Side Modification Issues [Solved]

[BarbylBapkins]

I recently came back to Battlefront 2 modding after a break, and I’ve been running into an issue where changes I make in my world’s sides folder don’t show up in-game. The edits I make to the odfs are saved, but when I load up my world in BF2, nothing actually changes. I’ve had it happen with 5 worlds so far, and I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled Mod Tools and BF2 twice, but the issue has persisted. When munging everything for my current world, the log only lists the same 1 error: “ERROR[levelpack shell.req]:Input file shell.req does not exist. [continuing,]” 1 warning, and the audio errors that I was getting back when I first started modding. I’ve found that map changes using ZeroEditor and localization changes made through editlocalize.bat do go through, and downloading others' mods works fine (1.3 patch and Visually Improved Sides Mod at least.) I figure the lack of errors and the fact that I wasn’t having this issue when I started modding early last year probably means I’m making a pretty big and obvious mistake, but I’m just not sure what. Any input is appreciated.

Try doing a manual clean, if that doesn't work make sure you're editing all the parts of your scripts too, that messed me up a few time.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

Alright, so I figured out what the problem was a couple months ago. It was due to an extremely important step in the side modification process that I had somehow forgotten about: putting "dc:" in front of the side names in my ABC luas.
