Hey guys,
I made an artillery (turret) model a while ago in XSI and set it up properly with body and barrel parts and nulls. I edited the tur_bldg_recoilles_kas odf and simply replaced it with my geometry name and switched all the null names to match the ones in the model. I copied over all the neccessary odfs from the tur and common folders and included all neccessary geometries including chunks in data_NOR\Worlds\NOR\msh and odfs in data_NOR\Worlds\NOR\odf. However, when I munged my map it crashed on the startup screen with this one error:

Message Severity: 3
.\Source\EntityGeometry.cpp(619)
Entity "tur_bldg_recoilless_nor" missing geometry "155mmartilleryv2"

It is strange I got this error, because that geometry name along with all related parts are included in the worlds/nor/msh folder. Can anyone think of any possible solution to this problem? And are there other locations I would need to place these files. Btw, I searched for this and didn't find any related scenarios.

Any help is as always greatly appreciated!

If you are positive you have the name in the odf correct and spelled right (been there done that) try renaming your msh file so there aren't numbers first. I think I remember seeing somewhere the engine doesn't really like numbers leading the names of things.

am i dreaming or does it need to go in ABC/sides/tur ?

Nope, a custom turret does not need to go into the ABC\Sides\tur folder.

Hey thanks a bunch Fragme, you were right! Note to everyone: Don't put numbers first in your msh files; It will lead to a crash.
