The tat_marketplace.msh is only 2KB so you did something wrong there. Make sure you followed rep's Meshex export instructions from XSI before you convert it to msh.

Also, you're textures are in .jpg. They have to be in tga for it to work ingame. I'll try and see if I can get it exported correctly for you.

Thanks for the advice, I'll recheck everything (again...)
Could you point me to a good .jpg. to .tga converter? I've been trying to find one for a long time.

Paint, GIMP, PSP, PS, Photofiltre, basically any graphics program out there...

Do you have GIMP? Just open up your .jpg image and save it as a .tga.

Edit: Was a bit slow.

Y'know, for you're first models and using Sketchup, I think they're pretty dang good. I could never figure out modeling.

Well here we go.





Obviously some texturing and scaling issues.

When I was munging, I got this error.

ERROR[PC_texturemunge MSH\Material.tga]:TextureMunge(material:42x271x1): Must have power of two dimensions!
ERROR[PC_texturemunge MSH\Material.tga]:TextureMunge(material:42x271x1): Must have power of two dimensions!

Obviously, I failed to check to make sure that that tga had a power of 2 dimensions. You should fix that and reapply the texture.

But the rest of the textures didn't show up either. I might have failed to reassign the tgas. Unfortunately, I didn't know where they were supposed to go

Awesome models !
I look forward to using these items on the maps!

Otherwise, good luck for the conversion because I having made Sketchup models, I can not convert in msh!

Seems like I've got quite a bit of work left in front of me... But I am happy that it's at least ingame, just to have at least something of a result.

Thanks for testing! Could you maybe make another screenshot of a character directly next to it and another inside the "plaza", so I can see how much I'll have to scale it up/down.
I'll put up an improved model tomorrow, or maybe in 2 days, since I've got some big tests ahead of me right now.

mswf, since your doing a sketchup pack, you might wanna check out my tutorial on hardpoints:

Just read my second post.

That's what'll happen when I ad the texture; this is my reference:

It seems you didn't understand what I said. I suggest that you remove the triangles from the model and put cloth it their place, not just texture the cloth on, use actual cloth, like a cape.

Here, I zipped up the tgas and the model along with an ODF. I'm leaving for Europe soon so you're best off with someone else testing for you. Sorry

Moved to 3D Modeling. Not a map or mod WiP at the moment. Feel free to continue the discussion.

Ok, thanks to all! Excuse me if I mistakingly placed it in the WIP topic.

Thanks trainmaster, have a nice trip (through my continent!), and I'm glad for what you did to help.

And Frisbeetarian, just after I read your first post, I found out what you really meant, about adding actual cloth. I'll do that before releasing, but right now I have to figure out how to scale and move and flip objects in Modtools. After that, I'll indulge myself in a little bit more advanced stuff.

Cool! It's always good to expand your knowledge. Lookin' good.

im impressed, would love to play these on any maps, im curious how many different swg styles houses you could incorporate into the game i.e small tat house, large tat house, bunkers etc..

In the future, you can just use media-covert.com it's an online media converter, you upload a file and it give's you a wide selection of outputs. It works on many other things too, like music and videos. The only download required is the file after it's been converted.

These props look great!
I was wondering if they are going to be released soon??!!
(I'm hoping to use them in a up coming desert map)

I hope to release them in a week, if everything goes right.

Now, after messing around with options for a bit, I've come to the conclusion that the following file should work. (pleasehopleaseohplease)
Tatooine Marketplace
It's the model Trainmaster tested earlier, but with (if everything went alright) fixed textures.
It contains:
-the .msh
-a fixed .odf
-renamed textures in .tga format (as in "tat_mark_one" etc.)

Could someone please be kind enough to test this out?

I tried to place the building in ZE but it stopped responding. I did notice that one of the textures (tat_mark_three) was 42 by 271.

EDIT: It also doesn't show up in MSH viewer.

Oh, that's right. Stupid me, you needed a power of two! I'll fix that tomorrow, right now it's 12 o'clock over here...

Your msh file is also corrupt, you did something wrong when exporting it.
