So after working on my map for a good five months I've finally run into a problem I can't get around. For whatever reason, whenever I load stock vehicles but with edited odfs through a custom side (the ClassParent trick) the collision is absent from these models.
Screenshot:

Here's how I'm loading them through the lua:

Code: Select all

    ReadDataFile("SIDE\\rep.lvl",
		"rep_fly_assault_dome",
		"rep_fly_anakinstarfighter_sc",
		"rep_fly_arc170fighter_sc",
		"rep_fly_gunship_sc",
		"rep_fly_vwing",
		"rep_hover_fightertank",
		"rep_hover_barcspeeder",
		"rep_inf_ep2_rifleman",
		"rep_inf_ep2_rocketeer",
		"rep_inf_ep2_engineer",
		"rep_inf_ep2_sniper",
		"rep_inf_ep3_officer",
		"rep_inf_ep2_jettrooper")

    ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\rep.lvl",
	"rep_fly_anakinstarfighter_scN",
        "rep_fly_arc170fighter_scN",
	"rep_fly_arc170fighter_dome",
        "rep_fly_assault_domeN",
        "rep_fly_gunship_scN",
        "rep_fly_gunship",
        "rep_fly_vwingN",   
	"rep_hero_ahsoka",
        "rep_hero_anakin_cloakedHD",
	"all_hover_hovernaut",
	"rep_inf_ep2_engineerN",
        "rep_inf_ep2_jettrooperN",
        "rep_inf_ep2_jettrooper_sniperN",
        "rep_inf_ep2_officerN",
	"rep_inf_ep2_riflemanN",
        "rep_inf_ep2_rocketeerN",
	"rep_inf_commando")

I've manually cleaned and munged numerous times to no avail.
Maybe this error message will provide insight?

Code: Select all

Message Severity: 2
C:\Battlefront2\main\Battlefront2\Source\CollisionMesh.cpp(550)
Duplicate collision mesh name exists in another level file: d6b3a2f1

It's the only possibly related error message I can find. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Could you please post the edited ODF here so we can take a look at it?

I can't remember if that particular flyer parent ODF has them or not and I don't have the ODFs on-hand since I'm still at work, but IIRC, if a flyer ODF has any references to these parameters in it:

Code: Select all

TargetableCollision
TerrainCollision
BuildingCollision
VehicleCollision
SoldierCollision
OrdnanceCollision

They need to be included in any child ODFs as well.

Does that make sense?

Posted: **Fri Dec 08, 2017 9:32 pm**

Ok, so I looked through the stock odf and can't find any of those lines. I'd simply load the stock vehicle (which works fine) but then I'd lose the health and shield parameters that I worked on for a day or two to balance.

If I were to load all of its assets in my side it would work, but would come at the cost of file size. All the vehicles that are loaded like this lack collision, but ones that are 100% stock or 100% loaded in the custom side work fine. Also wanted to note that this even happens when I load the droideka using the ClassParent method, but not any other troops. Is this because droidekas are treated as vehicles/walkers?

Have you tried including the MSH and not its textures?

Honestly it's hard to say, but I wouldn't put it past it.

Posted: **Fri Dec 08, 2017 10:38 pm**

I'm going to try to just include the msh. Might have to bite the bullet and just include them all in the custom side. Weird that this only affects vehicles tho. I'll update with the results.

EDIT

That worked! I'm going to go ahead and call it solved since I think that's as good as it's going to get.
Thanks so much Marth!

I never would have thought of that. Thanks again for your help!
