Importing new characters - Sauron The King - 02-18-2012
Hello,
I'm making a new big Custom Story for Amnesia.
I have already made a new model with a program called Zbrush.
Now the model looks like this:
[attachment=2588]
Now I can export it as a Dae file, but when I load it into the Model Editor (HPL) from Amnesia, it is invisible. How can I make it load into the Model Editor and make it look like the same as it is in Zbrush?
Then I want to make it a sort of enemy, but I will start that after I've finally loaded it into the editor.
Grtz,
Brian

Have you made a folder for the model?
- Make a folder in entities for your model, then place the texture in there.
- Open the model in the 3D program, apply the texture again, then export to the folder you made earlier.
- Make the texture and .dae have the SAME EXACT name.
- Open in ModelView and the .mat should be generated automatically and should have the exact same name as the .dae.
Hope this works/helps you out!

Thank you Statyk
Now I have another problem.
I've loaded it inside the Model editor and Model view. You can see my model good at both the programs. When I load it inside the level editor, you can still see it correctly. When I start the game and want to see it ingame, it won't be there at all.
How can I make him appear ingame?

Sounds like it's not being directed through the resources.cfg. Where did you put this model's folder?
RE: Importing new characters - Your Computer - 02-19-2012
The game doesn't rely on the resources.cfg for custom story resources. Sounds more of a .map_cache issue; if not, then the entity was constructed wrong.

By deleting those files.
