HUD mesh doesn't show up

Posted: Thu Jan 04, 2018 3:26 pm
by Raigiku
I've made a mesh for one of my new jedi powers (force cloak) but whenever I switch to it the mesh doesn't appear. I've already tried various rotation, scale and translation values with no success. I even made it be the same size as the default dc15a and gave it the same transform values in the extraweapons.hud and still it wouldn't show up.

Are you sure the mesh's polygons are facing the right direction? I believe they should be facing in the positive Z-axis in XSI. Regardless, try inverting the polygons - select all polygons, then Modify > Poly Mesh > Invert Polygons (or something). Simply rotating the mesh 180 degrees around the Y-axis would also work - as long as you remember to freeze the transforms after doing so! ;)

It didn't work either :( I've tried to changing to 90 degrees in every rotation value in the extraweapons.hud file and it still wouldn't show up. I'v also tried to use the same values that the default force_choke HUD icon had.
