Let's talk sides...

[Teancum]

Alright, I feel like a dork. Usually I have no problems with BF modding, but I'm not sure how to create a new side that will munge properly. I know how to set up the reqs and all. I've done that 1000 times. But, without BFBuilderPro, I am having trouble figuring out the best way to create a new side.

Options?

*edit* -- I think I figured it out... I'll report back.

hey! i have the same problem........i tried it the same way like in swbf1 but it creates no ***.lvl........tell me the solution as soon you found out pls

I've succeeded, and here's what I did:

Please note: I have only tried sides with three letters, like the map files, I suggest you do the same

1-Used my pre-created side from a previous map -- placed it in DataMapname[/yellow]/Sides
2-Navigated to DataMapname[/yellow]/BUILD/Sides, created a new folder with the same name as my side folder.
3-Copied munge.bat and clean.bat from another subfolder there, and placed them in my new folder I created
4-Opened munge.bat in Notepad and changed the original name of the folder to my new name
-----EXAMPLE:
@call ..\munge_side.bat GAM %1

to

@call ..\munge_side.bat FL1 %1

5-From there I called it in the LUAs like normal, and it worked.
