Need help with model (i'm a newb)

[takakenji]

so, i created my model and stuff and imported it into the world editor and it dosn't work (comes up as a green box), what am i suppose to do to make it work? i'm a nub, sorry :\

i made this model myself btw if i didn't say it clear enough

did you restart the map??

 

[takakenji]

yea, but i hvn't tried it in game (sometimes it works in-game even though its still a green box) i'll do that now.

btw theres no custom textures


edit: still didnt work

Can you post the model here?

 

[takakenji]

i know it's simple, it's for my self use only (didnt intend to upload it)

 

[Deolrin]

Well, it seems that you somehow screwed the model up. The only option I see here is to recreate the model. So, can you tell me please, how did you make it?

 

[takakenji]

all i did was delete the abominations geosets and leave the hook

 

[Deolrin]

Oh. Well, that might be pretty problematic, I suggest you also remove the corresponding geoset animations and materials next time you try. You can do this in Magos.

rather than how you did it try this,convert it to .mdl, open the model in vertex modifyer (found in tools here)
find the geoset that has the hook, delete all dots (verticies), that arnt the hook
then click file, export as geoset..
then it will save it as a .mdl file, of only the hook, stripping all anims, and other geosets, making your file much smaller than 160kb for a hook (although it wont swing or anything), next we have to convert it back from .mdl

 

[Deolrin]

The thing is, I think he wants to have animations on it too.

 

[takakenji]

yeah, thats why the name of the model is "FlyingHook" :/

 

[Deolrin]

There, this should work. Didn't check it in-game though.
