First Person model not showing up

Post by giftheck »

I've created a custom FPS model for a unit. Here is a screen of that FPS model:

However, it does not show up when I put it in the game. I have it set up to load the FPS model under the following line:

Code: Select all

"IMP\fostrp;fo_1st_stormtrooper"
The FPS LVL file is definitely named correctly and is definitly in my 'FPS/IMP' folder.

What happens is that the model comes up 'blank' or not loaded. There's no error log for this either (I'm using SPTest for SWBF1, but the principle would apply to BF2 as well)

Have you tried to add the fpm directly to the unit's req file??
Hidden/Spoiler:
[code]
ucft
{
REQN
{
"class"
"mdo_inf_assassin"
}

REQN
{
"model"
"mdo_1st_assassin"
}
}

[/code]

[code]FirstPerson = "mdo\mdo_inf_assassin;mdo_1st_assassin"[/code]
or in the side's req file:
Hidden/Spoiler:
[code]
ucft
{
REQN
{
"lvl"
"rep_inf_commando_01_rifleman"
"rep_inf_commando_02_roketeer"
"rep_inf_commando_03_sniper"
"rep_inf_commando_04_engineer"
"rep_inf_commando_05_electronic"
"rep_inf_commando_06_sergeant"
"rep_inf_commando_07_havoc"
"rep_inf_commando_08_elite"
"rep_inf_commando_09_pilot"
"rep_inf_commando_10_airborn"


}

REQN
{
"model"
"rep_1st_commando"
"rep_hide_weap"
"rep_bldg_eweb_1stperson"
"rep_1st_rifleman"
}

}
[/code]

[code]FirstPerson = "rep\rep;rep_1st_commando"[/code]

No, because I did not think they were supposed to go there.

It is the only way I know. It is somewhere in the faq, too.

Sereja told me that I needed to have "Export Animation" checked in ZETools when I export my FPS model. Going to see if that is indeed the case.
