Objects Not Appearing

Smithy · Post by **Smithy** » Mon Nov 27, 2006 4:34 pm

I try to place tantive objects (halls, doors) in my map and they do not appear when I play my level. I copied the msh. and odf. files to their proper folders under my map's Common folder; these objects are the only thing I have placed in the map. Any reason why they may not be showing up?

you place them in your map's ABC folder next to world1 not in your common folder

Bugger, that's a great reason, I'll try that now thanks.
EDIT: Erm, I don't see any folder next to my world1, should I creat one?

Where do I put the copy? Just next to my world1, not in any folder next to my world1?

Ok, thanks so much, this was driving me nuts.

EDIT: I loaded the map and it crashed lol. I placed the msh. and odf. files next to world1, don't know why this would happen.

did you place the objects in the ZE?

Smithy · Post by **Smithy** » Mon Nov 27, 2006 5:06 pm

By browsing to them from the object menu? Yes.

I don't know then

You need to put the files in folders called "odf" and "msh" here:

Of course, PGM should be whatever your map is called.

I believe he already did that.

@Elmo: No errors when munged.

I'll try putting them there, thanks.

Oh. You said the map was crashing? In the BF2_modtools folder you should find an exe called BF2Modtools.exe. Move it to your Battlefront II/Gamedata directory (inside the game itself) and run it. Let your map crash, and open the Bfront2.log file. Post any messages marked "Severity 3" here.

Is the mod tools exe the helmet icon? And I place into the gamedata folder? Sorry, I'm confused a lil.
