Model Problem

Post by **Gogie** » Thu May 11, 2006 5:11 pm

Ok, so I loaded my model, created and odf and exported it into an msh. When I load it into the zone editor my model shows up, but when I try to play battlefront my model doesnt show up, and I have followed most oof the directions.

In the little selection window on the right - right below the button that says 'Sample', add a 'B:' before the selection name.
So, if your object selected is named cube make it say B:cube
That will branch select your object.

As for the odf, make sure it has the bare essentials (the cube references would be your msh names):

Code: Select all

[GameObjectClass]		

ClassLabel		=	"prop"
GeometryName	=	"cube.msh"


[Properties]		

GeometryName	=	"cube"

Also make sure your odf is in the 'odf' folder in your world's folder
BF2_ModTools\data_XXX\Worlds\XXX\world1\odf
and the msh is in the msh folder
BF2_ModTools\data_XXX\Worlds\XXX\world1\msh

And, when placing in ZeroEditor, make sure you're placing the ODF, and not the MSH

Ok well ummm its not a matter of having it in the zero editor, in the zeroeditor i can see my object perfectly, but umm it doesnt appear in the game itself

Yeah, you can see both msh AND odf in ZE. But what's in ZE isn't necessarily what shows up in the game. When browsing for an object to place, you must select and place the ODF for the object to show up in the game. If you just place a msh, it will show up in ZE, but NOT in the game.

Did you merge all your objects together? This sounds like you didn't.
