I am making a custom Kashyyyk map, and am trying to get the massive turrets to work. When I playtest, it's on the map, and the AI can get into it, but they can't move or fire with it. Also, when I try to get in, the game crashes. I've copied the whole Diet Dr. Pepper odf and msh cotents of the turret side and pasted them into the world1 folders' odf and msh folders, as well as the reqs. Also of note, the regular laser turrets (like the ones on Kamino) work fine, so I don't know what's missing.

if the game crashes it means that you have not copied the rep_weap_XXXXXXXX.odf! look in the odf for the weapon odf!

I couldn't find a file of that description pretaining to my particular turret. Could you perhaps be more specific - is it in the sides/tur directory, or in the sides/rep directory, or what?

look in both..........look in the odf of the model in the weapon section there is a neam propably : tur_weap_recoilles_laser.odf or anything like that! copy this odf in your odf folder and open the file again and look in it what odf this file calls........propably an ord or exp file..........!

There are some unfinished assets. Be careful of things you have not actually seen in the game. There was a turret or two that behaved oddly for me even after copying all files and adding the to the LUA's.

I know this one works, though, because it's in the Kashyyyk level that came with the game. Also, I found the odfs that go with it, and now that I've put em in, the game crashes before the level even finishes loading! All I want is a functioning turret that is already working in the base game!

oh man i think you should try more than just putting them in the folder and hoping that it works be creative!!

Well, go a little easy on me. This is my first time modding anything, and aside from this whole turret problem, the map is coming along quite nicely, and is turning out better than even I expected (especially considering that I'm learning as I go).
Also, I remember hearing about a tool that lets you see what odfs that object will try to load in game. Does anyone know anything about this?

I'll be damned! I got it to work! Turns out u need to put an open file command in the scripts for that Diet Dr. Pepper turret. Good to know.

paste your script example of the "open file command" please....I'm having similar issues.

ReadDataFile("SIDE\\tur.lvl",
"tur_bldg_laser",
"tur_bldg_tower",
"tur_bldg_recoilless_kas")

Of course, that's for the regular buildable turrets, the Yavin tower turret, and the large turrets seen on Kashyyyk. Some turrets aren't finished, so be careful it's one that's been seen in the base game.

Thanks I got the turret working in my map now, wooo hooo !!!.......you wouldn't be able to tell me why my vehicle spawns work in the Clone era but not in GCW would ya ?

Did you include the vehicle information in the GCW lua script?

Yessir...here's the g_con.lua script...

It is most important that you know how many legs the program thinks the vehicles have. Example: my droid snail tanks were not spawning until I changed the AddWalkerType (1,0) to (1,2), because aparently it's a two - legged walker (probably because it doesn't hover and doesn't have more than one tread). Try playing around with that.
