My model isn't showing up - The chaser - 10-07-2012 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? RE: My model isn't showing up - Ongka - 10-07-2012 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. RE: My model isn't showing up - The chaser - 10-07-2012 No, there isn't any .ent. Is the same .dae. RE: My model isn't showing up - Statyk - 10-07-2012 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 RE: My model isn't showing up - xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - 10-07-2012 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) RE: My model isn't showing up - The chaser - 10-07-2012 I'll see what you've said, Hirnwirbel. Statyk's tip didn't work. RE: My model isn't showing up - Statyk - 10-07-2012 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. RE: My model isn't showing up - The chaser - 10-07-2012 Okay, now it's working. Thanks everyone! RE: My model isn't showing up - Your Computer - 10-07-2012 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. RE: My model isn't showing up - The chaser - 10-07-2012 Ok, I will keep that in mind.
