Thanks for reaching out and wanting to check my code

The new class is called "all_inf_flanker", here are the mission.lvl changes I made to tat2i.lua.

Since my first message I did some experimentation and found that replacing the darktrooper class posed no problems. The game kept running and the NPCs played the new class without issue. So I am puzzled as to why editing the smuggler and rebel trooper classes (or their loadout) causes issues.

Just before writing this reply I tested it again just to be sure. It crashes as soon as the NPCs join, but in an PVP LAN match the class is fully playable without issue.

Thanks again for taking the time

Video of gameplay including the expanded droid hall area

your welcome do post some screenshots of your work

Go ahead and share your mission.lvl lua changes here, and we'll see what we can figure out with them.

Amazing, working perfectly, thank you so much!

Over four years later, I have returned to work on this, looking to make some improvements to the layout and models:

-I'm aiming to add emissive to many of the 'lights' in the level. They won't be true lights since SWBF1 does not have glow, but it should look better
-I've made the droid hall much wider, you no longer can get trapped behind the stairs
-I've built new ramp modules to add some extra verticality and tweaked existing corridor modules so they can fit together more cleanly
-I've added an option to play with stock sides

Work is still ongoing so no ETA yet, this one's a bit more complicated than the Battle of Hoth tweaks (which are pretty much done at this point, expect a release in the near future of that)

 

Hi, been a while just checking in.

Hi all,

I am working on a sidemod that aims to bring more gameplay variety to the factions/classes. I want to squeeze much gameplay out of SWBF1 without importing any external assets.

So far, it's been going great! But I ran into some issues that I have not been able troubleshoot:

Whenever I import a new class into the game and it replaces the wookie smuggler it crashes. But if said new class replaces the marksman class, the game runs without issue. The same thing happens after removing a grenade from "all_inf_soldier.odf". In both cases the crash occured as soon as NPCs spawned into the map.

For this mod I've only edited the MISSION.LVL for TAT2 and the SIDES.LVL for the game.

Any ideas of what could trigger these crashes?

Thanks for your time!

hey buddy i have something better for you follow my old tutorial here after downloading the addme. it features phantoms custom era hide code. if you dont want to do it this way you can copy the era hide code from the addme into your shell.https://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?topic=14522.msg125519#msg125519
