: **Mon Mar 22, 2010 9:37 pm**

And you made a build folder under data_[project]/_BUILD/Sides/[sidename]? (I usually just rename a stock side folder)

Posted: **Tue Mar 23, 2010 12:18 am**

No, I didnt do that cause it wasent mentioned, ill try it.

Posted: **Tue Mar 23, 2010 8:29 am**

Code: Select all

ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\221.lvl",
"221_inf_trooper")

SetupTeams{
rep = {
team = REP,
units = 20,
reinforcements = 150,
soldier = { "rep_inf_ep3_rifleman",9, 25},
assault = { "rep_inf_ep3_rocketeer",1, 4},
engineer = { "rep_inf_ep3_engineer",1, 4},
sniper = { "rep_inf_ep3_sniper",1, 4},
officer = {"rep_inf_ep3_officer",1, 4},
special = { "rep_inf_ep3_jettrooper",1, 4},

Just looking at this bit, you are indeed reading the 221.lvl and the 221_trooper fine but you haven't assgined it in your team. That maybe why you are not seeing it.

As well and this is just a vague memory, try not using just numbers for a side, I think I remember from one post looooong ago that the game isn't totally happy with it.*
I could be wrong but try assigning the unit first, if that doesn't work try changing the name of your side and include some leading letters.

*from a memory that is not what it use to be

Posted: **Tue Mar 23, 2010 5:55 pm**

Okay, ill give that a try as well.

221_inf_trooper references the custom TGA that would overwrite that of rep_inf_ep3_rifleman which uses the rep_inf_ep3trooper MSH, according the tutorial SW_elite mentioned (most of the different clone legions in BFX were set up this way).

Posted: **Wed Mar 24, 2010 12:45 am**

When you change the setup team to the new trooper i made it takes that one trooper out of my level. And my munger wont work at school so im munging at home instead, ill give yous a shout to say if what i did acctually worked.

Okay, I got the lvl side files in there but nothing is changed, I added the folder like Tean said and I changed the name of my side like Fodis suggested, but the skins are unchanged. What do I do now?

Posted: **Wed Mar 24, 2010 6:19 pm**

SW_elite wrote:I added the folder like Tean said

What files are in that folder? Are there two batch files called clean and munge? If not, just copy and paste them over from the ALL folder, also in the same directory as your folder.

Posted: **Thu Mar 25, 2010 2:28 am**

If that cahnges something in the munge then thats most likely it! My side lvl file is extremely small.....

Posted: **Thu Mar 25, 2010 2:37 am**

SW_elite wrote:My side lvl file is extremely small...

Yes, you were after all trying to minimize side [file] size.

Posted: **Thu Mar 25, 2010 2:38 am**

Is he talking about unnaturally small like 10kb?

Posted: **Fri Mar 26, 2010 8:14 pm**

yes, i am.

Posted: **Sat Mar 27, 2010 2:30 am**

I think i know whats wrong! try getting rid of the ".tga" part at the end of your texture name in the units .req....
If that doesn't work try a manual clean of the side

Posted: **Thu Apr 01, 2010 12:21 am**

Ahhh, good idear, Ill try it right away.

EDIT: Okay, well it did something cause my side is a lot bigger now, but the skin still dosent change, help........

EDIT: whyd everyone stop helping me, im still stuck.

Im not sure if im allowed to do this or not but im still in need of help for this topic -http://www.gametoast.com/forums/viewtop ... 27&t=22580
