Keep getting error messages

[LBmyBB]

So I was hoping to make a custom side for myself (which you kind find what it is and an explanation heeeerrre - http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?topic=12904.0)

But I keep getting stuck cuz I'm constantly getting these ERROR MESAGES like this one here https://imgur.com/a/QTfAD8F

At this point (which isn't really a point cuz it's like i didn't even get to get that in depth with what I wanted to do) i would ask someone to do this whole thing for me.  OOOR someone explain what's the dealio here with the error messages.

[Led]

1) let's start simpler  (see below)

2) what is the path that BFBuilder is installed in? The whole location like c:\blah\blah\blah



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let's start you with some simple mission mods.

Download and uncompress thisL
http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=319


go to this folder
N:\mission.lvl_PC_swbf1\scripts\BES  -------note that your path will different

open the file bes2a.lua with notepad

look at this section:

Code Select Expand


--              Alliance Stats
        SetTeamName(ALL, "Alliance")
        SetTeamIcon(ALL, "all_icon")
    AddUnitClass(ALL, "all_inf_soldierurban",11)
    AddUnitClass(ALL, "all_inf_vanguard",3)
    AddUnitClass(ALL, "all_inf_pilot",4)
    AddUnitClass(ALL, "all_inf_marksman",4)
    AddUnitClass(ALL, "all_inf_smuggler",3)
    SetHeroClass(ALL, "all_inf_lukeskywalker")
    SetAttackingTeam(ATT);


and change it to look like this:

    AddUnitClass(ALL, "all_inf_lukeskywalker",3)
    SetHeroClass(ALL, "all_inf_lukeskywalker")
    SetAttackingTeam(ATT);


double click on munge.bat located here  N:\mission.lvl_PC_swbf1   (or where your folder is)


If you have space, make a complete backup copy of this folder
C:\Program Files (x86)\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront   like BACKUPSWBF

go to this location:
N:\mission.lvl_PC_swbf1\_lvl_pc   and copy the newly created mission.lvl file


now paste it into this location (after you made the backup of the whole game folder or at least the mission.lvl that is in here)

C:\Program Files (x86)\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront\GameData\Data\_LVL_PC

Now play cloud city as rebels and see what happens.


I think that will give you the idea of some things you can do.  Much more is possible when BFBuilder is working.

[LBmyBB]

Ok, I'm getting an idea of what's going on now.  So from this, how can I tell the game to add the geonosian to the CIS side, and then edit its stats?

[Led]

If you want to play a Geonosian with "stock" abilities, use the geonosian map side and edit the unit from the local team into a playable slot into the mission.

To edit the abilities of the Geonosian gun, we are going to need to get your BFbuilder working.

Let me know your install path.  The tool will break if there are any spaces in path.

Make it like this:  C:\BFBuilder\blah\blah

and make sure it is not like this:

C:\Program Files\notice the\spaces are bad\BFbuilder


that is the most common error.   

[LBmyBB]

My build path is D:Games/STARWARSBATTLEFRONT/LucasArts/BFBuilder

SO i fiddled around applpying geonosian to the playable team...and I disabled the one I was gonna swap it with 

[Led]

My build path is D:Games/STARWARSBATTLEFRONT/LucasArts/BFBuilder

SO i fiddled around applpying geonosian to the playable team...and I disabled the one I was gonna swap it with 

I would recommend just putting it in c:\BFBuilder

I am not sure it can handle such a long folder name.   There should be a detailed readme in the installation package that I linked.

No worries about the wrong edit, it is easy to try again!

[LBmyBB]

Oh boy, I did it-ish.  SO i succeeded in adding the geonosian to the the roster list.  So i decided to do the exact same thing to bes1r.lua

However, I get this message when I use the munge.bat - https://imgur.com/a/Ao06IAq
Here is what bes1r.lua looks like from everything I changed.
- https://imgur.com/a/3ZOZOvt

I'm pretty sure this is identical to what I did for geonosis.

