Thanks! 

I will work on it.  (Time constraint kept me from digging into this sooner.)

Try my 6 - teams cloud city map with your mission file.  That can help pinpoint the issue.

Also, be sure that player and server both have the new mission file.

This is a WIP tutorial.  If anyone knows of a better one, please let me know.
If anyone finds errors, please let me know.



Unit types are organized by class, e.g. basic infantry for CIS is sniper, pilot, rocket, etc.


Example:  We want to and a jetdroid class with multiple jet units.


-you will need the jetdroid ODF files and associated weapon files.
see this post:  http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?topic=4073.msg41439#msg41439


-in the root of the CIS side folder, modify the CIS.REQ file to include the cis_inf_jetdroid class:


ucft
{
REQN
{
"lvl"
"cis_inf_basic"
"cis_inf_basic_battledroids"
"cis_inf_countdooku"
"cis_inf_droideka"
                "cis_inf_jetdroid"
"cis_tread_hailfire"
}
}



-inside the CIS REQ folder, edit the cis_inf_jetdroid.req file that defines  the elements of the class.  Each unit will have its own line.  Here, there is jetdroid and jetdroid1 units.


ucft
{
REQN
{
"class"
"cis_inf_jetdroid"   
    "cis_inf_jetdroid1"
}
}




-in the ODF folder, make your units called cis_inf_jetdroid and cis_inf_jetdroid1, etc.
note that the items defined in the ODF must exist and be in the right spots.  See ODF tutorials for more information about this.


-in your map LUA file, load  the class using this line (note, the location will change depending on where your side is at):


ReadDataFile("SWBFgamersUpdate1.0\\sides\\11-SleepKiller\\jetdroid\\side\\cis.lvl",
   "cis_inf_jetdroid");

this loads all the units in the jetdroid class


and, also in the lua, load the particular unit (in this case, jetdroid1)
by this line

thanks.  operator error on my part.

fixed

Here is a link to his (tentative) ODF files with the jetdroid model and effects by sky_216.

Phobos, if you could tweak the battledroid, we can include that in the update too.  (and anything else you want to contribute, too.)


I would like to release the 1.0 update by the end of January for players, then have a mission update by mid-summer 2012.  Even if we don't use all the assets at this time, we can call on them in later mission files.


EDIT: I have tweaked the unit a bit and given the rocket launcher the same geometry as the mortar launcher.
I still have no sounds for the jet though.  Can someone give me a link to a sounds tutorial?  Or help explain them to me?  (also, I changed the name so its spelled "droid" )

The autolock rocket is a little bit powerful, but the unit has relatively low health and takes fall damage.  If I can get the req files correct, I will make a bunch of variants.


Thanks

OK, DL link is working now.  I moved it to "released assets"

Edit, I got it to work 


A couple of issues I could use help with:
-no jet sounds
-jet is a bit "blocky" looking
-the weapon for rocket looks the same as the weapon for blaster




Note that I spelled the unit name the way the ODF file name is listed:
"cis_inf_jetdoird"


below is my working LUA

it was approved, it must have had a hiccup.  let me check

edit:  it's listed as a zero byte file--it must have gotten an error somewhere.

Sleepkiller, if you want to upload it somewhere or by the SWBFgamers.com FTP then I will get it uploaded here.

Thanks

Very nice!

Thanks for sharing the source.

I'll give a try if i find the time for.
This is always online from 2nd to the 4th ?

Thanks. (:

Yes, it will stay up all the time for a few days.  But it is hard to know when others will be playing on it.  If I can arrange a specific time with a lot of players, I will let you know.

You can't really open the side.lvl file, but you can make a new one.

Read this topic very carefully:
http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?topic=8.0

If you use a 64 bit windows version.let us know--there is an additional step that must be taken.

Phobos also has standalone side builders--he can provide links to those.

Basically, there are text files *.ODF that contain all the settings for everything.  Editing them is fun.  Then you compile or MUNGE them to make the new side lvl file.

you're talking about when you were adding CW era to Hoth Escape, right?
