Hello everyone. So, I was making a vent model and I came up with an error: my model isn't showing up.
This is the model, it is a ventilation conduct:



The .mat file has the same name of the model, and it's in the same folder. Also, the textures are inside the folder (static_objects/otherworld/vents/)

Any idea?

Open the .ent file and look for: <Mesh Filename="">.
Enter your directory like this: <Mesh Filename="entities/equipment/broom/broom.dae"> and it should show up.

No, there isn't any .ent. Is the same .dae.

Is the material a different name than the diffuse? The .mat has to be the same name as the diffuse, not exactly the model/.dae

Hm.. have you tried this? It fixed it for me:

- Open model in Maya (or whatever you're using)
- apply texture in that programm (applying only the diffuse will be enough)
- save scene and export the .dae again from that scene
- import .dae into model editor again
(- if it is visible now, apply your .mat so you also have normal map and spec map)

I'll see what you've said, Hirnwirbel. Statyk's tip didn't work.

You could open the .dae in Notepad and search (ctrl+F) for "library_images". look for the directory of the diffuse and make sure it matches the one located in the model's folder. Things like these are usually broken directories.

Okay, now it's working. Thanks everyone!

I know you have it working now, but as a quick tip: When ever you import an object and later make modifications to the object for re-importing, be sure to delete any MSH files and close the HPL2 model editor before importing.

Ok, I will keep that in mind.
