Mission.lvl side import help

[VulkanMU]

Not sure exactly what I am doing wrong here. After inspecting geo3's Mission.lvl file from Execution at Geonosis mod in a hex editor, I made a similar looking command in my mods Mission.lvl. However it crashes a soon as I try to play the map. The map works if I remove the dc: rep side call. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? Obviously I am not doing something the engine is expecting.

That is often a mis-named or mis-located file name for your map or your side.  You should check them.  You are reading in two rep.lvl files.

[VulkanMU]

Can you read from two separate side files that have the same name? Or is that an engine limit?

[Led]

Hard to know if it is a limit, but it is easy to find out with a stock map or just try stock sides with the map.

[VulkanMU]

I figured out what I needed. There are conflicts if you try to read any items that have the same side name and same side prefix. Example rep_inf_macewindu. Calling this class twice from two separate rep.lvl files will cause the second one to have certain graphics overwritten by the first or just not work at all. I've learn quite a bit about side.lvl and mission.lvl files over the past week. I'm thinking of putting together a tutorial on how to create a new side and add it into a shipped map as a 4th local side.

Thanks for the follow-up!
