Custom SIDE Issues

[Ginev]

I know this topic is 30 days old but i think this is the right place to post this:

Ok i know how to add custom units.Its almost the same in Battlefont 1.But here for BF2 is a little different and i stuck on the final part where i rather than replacing old unit with my custom i decided to add it on a new spawn button.This is part of my luaC file:

                             "rep_hover_fightertank",

         special = { "rep_inf_ep3_jettrooper",1, 4},
          
      },
      cis = {
         team = CIS,
         units = 20,
         reinforcements = 150,
         soldier  = { "cis_inf_rifleman",9, 25},
         assault  = { "cis_inf_rocketeer",1, 4},

   }
     
    SetHeroClass(CIS, "cis_hero_darthmaul")
    SetHeroClass(REP, "rep_hero_anakin")
   
    AddUnitClass(REP, "qwe_inf_ep3_rifleman",1,4)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As you see i added this on the end:
AddUnitClass(REP, "qwe_inf_ep3_rifleman",1,4)

When i munge ingame there is a new spawn button for the REP side but Anakin Skywalker is occupyed that slot.I dont see my custom soldier.Where is the problem?If someone know please help.

I think you should add your customs lines after "rep_infep3jettrooper"
Then save, munge and try the map
Hope it's help a little 

[Ginev]

How this is going to look in my lua?Please copy part of my lua and edit it so i can see exactly how this looks like.

Sorry for late answer  I think and I HOPE this will work

Here's an example on how I set up a 7th unit:

Code Select Expand

    ReadDataFile("sound\\yav.lvl;yav1cw")
    ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\rep.lvl",
                             "newunits",
                             "rep_hero_plokoon",
     "rep_walk_atte")
    ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\cis.lvl",
                             "newunits",
                             "cis_hero_grievous",
                             "cis_walk_spider")
                             
                             
    ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\snw.lvl",
    "snw_inf_chain")         
                             
SetupTeams{
             
        rep = {
            team = REP,
            units = 28,
            reinforcements = 150,
            soldier  = { "rep_inf_ep2_rifleman",10, 25},
            assault  = { "rep_inf_ep2_rocketeer",1, 4},
            engineer = { "rep_inf_ep2_engineer",1, 4},
            sniper   = { "rep_inf_ep2_sniper",1, 4},
            officer = {"rep_inf_ep2_assault",1, 4},
            special = { "rep_inf_ep2_melee",1, 4},
           
        },
     }

    AddUnitClass(REP,"rep_inf_ep2_officer",1,2)
    AddUnitClass(REP,"rep_inf_ep2_demolitions",  1,2)
    AddUnitClass(REP,"rep_inf_ep2_flash",1,1)

SetupTeams{
        cis = {
            team = CIS,
            units = 28,
            reinforcements = 150,
            soldier  = { "cis_inf_rifleman_geo",10, 25},
            assault  = { "cis_inf_rocketeer_geo",1, 4},
            engineer = { "cis_inf_engineer_geo",1, 4},
            sniper   = { "cis_inf_sniper_geo",1, 4},
            officer = {"cis_inf_sbd",1, 4},
            special = { "cis_inf_officer_geo",1, 4},
        },
     }

    AddUnitClass(CIS,"cis_inf_sbd_heavy",1,2)
    AddUnitClass(CIS,"cis_inf_droideka",1,2)
    AddUnitClass(CIS,"cis_inf_magnaguard",  1,2)
     
    SetHeroClass(CIS, "cis_hero_grievous")
    SetHeroClass(REP, "rep_hero_plokoon")

You add the "AddUnitClass" lines before the "SetHeroClass" lines.

So yours would be something like:

Code Select Expand

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    ReadDataFile("sound\\yav.lvl;yav1cw")
    ReadDataFile("SIDE\\rep.lvl",
                             "rep_inf_ep3_rifleman",
                             "rep_inf_ep3_rocketeer",
                             "rep_inf_ep3_engineer",
                             "rep_inf_ep3_sniper",
                             "rep_inf_ep3_officer",
                             "rep_inf_ep3_jettrooper",
                             "rep_hover_fightertank",
                             "rep_hero_anakin",
                             "rep_hover_barcspeeder")

    ReadDataFile("DC:SIDE\\qwe.lvl",
                        "qwe_inf_rancor",
             "qwe_inf_ep3_rifleman")

    ReadDataFile("SIDE\\cis.lvl",
                             "cis_inf_rifleman",
                             "cis_inf_rocketeer",
                             "cis_inf_engineer",
                             "cis_inf_sniper",
                             "cis_inf_officer",
                             "cis_inf_droideka",
                             "cis_hero_darthmaul",
                             "cis_hover_aat")
                             
                             
    ReadDataFile("SIDE\\tur.lvl",
             "tur_bldg_laser",
             "tur_bldg_tower")         
                             
   SetupTeams{
      rep = {
         team = REP,
         units = 20,
         reinforcements = 150,
         soldier  = { "rep_inf_ep3_rifleman",9, 25},
         assault  = { "rep_inf_ep3_rocketeer",1, 4},
         engineer = { "rep_inf_ep3_engineer",1, 4},
         sniper   = { "rep_inf_ep3_sniper",1, 4},
         officer = {"rep_inf_ep3_officer",1, 4},
         special = { "rep_inf_ep3_jettrooper",1, 4},
           
      },
    }

    AddUnitClass(REP, "qwe_inf_ep3_rifleman",1,4)

SetupTeams{
      cis = {
         team = CIS,
         units = 20,
         reinforcements = 150,
         soldier  = { "cis_inf_rifleman",9, 25},
         assault  = { "cis_inf_rocketeer",1, 4},
         engineer = { "cis_inf_engineer",1, 4},
         sniper   = { "cis_inf_sniper",1, 4},
         officer = {"cis_inf_officer",1, 4},
         special = { "cis_inf_droideka",1, 4},
      }
   }
     
    SetHeroClass(CIS, "cis_hero_darthmaul")
    SetHeroClass(REP, "rep_hero_anakin")
   

That should work.

I tryed your methods guys however it gives me a error in the mungelog.Probably cuz im windows 7.However i fix it.It was just needed to switch this  AddUnitClass(REP, "qwe_inf_ep3_rifleman",1,4)  from under to above this line:

SetHeroClass(CIS, "cis_hero_darthmaul")
    SetHeroClass(REP, "rep_hero_anakin")

I have read how to make it working 20 times but I suck.....And I have this problem.....Why?
Here we have my lua ad my errors:

You may have already fixed the problem by now, but the problem is these two lines:

Code Select Expand

ReadDataFile("SIDE\\rep.lvl"
"rep_inf_ep3_cody" ,1, 4)

It should be:

Code Select Expand

ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\rep.lvl"
"rep_inf_ep3_cody")

Basically, you need to add "dc:" in the "ReadDataFile" line so that it loads your custom rep.lvl and you shouldn't set the maximum/minimum Ai at this line.

If you haven't solved the problem I can tell you something useful in these cases, as someone pointed out before, when you test with AddUnitClass you have to declare it before the Hero line.
