Geonosis Spires without Lowrez

Post by Bantha55 »

Heyho.

So I have started a Geonosis and I used some of Teancums/Pandemics Clone Wars Geonosis assets including this large spire models.
They look very nice and really fit the map but there´s a problem: They have no lowrez. If you fly around with a jedi starfighter this can be very tricky.

I tried various things to give it a lowrez but I wasn´t succesfull.

I made a msh.option for the model and added:

Code: Select all

-lowrez GEO_rockspire_1_lowrez
But that doesn´t work.

I added to the odf:

Code: Select all

LowrezTexture = "GEO_rockspire_1_lowrez"
But that didn´t work either.

Is something wrong with my codes or are there any other ways of giving it a lowrez without XSI?

The only other thing you could try, other than editing the model to add in the lowres, is to change the view distance of your map in the sky file.

Hmmm that would cause laggs or even crashs because there are many units in my map...

Looks like I have to find somebody who wants to edit the models for me.

Does GeometryLowRes = "model_name" not work in the odf?
