I have been trying to make native side mods (my favorite is Ewoks). I have made this work on Endor without much trouble as everything is pretty much clear-cut, just some Ewok odf edits and simple mission.lvl changes. Moving past Endor though, there have been some hitches in it.
All: Don't know how to localize spawn screen names. 0001af085xx whatever. Also have problems with skinning. Only 2 stock skins. I'm just not good at it :wacko: And Ewoks only make noises on Endor.
Cloud City: [NULL] is team name and AI name. Tried adding "local" add-in like on levels with local teams but I still get [NULL].
Kashyyyk Docks: Did successfully localize to an extent by changing "Wookiees" team name to "Ewoks" because it really has no effect unless i did Ewoks vs Wookiees, but it's Ewoks vs Rebs with Wookiees. I would like to keep the Wookiees but I don't think that's possible without "Ewok killed %name%" when a Wookiee kills someone.
Hoth: Can't believe it actually worked but did some req editing and added in like half of the imp odf files (Ewoks vs Rebs). Problem: still says Empire when I edit everything in hoth.lua. Only level that this happens with (cps are green instead of typical yellow).
I don't know if anyone could help with these problems but anything would be appreciated. Thanks!
There is a fix for this? Man, I wish i knew it... I have the same problems all the time
You need to do "localization" by creating are core.lvl file. The tool should be in the mod tools or I think Bamdur made a tool, but I can't locate it at the moment.
