Custom Model Crashing Game/Editors - Viper85626 - 09-24-2014

Hey guys! So recently in another thread, I talked about making my own custom version of the Penumbra monster with a retexture and some particles. It all works and looks great in the Level Editor and Model Editor, but the main thing I have a problem with is that the model crashes when I try to load up the .ent for it in ModelView, it crashes when I try to play animations in Model Editor, and crashes when I try to start the map. I'm assuming it has something to do with the .ent itself.

When I load the regular infected character from White Night into the Model Editor, it has animations, but no texture. I assume that's fine. But after I changed the texture and made a new .ent from Model Editor, the problems start. Anyone have a clue to what's going on?

Error when map loads:

Spoiler below!

hpl.log:

Spoiler below!

I want to assume that it has something to do with the "LFoot_End" part at the very end of the hpl.log...

Would love some help on this one!

So I'm assuming that you have the *.dae, *.mat, *.ent and the associated texture maps along with it?

The *.mat file will be the one you need to change for the textures.

(If you already have the *.ent file, their is no need to generate a new one)

That's not the problem. The texture is already changed. It shows up properly. The error according to the log is one of the bones in the model, which doesn't really make sense since I didn't touch the bones :/

For the original model, the one that you pulled from White Night or wherever you got it from.

Does it work perfectly fine? (Except for the missing texture) Can you place it in the Level Editor and run it in the game without any crashes?

If so, all you need to do is modify the *.mat file. I don't see a reason to to create a new *.ent file.

But then the particles I've added onto the model won't be carried over... Correct?

EDIT: I forgot to mention the particles and stuff, unlike the previous thread. But even if I remove them, game still crashes.

RE: Custom Model Crashing Game/Editors - Rapture - 09-26-2014

You will lose the particles.

But let's just get it to a working state. (Your particles should not be such a big deal to re-create since you should already have one you can work off of. So it will be just a lot of copying X/Y/Z coordinates.)

Can you get a clean working copy, that will not crash the Editor or Game but at the worst be missing it's texture?
If you can get to that state, you should be able to ONLY modify the *.mat file, without deleting/generating a new *.ent file, and you should be set to go.

Will update you sometime tonight. I'm actually finishing up a tool I'm making for the dev community for Amnesia Smile

*bump*

Thanks for the help Rapture! I got it working properly now. With the particles and stuff too Smile
