Sorry, should have been more specific.
Your first guess is right.
However, that should not be the problem since you were able to replace the marksman with the new unit.
I initially misread your first post.

ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\all.lvl"

How exactly have you set up your project?
Do you add the new unit class to the all.req file and copy the munged all.lvl file over to the GameData/Data/lvl_pc/Sides/ folder?
Or did you munge the tat2 map and use it from the addon folder?



Regarding your changes to the soldier class: It would be helpful to see what lines you changed in the odf.

You need a "dc" infront of your SIDE\\all.lvl.
The ReadDataFile function specifies a filepath.
If no dc is put infront the default all.lvl is loaded. Because the default lvl does not know about the flanker it crashes.

One final update: I added the download link for the SWBF2 Version.

I just released version 1.0 and updated the download links in the original post.

Thanks to Dave (wsa30h) for porting it to the classic collection!

If you are familiar with modding already, you could take a look at this thread: https://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?topic=14877.0
However, this will take a bit longer than 5 minutes 

If you aren't familiar with modding, and you want to share the map(s) name(s), there is a high probability that you will receive some help.

Thanks

Hi all,

after several months of work, my map is finally in a playable state.
This is still a preview version and a few things need polishing, but I'd really appreciate any feedback you can give.

The map takes place on the jungle planet Akiva, in a small village inspired by various Asian architectural styles.
Although the planet exists in Star Wars lore (you can find it on Wookieepedia), this map is not connected to canon.

Below are some impressions of the map.

If you would like to have the loading screen for the map, download it from the loading screen link.
Be advised to make a backup of your original files!
Extract the contents (aki1.lvl, load.lvl) to GameData/Data/_LVL_PC/Load.

Big thanks to the GameToast and SleepKillers discord servers for educating me on several topics. 
Thanks to Dave (wsa30h) for porting to the classic collection.


It's very likely that we will play the map on multiplayer on the AR server (SWBFspy) in the next weeks.
Feel free to join us.

You need to load the rebel sound file in your script.
Look at the section where it says:

--start soundlvl
ReadDataFile("sound\\tat.lvl;tat1gcw");    -- or "cw" in your case
--end soundlvl

Should be straight forward from here.

There is also another way for chrome-based browsers.

- Right-click the download link
- Select "Copy link address"
- Paste the link in a new tab

The download is started, but you still have to confirm an "unsafe" download.

For completeness...
Lua 5 and Lua 4 follow completely different concepts under the hood. Lua 5 is register-based while Lua 4 is stack-based. My library only supports the stack-based approach.

Good thing that you found a solution 

It's probably a win 11 problem. Last idea I have would be to run the cmd in compatability mode

... /bin is supposed to be a placeholder to the bin folder.
Just cd into the bin folder and then run the command.

Quote from: Kit Fisto on April 29, 2025, 09:22:00 AMHow do I run this command? When I try to run it in command prompt it won't work.

Using the command with CMD inside the binary folder produces a *.script file for me.

Maybe start fresh with a plain mission_lvl folder?

Another thing you could try is running your initial command in an admin CMD.

What happens if you run the most simple command?
...\bin>ScriptMunge.exe -inputfile ..\scripts\BES\bes1a.lua -outputdir .

Got the animations working.

The "takeoff" animation just needs to be named that.

Regarding fin animations, I found an older post from Sereja: https://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?topic=7145.msg77156#msg77156
Each type of movement is assigned one keyframe in the animation (i.e. 0 = foward left).

However, combining a takeoff and fin animation seem to bite each other.
