[HELP] How can I create custom sides in SWBF?

[Gui de Machaut]

Hello, my friends

I'm trying to create a custom side in SWBF 1, but the game is crashing

I'm putting this on LUA script:

    ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\all.lvl",



Someone can help me? Thanks!!

dc: is for the downloadable content folder.

If you have nothing there, or do not have all.lvl there, it will crash.

Oh, thanks, friend!!

I really confuse about modding BF 1     
I'm trying to change the ALL side, but the changes don't appear in the game. I'm taking the ALL folder from assets and putting in the sides directory of my MOD folder. Then I',m editing the ALL'S ODFs, but these changes don't appear in game.

I'm thinked that this problem was going because I'm notting putting "dc:" on
        "ReadDataFile("SIDE\\all.lvl",
        "all_inf_basicdesert",
   "all_inf_lukeskywalker",
        "all_inf_smuggler");
but apparently I'm wrong

What do I do? (Sorry if my message was confuse; I'm learning english, still)

and the lua guide tutorial

And look at the tat3.lua.  It will help you locate the items.
