Modifying LUA file to increase unit cap past 32?

Post by Saintb0ss »

I really want to have like a 300 unit battle in Battlefront 2. I've seen people say that they've changed the LUA file to increase unit cap. I found the LUA file where you can change this, but after launching Battlefront 2, none of the changes I made are working.

I know there is this mod that allows you to use the Fake Console where you can change the unit cap. But changing it there doesn't do anything either. I also know about the XL mode.

Anyone successfully increased the unit cap past 32? Thanks!

Alright. Added the Uber command line, ran the Munge.bat, but still nothing changed. How can I be doing something wrong?

I'm reasonably certain that SetUberMode(1) should be under ScriptInit(), not ScriptPostLoad(). You should also increase the MemoryPools. Check the log for which ones need to be increased.

Also, you don't actually need the semi-colon.

The location of the line is fine. Just make sure your .lua file is actually getting munged (check the time and date of the mission.lvl). Also, 500 units per side might be too excessive.

Alright new problem. When munging I keep getting the error that the command is not recognized. Tried the mungefix, but that didn't change anything.

Edit: by munging I mean using the munge.bat. The map works fine, but the properties I set are not updating/working.
