Re: How To Switch Troopers [UnSolved]
It's rep_inf_ep3_sniper_felucia, not rep_inf_feluciatrooper.
Unless you made a custom unit named rep_inf_feluciatrooper?

Re: How To Switch Troopers [UnSolved]
all my files say feluciatrooper...... ill try sniper though
EDIT: nope
should i maybe change all the .tga and .msh names??
EDIT 2: btw..... to add the clone commando in http://www.gametoast.com/forums/viewtop ... 64&t=17441.... would i just add another line to the .lua and put rep_inf_boss_commando (for example)

Re: How To Switch Troopers
yeah. So your lua would look like this.
Replace ??? with whatever the side's name is.

Re: How To Switch Troopers
These don't matter, first of all, and second if you changed it (while if you were using a custom side it would crash and you are not) nothing would happen. Xavious is right you have to call it rep_inf_ep3_sniper_felucia.RC-1309 wrote:should i maybe change all the .tga and .msh names??

Re: How To Switch Troopers
So you are using a custom side then? Well then go into your custom sides folder and open the .req file find something referencing felucia then copy that into your .lua.
Another thing the additional rep.lvl calling rep_inf_boss_commando is unnecessary, just add it in under the first rep.lvl.
And lastly you're map doesn't need to crash for you to get an error log just run the debug version of the game close it and check the error log.

Re: How To Switch Troopers
Yes, post that.
Also, scratch that other post I posted, it does apply but you ahve the same name for rep and rep. Have you edited the NORMAL rep side at all? If you haven't your lua bit should look like this:
Let me repeat it's only for the normal sides and if you have EDITED the normal sides in any way.

Re: How To Switch Troopers
Par3210 that is incorrect, he has a custom dc: rep side already, he either needs to put it under that or rename the other rep.lvl since 2 can't exist in the SIDE folder at once.

So you just changed your lua to add the new unit, right?

Re: How To Switch Troopers
You asking "I want such-and-such" means nothing to us if you only show us a .lua, since you are clearly making a custom side. The users above were trying to help you get a stock Felucia sniper ingame, but if you make a custom side it could be called anything, as could your commando.
If you have problems, I suggest reading through the documentation, specifically Jedi Creation. If that doesn't help, please read through some of the side creation tutorials in the "Everything you need" thread.

Re: How To Switch Troopers
i read through http://www.gametoast.com/forums/viewtop ... 27&t=12729
but i wanted to know if there was an easier way to just change one stock unit into another
(rifleman = felucia sniper)
and one stock unit into a custom unit
(jettrooper = scorch commando)

Re: How To Switch Troopers
You have to make a new side to make a custom unit. There are no shortcuts.
You can easily change one stock unit into another stock unit if you pay attention and do what the people above said (and you load the units from the stock side .lvl), but if you want a custom unit you have to make a custom side.

Re: How To Switch Troopers
that's what I was trying to say. Your rep side said it was "dc:" so did you even have the rep side in data_???\Sides?
