Imperial Side Mod problem

[tehShocktroopa]

So I've made an imperial side mod and gave the shock trooper the rebel soldier's blaster rifle, the odd thing is, the blaster rifle itself is not showing up in the "Imperial Diplomacy", "Tying Up Loose Ends" and "Preventative measures" campaign missions, why is that? and how can I fix it?

[ARCTroopaNate]

If you're loading the blaster rifle from the rebel side, it won't show up on those missions because the rebel soldier isn't loaded in these missions. You need to either add the rebel blaster rifle to the imperial side (it's odf and msh files) or call for the rebel soldier in the lua's for those missions.

Where can I find the .lua files for those missions?

[ARCTroopaNate]

modtools/assets/scripts, the campaign scripts are the one with the "_c" suffix.

How would I be able to call the Rebel Soldier? what do I need to edit?

[ARCTroopaNate]

something like

ReadDataFile...all.lvl...
“all_inf_rifleman_jungle”)

For the top line copy one from one of the other sides and change it from whatever that three letter abbreviation is to “all” (no quotations)

since I've edited that file do I have to copy that to my created data_ABC world folder?

You will need to do this if you're editing mission scripts.

I understand the localization stuff and how it works and all, but how do I make an edited name appear on all stock maps? I mean I replaced the Dark Trooper, and changed the name to shadow trooper via localization, but it only appears in the munged mod how do I make the name "Shadow Trooper" appear on all stock maps?

not sure if this is what you mean/need.

you will need to copy all of the maps' lua files (dag1g_con, end1g_con, kas2g_con etc) to your bf2modtools/data_abc/common/scripts/abc folder, then add them to your mission req (bfsmodtools/data_abc/common)

be sure to change the info in all mission scripts the same way you did in your own map's mission script. (dc:side)
