It's not working! I did what you said, I put my custom ReadDataFile right inbetween the two others (with the dc: added), and I put an AddUnitClass at the bottom of the SetupTeams, but I still have the stock Republic sides and nothing else!

Re: Custom Side: How To
Hmm...not sure, but it think its your character causing the crash. Is your pdwn.lvl in the add-on folder where the game is installed? It should go here: C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront II\GameData\AddOn\PAD\Data\_lvl_pc\SIDE\pdwn.lvl
Also did you add "imp_inf_bobafett" to the SIDES .req file and make a .req with the name imp_inf_bobafett and place it in the req folder?

Re: Custom Side: How To
Try using imp_hero_bobafett instead?
If this is different, I'd check your req files, and make sure you the correct odf's set up in the units req file. Also make sure you have the common folder in your sides folder. Could you post your units odf - and req file?
(Shouldn't this be a new topic?)

Re: Custom Side: How To
LVL chunk problems are most likely caused by A) Your unit's not in a req B) you misspelled it in your lua. It's one or the other.

Re: Custom Side: How To
Can you confirm that an actual pdwn.lvl file exist? Did you remember to make an pdwn folder in data_***\Build\Sides containing the munge and clean batch files copied from the ALL folder also found in the same directory?

Re: Custom Side: How To
Naming scheme is utterly irrelevant. You could call him "imp_hover_bobafett" and it would be just the same.[TFA]Padawan_Fighter wrote:Because I want him to be an infantry class, not a hero.
You're probably missing an actual .req file for him or you didn't appropriately rename the unit in your side. Does an imp_inf_bobafett.req file exist? And what does it say if it does?

Re: Custom Side: How To
ive a similar problem, ive made everything correct but it doesnt work and there is nothing strange in the log...
tipp for all with those problems: copy your side lvls (example: cis2.lvl) into and leave out the "dc:" in the LUA.
if your side is valid, it works
(and if you upload this map, you should write a well describing readme for this)

you must have written something wrong into the lua because battlefront cant find the side where you wrote it was
(thats the only explanation possible because otherwise putting the side into battlefronts shipped sidesfolder wouldnt resolve the problem otherwise)

Re: Custom Side: How To
But if he cant find the side (wrong written, invalid etc.) there WILL BE something in the log.
ive nothing like this in my log, but the map crashes if I write the correct things in the LUA, so i have to trick the game...

Re: Custom Side: How To
I am not sure exactly what you're trying to say, but if you "write the correct things in the LUA," the map will not crash as a result of that. If you have a crash it is a problem with something you are doing incorrectly and you are only associating it with the .lua - that is not the cause.Bob wrote:but the map crashes if I write the correct things in the LUA, so i have to trick the game...

Re: Custom Side: How To
I try to say that:
1. my map crashes while loading because of the custom side
2. the .log doesnt post anything
3. my side is correct made (its the default "rep" side)
4. the LUA is correct
5. I dont know what to do

Start a new topic. Post your problem, what you've done, and what happens. Post your .lua and error log.

Re: Custom Side: How To
Iv did what it said in this tut 3 times and it still does not work. This is what i got. I am adding a varation of the dark trooper to a map i made.
Side name is PMS
req file name is pms.req and its a text file.
Inside that file is written
ucft
{
REQN
{
"lvl"
"pms_inf_supr_tropr"
}
}
In the req folder is a file called pms_inf_supr_tropr.req and is written
ucft
{
REQN
{
"class"
"pms_inf_supr_tropr"
}
}
The odf file is called pms_inf_supr_tropr.odf
I got all the files in the other folders in the side folder.
I did put the Clean and Munge bat files in the folder that is located in C:\BF2_ModTools\data_PMS\_BUILD\Sides\PMS
Last i went and edited the PMSg_con.lua file
imp = {
team = IMP,
units = 20,
reinforcements = 150,
soldier = { "imp_inf_rifleman",9, 25},
assault = { "imp_inf_rocketeer",1,4},
engineer = { "imp_inf_engineer",1,4},
sniper = { "imp_inf_sniper",1,4},
special = { "imp_inf_dark_trooper",1,4},
},
}
SetHeroClass(ALL, "all_hero_hansolo_tat")
SetHeroClass(IMP, "imp_hero_bobafett")
AddUnitClass(IMP, "pms_inf_supr_tropr",1,4)
and
ReadDataFile("SIDE\\all.lvl",
"all_inf_rifleman",
"all_inf_rocketeer",
"all_inf_sniper",
"all_inf_engineer",
"all_inf_officer",
"all_inf_wookiee",
"all_hero_hansolo_tat")
ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\pms.lvl",
"pms_inf_supr_tropr")
ReadDataFile("SIDE\\imp.lvl",
"imp_inf_rifleman",
"imp_inf_rocketeer",
"imp_inf_engineer",
"imp_inf_sniper",
"imp_inf_officer",
Hope this helps and thank you for reading this and takeing your time.

Re: Custom Side: How To
This might be a stupid question, but did you munge your side before playing?
The rest sounds fine to me.
