Broken model in resource section

[Zordrak]

I have recently downloaded the 'Bronze Dragon helm' model from the model resource section. And it always causes a crash when it's used in the editor. Possibly this model doesn't work since patch 1.30? But other models from the creator work properly in the editor. Or is possibly the portrait model also required for this model? Here is the link for the model:

I've tested the model on patch 1.30.4 and it works perfectly fine for me. It doesn't seem to be anything wrong in it.

I will test the model now in another map, together with the portrait. I will reply then again about the result.

Did you import the portrait model too? It doesn't work in any map, it always causes an error when i select it as doodad in the editor. I use patch 1.30.1. Is that patch possibly the reason?

Yes. Update to 1.30.4...

Yes. Update to 1.30.4...

Now I'm curious about it... How different do patches behave to crash or not crash the game while using the same model?

Does the model work in your editor when you use it as doodad?

Crashing here too. If you check the model with Sanity Test | HIVE you'll get a lot of 'Vertex X: Attached to generic object "Box1" which is not a bone' lines which as a noob I can only guess are the cause of this issue.

1.30.4 fixed a lot of crashes.

Yes, I imported both the model and the portrait but as a unit. However, since you're using it as a doodad then that's likely why it crashes. I've just re-tested it as a doodad this time and It crashed for me as well. I don't know why that's happening but as a suggestion, since this a doodad, you could leave it as a unit and then give it the Locust ability so that it can't be selected in-game?

That's a good solution, thanks! I will use the model like that.
