Hey guys, I was wondering if there's a way to play as one of the Tusken on Tatooine. Like, joining the team 'Tusken' and interact with command posts and so on.

You can't join the natives, but you can make an entire team as Tuskens instead of Clones.  Just switch them around in the LUA  (make the clones the natives).  Give it a try, and if you get stuck, post your LUA.

Not that I'm having doubts about your knowledge, sir.
But would you take a look at the Naboo Plains Mod? It's making the Naboo Royal Guards, Gungans and Wookies on Kashyyk: Islands playable as a whole team and you even get yellow command posts! I thought it would work with the Tusken as well :c Thank you regardless for your advice :)

There's no reason why this couldn't be done. Easiest way to accomplish this is through Led's tutorial on editing stock maps. I'll have to link it later because I'm using my phone right now. I too am a Tusken Raiders lover and have wanted to have playable Tuskens on Dune Sea since I got the game in 04.  :happy: I seriously hope you could do this! There's plenty of resources around the site to help you accomplish this; take a browse!

Hey man, thought I was the only Tusken-liking-guy around :D I edited the .lua file with the knowledge that Led told me. I managed to have yellow command posts and all enemies had red ones (Alliance and Empire). I couldn't let my Tusken team spawn at the two Tusken starting Command posts. Instead we had the rebel starting CPs with no vehicles spawning! Maybe Led or his tutorial can show me how to fix it :3

Changing CPs will require a map edit.  Are you ready for the next step?

Feel free to ask if you have any issues dude, I came across a lot of issues since I'm into BF modding, and I wouldn't have made it through without the help of the community.  8)

It's been a long time, but I'm pretty sure that in my Execution at Geonosis mod, you can play as a Tusken Raider. It's in the mission map where the gamer is supposed to play as Anakin on Tatooine, getting revenge on the Tusken Raiders for the death of his mom.  You're supposed to be Anakin, but if you spawn on the other team, you can then play as a Tusken (although not sure if the game is too easy if you do that, you're only fighting Anakin which would be an AI bot).
