Hey guys.........i saw some maps that have XL modus in it.....Teancum explained me everything but my last status is that xl modus loads and i can spawn.........the reinforcement count is 0/350 and bots are spawning......BUT only 16 not 80 how i set in the lua. Can someone please explain why this can be caused? or give a little tutorial? not a deep one only that i know what i made wrong......there is not much to change....in my addme.lua is no mistake because the XL is available in the select screen......it seems that the modidc_xl.lua is wrong but i used one which worked already on another map!

thanks! jawakiller

Remember, when you add units to a side in the lua, you also tell the AI how many min and max units to be that type.

Ex: officer = {"rep_inf_ep3_officer",1, 4},

1 is the min number of bots that will be officers.
4 is the max amount of bots that will be officers.

Dude, like I said before. If XL mode loads at all then it's not the LUA, it's your XL layer in ZeroEdit, or a munge problem. There's probably a problem with [mapname].req or a .mrq problem.

So for others who get this problem, whats the difference between your lua and the lua Darth Derkie sent you?

Typically the lua needs to be set up on a per-map basis. I probably had something set up for my maps that I forgot to fix for Jawa_killer. I'm not sure

Ummm... yeah they are. Check again. There's map-specific entry lines. Specifically the ReadDataFile(dc:side\\"[projectname]"\"[mapname].lvl", "[gametype]");

So what was the difference between Derkie's an my XL luas? I'm curious because he got them from me.
