Eras can only be added by the era mod author as far as I know.

Happy fourth everyone!

Very nice 

Nice to meet you 

This map looks beautiful!

Those look like errors one would get if they are missing .req files. Are you following any tutorials?

is that the complete log?

Yep, very weird. I got bf2_modtools.exe to work properly on a different computer (for some reason it hates the one I use for modding), but I haven't had the time to transfer the mod files and look at the bfront2log. I'm just thankful I got that part working, even if it's not the most ideal solution.

Any side mods installed?

No, unless you count v.1.3 patch. I uninstalled them when I reinstalled the game, but the issue still remains.

Works fine for me.

My BF2_modtools.exe crashes whenever I try and load a map (including vanilla), even though the normal application works fine. I'm using the modified no dvd version of BF2_modtools.exe from gametoast.

My BFront2.log says this:

Nice to meet you

I have been trying to introduce a hero assault mode to my mod, but I have been having an issue where when I add new force powers to heroes. The game crashes when I try to load hero assault, but works perfectly fine in conquest. My first thought was that I should raise memory pools relating to emitterordanance, but that hasn't yielded any results which left me pretty confused. Here is my lua if it helps:

It makes me sad to hear that. I should have started modding this game years ago, but here I am now. Modding this game has become my favorite thing to do in my free time because I always wanted make things the way I wanted them to be since I was a kid.

Hey guys, I've been working on a sides mod and I thought I could share a little teaser for a custom hero with you guys before I release it to the public:

https://youtu.be/ZcLLq_VlWQg

Clone wars era showcase (outdated):


It has support for conquest on every stock map (more game modes to come in the future) and features custom units, sounds, etc. I've been playing this mod with a group of friends online, and we've had a lot of fun. A trailer is currently in the works, so I will let you guys download it whenever that is finished.

If only we could get this Grievous:

That would be a good day.
