A litle help needed with 'empty pilots'... ESUSER_M.odf

[DarkFox_uscm]

I'm trying to get a hadean rec variant working on default strat games. I've got everything working perfectly, have got round all the issues that were coming up, except this *one* problem that I can't figure out.

When a player dies in a strat game, the game looks at *SUSER_M.odf (where * is the player's race) to spawn a new pilot for them without a sniper rifle.
For hadeans, this file would be ESUSER_M.odf. Without this file, the game boots a player if his starting pilot dies. With this file, things work fine, but I get bad assets....
I can't figure out why this file is giving bad assets - anyone got any advice?

No-one has this file that you have made or edited, you'll need to get it out there if you want to play multiplayer without having bad assets.

i bet other people would say the same thing

If you're making the Hadeans as an ISDF or Scion variant, don't. It won't work right.

If you're making a variant OF hadeans, then no idea what's up.

He isn't a noob modder CM...

[Lizard]

which patch version are you trying to do this in ?


if it's 1.2 then you're going to have all sorts of problems because the stock game was never intended to have more than 2 pilot types, in FE we had to use an exploit to get the hadean pilot working everything was based on error.odf ( thus the E prefix for all the hadean stuff instead of H), and we had all sorts of random issues with doing things that way, for instance we couldn't get the walker working properly unless we renamed it ivewalk.

As stated on BZU, I tried to do something similar to ZE mod, but I found that anytime you add a *spilo or *spilo_m that is not unmodded stock i/f, then it gives you bad assets. Atleast in 1.3.

Either make it a seperate mod, or add this to all you're vehicles: pilotConfig = "ispilo"
