So I made a model. I mshex'd it and sent it to da_great_ghost to map (in case you didn't knoow, my mod tools don't work) We played it online and, well, it was sweet. But there was a single porblem. I had made the bridge accessible. I went into the access tunnel. I get to the very top, and then there's invisible collision. You should be able to enter the room, and yet, every time I try to, I hit something. And I know it wasn't the map ceiling-if it was, then shots would go through it. there's nothing there in XSI, no hidden polies or anything. All transforms were frozen (I had just merged he two objects) and I had checked/unchecked the right things when exporting. I can't tell what the problem is!
EDIT: Ghost just showed me this a pic of it in ZE, the reason there are 2 hangar forcefields is because one isn't big enough for the hangar.

collision can be very tricky
im not shure if you can export collision propperly with meshex
if you can, try making a msh.option file with -donotmergecollision in it for it

well, I know that you can't export collision geometry with mshex at all... There was none.

then you cant get the collision corretcly without the pandemic exporter
and even with it sometimes the collision is bad (i once build a colision only out of boxes and battlefornt didnt accept it..)

Well, I'm giving the msh.option file a try, just to see if it works. If it doesn't, then I'm gonna need someone to export for me...

yea do that. and you really dont have to make a collision geo. in xsi even, when you munge it visual munge works its magic and makes the object have collision. you really cant tell something doesnt have collision just by looking at it in ZE.

his point wa that the collision wasnt working INGAME and that means visualmunges collision doesnt work=>he has to export a collision with pandemics exporter

Ok, here's a pic of the glitch. Where the explosion is, obviously. If I throw a grenade there, it sticks, which it doesn't do to the rest of the model:

Make sure you clean it and munge it if you do that, you shouldn't have invisible walls if you use donotmergecollision. Lack of collision, however, may arise from that.

It's fixed now, so this can be locked.
