Hey, this question may be stupid but i have finished a mod and all works perfectly in the mod map that i create. all units are perfect. without a problem. But the question is, how a make the mod work in the other maps?

I want to know how to put my units in the default maps such as coruscant.

I think there was some tutorial somewhere here.I really dont have the time to explain this....

Maybe edit a copy of the map by adding your custom units to the mission files.
When you create a mod and get no feedback it feels cheap, leave a comment or tell me to go elsewhere.

You have two choices.

1) make your new unit names just the same exact names as the units on the stock maps, then replace your side lvl files in your stock folder with your side lvl files that you created

OR

2) remake the mission.lvl files and call the names of the units in your side lvl file instead of the names of the units in the stock files

Okay. I have to use that option. But a have another question, where i put the my units in the mission file?

I have this in the mission file:

ucft
{
    REQN
    {
        "config"
        "ingame_movies"   
    }

    REQN
    {
        "script"
        "setup_teams"
        "gametype_conquest"
        "gametype_capture"
        "Objective"
        "MultiObjectiveContainer"
        "ObjectiveCTF"
        "ObjectiveAssault"
        "ObjectiveSpaceAssault"
        "ObjectiveConquest"
        "ObjectiveTDM"
        "ObjectiveOneFlagCTF"
   "SoundEvent_ctf"
        "ObjectiveGoto"       
        "LinkedShields"
        "LinkedDestroyables"
        "LinkedTurrets"
        "Ambush"
        "PlayMovieWithTransition"
    }

    REQN
    {
        "lvl"
        "CW1g_con"
        "CW1c_con"
    }
}

That is not the mission lua.

Here is bes2g_ctf.lua

Perfect. All done. So now i replace mission.lvl of the game for the one that i just munged with my units included. Nothing more? Because when i enter to the map, in this case coruscant, it crash.

I only replace the mission.lvl.

Hopefully i make a backup of the original mission.lvl. But i am doing something wrong.

It should work unless there is another reason that the mission or side level is causing a crash...there are many possible reasons.  Without knowing your modifications, it is not possible for me to say what it is.

It might--it depends on where his side is located and where his lua is looking for it.

Please post your mission lua for that map and we can take a look.
