Vehicle Spawn/Texture Problems

Exclamation · Post by **Exclamation** » Sun Jan 08, 2006 6:56 pm

I am working on a vehicle to release here in the mod tools section (if it gets accepted). No new mesh or anything, just a reskin and new weapons layout. It is basically done, I think, but that's the problem... I can't tell because it won't spawn! :evil:

The only error that SPTest mentions is:

Code: Select all

Message Severity: 2
D:\src\FRONTLINE_PC\FrontLine\Source\VehicleSpawn.cpp(126)
Vehicle spawn outside command post "CP2" control region

I have been able to get shipped vehicles to spawn, even a X-Wing and Snowspeeder in the same map, but using the same stuff for a custom SIDES's vehicle (Bandu's Sith Speeder, or my upcoming vehicle) and I'm out of luck.

You have have vehicles outside the control box. Post your whole BF.log. Also, check to make sure you fill in the all values of the vehicle by hitting the page down button on the right side of ZeroEdit.

Page Down, huh...

Yeah, there are all of the slots for vehicle's to spawn for teams on defence. And that did the trick. Thanks!

Just a little tweaking of the vehicle's laser color and finishing the texture, and it will be good to go! Don't ask about it in this thread... be patient, you'll know soon enough and don't get your hopes up.

Well... one last issue with the vehicle. I am including two versions of the vehicle in the side: one with the new skin and lasers, and another with the same skin and lasers as the shipped vehicle, but with the added weapon.

The normal version gets to use the texture that it's mesh calls for, but for the other one, I did a texture override in it's ODF.

Code: Select all

OverrideTexture			= "jab_fly_tiefighter"

This has worked before for me (with units), but not now... help?

OverrideTexture is actually part of the msh file. Not all mshs have it, just ones that needed it. If you open up a msh in BConstructor and can't find OverrideTexture anywhere, you're out of luck -- unless you want to hex edit.

I think it'd be easier to find textures associated to a mesh through hex-editing... For that, just open your custom vehicle's *.MSH file(s) into an hexa-decimal editor, and look for ".tga" entries. Next, you'll just have to replace all those occurencies with the name of the texture you'd like to use on this model...
