Problem with my model tank - Please help !!

[Αplion 1122]

I've made a Leo2A6 MBT and it seems to be ok into O2.

My problem is that so far when I've imported into game I was unable to see the model (it is selectable as a unit).

Then I put the MBT grouped with a soldier unit and I found that my model actually is placed far away to the sky !!

Here is an image ... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v648/aplion/ArmA2OA2012-08-0614-35-01-63.jpg

I don't think that this is model.cfg or config.cpp problem as when I'm stating another p3d to my config model line (from my older projects), its working fine.

So something must be wrong with my p3d ... note that the MBT consists by 12375 points - 12561 faces and 14 sections. There is no problem when view it through O2 Buldozer.

Have also my model.cfg and config.cpp just in case you want to have a look.

Well ... problem solved placing the autoCenter=0 at Geometry LOD properties ...

Well ... problem solved placing the autoCenter=0 at Geometry LOD properties ...

Well that "flying tank" problem solved as I said, but now I'm facing another major issue ... my tank geometry seems to work fine only when a vehicle or man try to pass through it but when I'm using the vehicle seems to have no geometry as there is no collision with any object on its way (static or not).

Any thoughts will be much appreciated.

Here is the screenshot mate ... http://prntscr.com/dfi8a

I've made everything regarding Structure->Topology->Find Components and I've tried also Structure->Convexity->Component Convex Hull ... same results ...

[Sealife 22]

Make sure all components have mass

Check by clicking individually oh and I think damage engine is ofp days , not quite sure what modern equivalent is ,if there's a need at all , I think simulation damage type covers it in cpp these days

I did that already mate ...

Just a thought ... when I was imported the model from 3ds max as a 3ds file ... during import (by my mistake) I was set the Master Scale to 1 : 1000 instead of 1 : 1 and after that I was scaled up in O2 the model to the appropriate size. Note that by that mistake I made, every time I'm trying to use Structure->Center All ... the model is just disappearing from the scene and I can't find it (I'm forcing to use "undo"). On the other side when I'm trying to import the model as OBJ there is no problem with Structure->Center All and the model seats in the center of the scene.

Do you think that this has something to do with my problems (first was a "flying tank" and now the geometry issue) ?

[[aps]gnat 28]

Imported models CAN have problems. Suggest export to Universal BIStudio TXT, then Import again.

I just did that without success ... still my model have the same geometry problem ...

[Sealife 22]

Hmm if it disappears when structure all you may have imported some rogue verts somewhere

Copy the main tank into an edit lod , go back to original lod , delete the main tank and then find components see if there is something somewhere making it broken.

You could also try in game to get bounding box return and see if it makes sense for size of tank. Also check binaries log and arma .rpt for sign of. Strange convex component in component 0x .

I did that and there was some rogue verts ... but even deleted them nothing change ...

I'm not sure what you mean by that and I don't know how to do it also :) is it possible to guide me ?

Also check binaries log and arma .rpt for sign of. Strange convex component in component 0x .

I've no strange convexes in components but when I'm applying the rvmats for my textures then I'm getting this error almost for every point of my model "Warning: p:\leo2a6hel\leo2a6hel.p3d:0 Error while trying to generate ST for points: 2253, 2249, 2251" ...

But note that even without the rvmats (and this error) the geometry problem is still occurs.

---------- Post added at 18:07 ---------- Previous post was at 16:55 ----------

Finally the problem fixed .... probably it was a bad import from max to o2 ... I re-imported it but this time as OBJ instead of 3DS ... so far so good as its is not flying :) and the geometry seems to work as it should.

Thank you all for the help and I'll keep this thread alive just in case of more problems may occur during process ... after I'll have the model complete and decent into game maybe I'll write a tutorial for other modders :)
