Addon Msh Problem [Solved]

Post by yuke5 »

So, I put the files for an addon msh into my side's msh folder. Now I get the following error.
Hidden/Spoiler:
Message Severity: 3
C:\Battlefront2\main\Battlefront2\Source\AnimatedAddon.cpp(42)
AnimatedAddon: can't find geometry "arc_red_pauldron"
There are no typos as far as I can see. Here is my unit's odf.
Hidden/Spoiler:
[GameObjectClass]
ClassParent = "rep_inf_default_rocketeer"



[Properties]

GeometryName = "rep_inf_ep3trooper"
FirstPerson = "REP\repfelsn;rep_1st_feluciatrooper"

GeometryLowRes = "rep_inf_ep3trooper_low1"

AnimationName = "elite"

AnimatedAddon = "arc_pauldron"
GeometryAddon = "arc_red_pauldron"
AddonAttachJoint = "bone_ribcage"
I am really perplexed. As always, some help would be greatly appreciated.

Is arc_red_pauldron indeed the name of the addon MSH file itself?

Yes. That is why I am so very confused.

So are you getting a crash, or does the addon not show up on the unit? Where did you get this addon MSH from?

I'm getting a crash, I'm sorry for not being more specific. I got it from the following link:

Hmm, try resaving the MSH file. This could just be something stupid with VisualMunge.

Just tried it. Munging now........
Testing.....
Nope. It still crashes. I'm going to re-do everything relating to that msh file.
EDIT:*facepalm* I found out what the problem was. Although I'm pretty embarrassed. I was modding "rep" in assets, not in my map's sides folder. I'm really sorry. :oops: Thank you for taking the time to help me though, if I hadn't started by replacing the msh files I wouldn't have realized my dumb error.

Donno if this will work, but try putting the file into your side folder and side common folder.
EDIT
Glad you fixed it. :wink:
