@ merlin: Go to your mission script files in C:\BF2_ModTools\data_ModID\Common\scripts\ModID. Take one of the .lua files in the folder, and open it up. Scroll down till you see something like:
Code: Select all
ReadDataFile("SIDE\\rep.lvl",
"rep_inf_ep3_rifleman",
"rep_inf_ep3_rocketeer",
"........"
ReadDataFile("SIDE\\cis.lvl",
"cis_inf_rifleman",
"cis_inf_rocketeer",
"cis_inf_engineer",
"........"
And replace those two sections with:
Code: Select all
ReadDataFile("SIDE\\all.lvl",
"all_hero_luke_jedi",
"all_hero_hansolo_tat",
"all_hero_leia",
"all_hero_chewbacca")
ReadDataFile("SIDE\\imp.lvl",
"imp_hero_darthvader",
"imp_hero_emperor",
"imp_hero_bobafett")
ReadDataFile("SIDE\\rep.lvl",
"rep_hero_yoda",
"rep_hero_macewindu",
"rep_hero_anakin",
"rep_hero_aalya",
"rep_hero_kiyadimundi",
"rep_hero_obiwan")
ReadDataFile("SIDE\\cis.lvl",
"cis_hero_grievous",
"cis_hero_darthmaul",
"cis_hero_countdooku",
"cis_hero_jangofett")
This is from a section from the Mos Eisley Assault mission script. It tells the game to load each of those character classes when it opens the map. Then scroll down (in the same file) until you see:
Code: Select all
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},
},
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},
}
}
and replace this section with:
Code: Select all
SetupTeams{
hero = {
team = ALL,
units = 32,
reinforcements = -1,
soldier = { "all_hero_hansolo_tat",1,2},
assault = { "all_hero_chewbacca", 1,2},
engineer= { "all_hero_luke_jedi", 1,2},
sniper = { "rep_hero_obiwan", 1,2},
officer = { "rep_hero_yoda", 1,2},
special = { "rep_hero_macewindu", 1,2},
},
}
AddUnitClass(ALL,"all_hero_leia", 1,2)
AddUnitClass(ALL,"rep_hero_aalya", 1,2)
AddUnitClass(ALL,"rep_hero_kiyadimundi",1,2)
SetupTeams{
villain = {
team = IMP,
units = 32,
reinforcements = -1,
soldier = { "imp_hero_bobafett", 1,2},
assault = { "imp_hero_darthvader",1,2},
engineer= { "cis_hero_darthmaul", 1,2},
sniper = { "cis_hero_jangofett", 1,2},
officer = { "cis_hero_grievous", 1,2},
special = { "imp_hero_emperor", 1,2},
},
}
AddUnitClass(IMP, "rep_hero_anakin",1,2)
AddUnitClass(IMP, "cis_hero_countdooku",1,2)
This section tells the game when making the sides, those characters go on those sides (villains/heroes or whatever you want to name them). That segment is also from the Mos Eisley Assault script. If you want to prevent the bots from spawning as any of the characters, simply change the numbers after each character (ie. (IMP, "rep_hero_anakin",[bold]1,2[/bold])) to "0,0" which will set the minimum and maximum number of bots who will spawn as those characters. As for finding out the names of all the heroes in game, they're all right there in the code above
So Count Dooku is "cis_hero_countdooku" and Yoda is "rep_hero_yoda."
As for getting the characters in the normal game maps, I'm not sure. It can probably be done, but I don't know how :\
