I was following feirfek's modding guide and I placed some endor leaftrees but in zero editor they look like dead trees without any leaves and in the game they look like trees with bluish-black squares on them. How can I fix this?

I don't know - I think the assets for the leaves on the trees weren't put in the assets. I have the same problem. Also I cannot get yavin waterfall in either.

False.

Please don't just guess at things when you're trying to help other people. Trees (usually) use an attached "leafpatch" odf, which also references a texture. You're going to end up with needing two distinct .odfs, probably two meshes (although the leafpatch mesh isn't really relevant insofar as the tree appearing correctly is concerned) and all the textures related to both the tree and the leafpatch.

but i copied all of the mshs and tgas and odfs and effects from YAV and END and it still did not make my waterfall work, same with the leaftrees.

thanks mav... lol I'm talkin to the maveritchell lol your like famous xD your maps pwn.
I guess I'll just use diff trees then lol.
Also, I have another problem. Whenever I try to place a building, zeroeditor crashes. Only odf's with prop in their name can be placed without crashing. Why is that?

You don't need to use different trees, the ones you're trying to use will work fine as long as you place the correct files in.

And what buildings are you trying to place that cause ZE to "crash?"

uhh alot of tatooine file with tat2_bldg at the start of its name doesn't work.... I think it's the same for mygeeto and any buildings from endor dont work

same here, except ZE doesn't crash, they don't appear ingame.

yeah they dont appear and when you click to place ZE crashes

Look for the file called end_prop_leafpatch.odf in your world's ODF folder. Copy and paste the following over whatever information is currently in the file.

yay it worked thanks

AQT, could you PM/post the yavin waterfall one too? Please? Thanks.

I don't see anything wrong with the Yavin waterfall .odf, are you sure you have all the necessary effects it calls for in your world's Effects folder?

wait - it's not the effects - it's the texture i'm missing. I took a xfire pic - gimme a sec and ill post the link
here it is

If you've already copied all the mshs and tgas, that model might use a yav_main texture from Yavin's world1 and world2 folders.

i already have all the mains in my world1 folder and my msh folder.

Open up the msh for the object in a hex editor or notepad and do an edit->find for tga. Make sure you have all of those tgas.

how do I edit->find?
EDIT2: Can I post it? This is what it looks like -

Drop-down Edit menu from the top of the program. Usually right next to the File menu.

it said
Did not find any matches for "yav_prop_waterfall"
Do I need to change this from tat1_prop_waterfall_tom3 to yav_prop_waterfall_tom3?
