Creating a separate topic for a secondary issue I brought up in this thread a few months ago:

https://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?topic=14888.0

I've created new heroes by copying assets from BF2 and modifying the stock SIDES and MISSION.lvl to load them in each level.

LEVEL CIS REP IMP ALL

Bespin Platforms Dooku Windu Boba Han
Bespin Cloud City Griev Obiwan Vader Luke
Endor - - Palp Luke
Geonosis Dooku Windu - -
Hoth - - Vader Luke
Kamino Griev Obiwan - -
Kashyyyk Islands Dooku Obiwan Vader Han
Kashyyyk Docks Griev Windu Vader Yoda
Naboo Plains Maul Obiwan Palp Yoda
Naboo Theed Maul Obiwan Palp Yoda
Rhen Var Harbor Griev Windu Boba Yoda
Rhen Var Citadel Maul Anakin Boba Yoda
Tatooine Dune Sea Dooku Anakin Palp Luke
Tatooine Mos Eisley Maul Anakin Boba Han
Tatooine Jabbas Palace Dooku Anakin Boba Luke
Yavin 4 Temple Griev Anakin Vader Han
Yavin 4 Arena Maul Windu Palp Han
It works perfectly fine in SP, but an MP game crashes as soon as one of the new heroes spawn in. The MP maps work fine if Heroes are turned off, and maps with only the stock game heroes also work fine in MP. So the issue lies somewhere with the new custom heroes and only specifically in an MP game.

Does anyone have any idea why MP would crash but SP doesn't? Is there any way for me to get a useful error log to post here?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I'm trying to add variety to the heroes present on stock maps. For example, one of either Windu, Obiwan, or Anakin for the Republic depending on the map (instead of always Windu).

I'm copying the assets from BF2. I know how to add the new unit as well as adding them to the mission.lvl for each stock map, but I'm having trouble with the unit names. On the kill messages, instead of "MACE WINDU KILLED UNIT 123", replacing with my custom Obiwan hero instead gives "(random clone name) KILLED UNIT 123". The player list at the end of the battle also doesnt correctly display his name.

Obviously this is because Obiwan is not localized in the stock game's localization files, so how do I go about adding him and other heroes I intend to bring over?

Thanks!
