Title: space battle
Post by: Kade on January 14, 2017, 04:21:06 PM
hello everyone :)

has anyone managed to get any space or ground battles between the empire vs empire, clone vs clone or clone vs empire. i would love this so much :) is it possible to make the rebel soldier a clone soldier/rebel marine as a clone marine. also have a arc 170 spawn at a rebel ship?

my custom maps i made with my customs sides wont work for me.

this would be amazing if someone could get back to me.
thanks

for ground battles you could fairly easily mod the mission.

just load rep.lvl or whatever and put all the units in there.
(i think)

What all did you do to the maps/sides?

You can also Hex-edit the mission.lvl instead of munging a new one

I am not saying that anything I do in this tutorial is the "Correct Way" but it works fine for me  :)

This exemple assume that you already have your munged side with your new units. (i.e rep.lvl)

1) Get a Hex-Editor
I'll use HxD for this tut: https://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/

2) Go to [yourgamedirectory]/Gamedata/Data/_LVL_PC/ (Make a backup of the original mission.lvl first!)

3) Open mission.lvl with the Hex Editor

4) Search for "spa.lvl" with the search tool, the first space map found is "spa1gcw" scroll down and find "SIDE" you can now notice the list of units.
First change "all.lvl" by "rep.lvl" and then change all the units you want, it's easy. (Your units odf or name MUST have the same number of characters!)

5) Hit Ctrl+s to save

[spoiler](https://s28.postimg.org/5qin01c5p/Capture_help.jpg)[/spoiler]

Exemple: in my side .lvl file i have one unit called "rep_inf_rifle". This unit is in my side folder, in that case "all". Once munged i will have all.lvl

- My goal is to replace the rebel pilot in space called "all_inf_pilot" as you can see here my unit have the same number of characters/letters.

- Use the search tool and tipe "all_inf_pilot" when found, tipe "rep_inf_rifle" instead. After that check if there another "all_inf_pilot" somewhere else if so reapeat the last step.

thanks

i tried it but it would crash if i edited a space battle. i manged to get emipre vs clones on tantive iv but thats it. also how can i use the rep_inf_ep2_jetrooper_rifleman ??

if i try to change anything on the hex edit it would change the numbering and like you said it has to be the same?
lol i think im just really confused.

so basically i can munge a new side and replace the old one.

example: change rep_inf_ep3_rifleman to all_inf_rifleman and then munge and all the riflemen will be clones ?

Yes, but you should edit the mission .lvl file

when you said

Exemple: in my side .lvl file i have one unit called "rep_inf_rifle". This unit is in my side folder, in that case "all". Once munged i will have all.lvl

- My goal is to replace the rebel pilot in space called "all_inf_pilot" as you can see here my unit have the same number of characters/letters.

i changed rep_inf_ep3_pilot to rep_inf_pilot and and i munged it and put it in my game files. then edited spa.lvl to rep vs imp and when i spawn i can only be imp or it will crash the game but if i pic imp and go to the rebel ship, nobody or no ships are found
