Two model bugs

[Jaakko]

Why does this model not show up in world editor? http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/showpost.php?p=380108&postcount=236

Second, the team colour of this model is totally bugged: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/resource.php?t=50657&prev=s=monk&d=list&r=20
How can I remove the team colour totally?

I think it was just skinned red so you'll have to reskin that if you want it a different color.


and the other model should be working fine.

Oh ok thank you I'll take a look.

It does not work for me. I only import the model and it always says can't load file and it gives that green box.

EDIT: Here is the skin, no red part. I would need the team colour off.

Bugged team color on the monk? Werewulf tested and approved that one long ago, I just re-tested it myself and found no instabilities. The Team color itself is very subtle and appears only on the cuffs of the monk's robe. It seems to work for me.

However, the Azrael model didn't work in the game. It looks like a bugged or missing texture file path to me. Elenai is very active: you may consider sending a PM to inquire.

I mean if you look closely to the model in the world editor the colour flickers on the skin like a flash lamp effect, can you see that?

I send him a PM but he said that it worked for the testers. Maybe I send another one.

hmm, is strange; but I can't find the error either; there must be something unsynqued in the model, normally geomergers don't resynq their models after geomerging and so, many different errors occur.

 

[Elenai]

What exactly is the error?

I need screen shots, information, and other such things in order to fully determine the error in inquiry.

The model was tested, and worked during the initial stages of its development, and before I submited it.

If there is an error, as Wolverabid, and yourself have stated, I will gladly see what I can do, when the error is assertained.

Here is the problem:

 

[Elenai]

I am currently testing.

Please stand by for further updates.

UPDATE! I have located the bug, and have begun to eliminate it. Standby for model update:

UPDATE#2! But located, and eliminated. Bug scource: Faulty superspray emmiter: unused medivh texture:

Model update uploaded: And a complimentary avatar for your trouble:

 

[Wolverabid]

The model displays properly in Warcraft III Viewer:



Those are some unusual looking file paths. The model appears invisible in the game: only its shadow appears. Usually that indicates a missing texture file.

[EDIT] Oops, didnt see that you had posted Elenai, best luck!

 

[BlinkBoy]

there 2 of that aren't used btw, you should remove them and resynq the texture ids. Yet, that's not the bug.

 

[Elenai]

Model updated: See above.

Thankyou Blinkboy for your aid, and wolverabid for your help as well.

 

[Jaakko]

Great it works finally but the cape is bugged from this side. It is invisible if behind are doodads.

 

[Elenai]

This is a problem, I cannot solve. Ask one of the modelers who is more experienced with mdl bug removal.

I have no idea why it is doing that. Aside from a texture problem.

 

[BlinkBoy]

Elenai, could you write a short journal of what you exactly did to the model? Anything related to bones, helpers, attachments is apreciated.

 

[Elenai]

It was a long while ago, I dont really remember my process.

But I remember, that I geomerged dummy parts, deleted those parts, then added matrices, and assigned bones, all in VM and geomerger.

 

[BlinkBoy]

did you resynqued the model? [reassignate bones to geosets and geosetanims]

 

[donut3.5]

Sometimes textures will bug and "hide" behind other models if you are using the Blend rendering for the mesh.

[BlinkBoy]

his model has a team color layer in the cape, which isn't blend, so the blend wouldn't have to do with anything.

Maybe the normals need to recalculated.

 

[Elenai]

Recalculated? This is a skill I have not learned. Tell me more.

Magos -> Edit -> Calculate Extents

[Elenai]

Its so simple.....why did I not realize that!

 

[BlinkBoy]

I was talking of Normals(a vertex is made by a point, a normal, a Texturevertex, and a group pointer) actually, I think extents are fine, don't recalculate them, because you'll mess up the extents for the alternate form. Magos only recalculates them according to static geometry.

Normals are used for lighting and darkness on the model. I tried recalculating them with Vertex Modify but, it crashed; so there could be an error in them.

Oh whoops, sorry, I misread.