[Led]

Well, the cloud city map does not originally contain geonosians, so you have to do more than just change the mission lua.

So, we need to get your BFBuilder working to make more progress.

[LBmyBB]

OKDOKEY, so i did what you said and changed the location.  Now it just reads D:LucasArts/BFbuilder.  Is that ok? If not, I will do what needs to be done.  If so, show me how to do this 

[Led]

OK, follow this  tutorial
http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?topic=8.0

starting at right after BFBuilder is ready 
(simple side editing)


make a MODID
and load the Geonosian Stock Side
edit the ODF file using notepad


Note that there are ODF files for units and weapons and other thing separately.
You may need to edit several ODF files to get what you want.

[LBmyBB]

OKOK, so I think I have some understanding.  Although, I'm a little overwhelmed because idk what to do when the geonosian stuff doesn't have anything to replace droid pilot stuff (and weapon stuff).  What do I do?

[Led]

So I wanna like edit the rep and cis sides cuz I want a custom team.  I don't wanna do much (or is it) cuz its basically the same sides just with the gungan replacing the republic pilot, and the geonosian replacing the droid pilot.  Also wanna them to be able to take more hits and have the sonic blaster deal a little more damage.  Is that particularly hard and something I can do on my own?  I'm a simple person and i'm about as good as dragging and dropping files.

OK, so at this point I assume you have BFBuilder working and have imported the "retail side":  GEO

Use Windows [File] Explorer and go into:
F:\LucasArts\BFBuilder\Datags1\Sides\GEO\ODF

where your directory will look slightly different.  I see three files, and here is one:

Now go here:
F:\LucasArts\BFBuilder\Datags1

(note gs1 is my Mod ID)

and double click on 64bitMunge.bat
a window will pop up and a lot of things will scroll by.

You will get a soundmunge warning, but that is OK.

Go here:
F:\LucasArts\BFBuilder\AddOn


find your folder (mine is called gs1)
F:\LucasArts\BFBuilder\AddOn\gs1

Go here:
F:\LucasArts\BFBuilder\AddOn\gs1\Data\_lvl_pc\Side

I have a file called geo.lvl

rename it to updategeo.lvl
(or whatever you want).

Now we go back to the mission builder. (next post)

Find this line:
   ReadDataFile("SIDE\\geo.lvl",
        "gen_inf_geonosian")

and change it to read your file

Find this line:
   ReadDataFile("SIDE\\updategeo.lvl",
        "gen_inf_geonosian")



Add the unit to the playable units:
--  CIS Stats
    SetTeamName(CIS, "CIS")
    SetTeamIcon(CIS, "cis_icon")
    AddUnitClass(CIS, "cis_inf_battledroid",11)
    AddUnitClass(CIS, "cis_inf_assault",3)
    AddUnitClass(CIS, "gen_inf_geonosian",4)
    AddUnitClass(CIS, "cis_inf_assassindroid",4)
    AddUnitClass(CIS, "cis_inf_droideka",3)
    SetHeroClass(CIS, "cis_inf_countdooku")

Munge the mission; replace the mission file in
C:\Program Files (x86)\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront\GameData\Data\_LVL_PC


This next step is really important:
copy this file
F:\LucasArts\BFBuilder\AddOn\gs1\Data\_lvl_pc\Side\updategeo.lvl

to this location

C:\Program Files (x86)\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront\GameData\Data\_LVL_PC\SIDE

Play the Geonosis map and have fun.


Important:  This will crash your game in multiplayer.   Single player will be fine.

If you want to turn this into an Addon Map, then we have some more work to do.

Lit.  So ok, actually in the line whereit said "AddUnitClass(etc." it needs to say geo_inf_geonosian, not gen_inf_geonosian.  I liked being able to edit their hp and damage so they aren't useless.  So I have 2 questions now.  1, how do I get the camera to not be so zoomed in (aka how do I get it to be in the normal position for every other class), and 2, how do I get it so I can play as the CIS with the geonosians on any map?
