A very "noob" problem but hey..

[_PV]

like the title states - I have encountered a problem that's really stupid... Although It has been a while since I have delved into the World Editor... Okay - so I found some wicked-sick tree/plant models (hardcore, right?) and want to import them into my map... All's good - I import them - do as the nice read-me says and change the path - but for some bizarre reason - the trees/doodads/props (I've tried making them into each of these... even units!) don't show in the editor... only in-game. Now, I don't have to elaborate on how frustrating it is to try to terrain whilst not being able to see how a doodad looks and instead get's greeted by the notorious chequered-green box of doom X_x any explanation as to how make these models visible in the editor? And no - the fault does not lie with the specific model - all my doodad models do that :/ and no - my pathing it 100% correct...
thanks in advance! Help = cookies ^_^

When you say the models don't show in the editor : it shows a huge green cube ?

 

[deathismyfriend]

Try restarting ur world editor.

 

[Malhorne]

The way of the debugging : REBOOT EVERYTHING x)

 

[_PV]

Of course I have resorted to restarting my editor - but ever still I am plagued by the don of the green little monstrosity that is checkered box...

 

[Malhorne]

I got this whenever i import a model and every time he disappeared after a testing time ...
There might be an option somewhere

 

[_PV]

Attempt to fathom the amount of frustration induced by this small little "problem" >_< IF you find that option please be as kind as to direct me towards it so that I can destroy it with all my wrath?

 

[Malhorne]

If i find the source of the problem i'll tell you (but i don't promise anything xD).

 

[Daffa]

It's either you set the wrong path, or the model itself is broken (it doesn't always break the map, but some models tend to never work :/)

 

[Malhorne]

I though that his modle works ingame ?

 

[Daffa]

Then Model's data is broken somehow, contact the Model Author, maybe they know what to do.

No. A plant. A tree. Ofcourse, it should be variations or lightweight model, texture number or what.

 

[_PV]

It's really odd that NONE of the plant-like doodads I import just tend to not work... That's the most demoralizing part of map making for me - importing shit and it won't work -_-

 

[Malhorne]

Try to import another doodad and you'll see if it's you or and the plant x)

 

[_PV]

I imported a little box doodad and it works fine... then tried to import anything non-plant like and it worked... but as soon as my editor somehow distinguished between plant/non-plant, "Doodad won't work - umad bro?" -_- and to give you an Idea I have tons of plant doodads... ;.;

 

[Malhorne]

I understant ^^'
But i have no idea how to make those plants work ^^

If it is a destructible, try what I said somewhere up there.
