White model... ?

[jdarbyshire 0]

Hi I have made a new object in O2 (Sign) and it works in Bulldozer... I have one LOD in it and it is fully textured.

When I stuff it with the following config.cpp all i get is a white model ingame the same width, but with no textures...

Please can u help?

Did you place the .pac.paa's in your folder? and are they linked to the pbo

You must have textures in yours pbo! In budozer you can have textures in buldozer's data directory, but there aren't be in game "data.pbo" file. You must put texture to your's pbo. And rewrite path in your's model.

E.g. You pbo will be "sign.pbo", so you must put there yours textures, than open model, in list of textures double click on texture name with "ctrl" pressed. That will select every faces which are using this texture. Than RMB to some viewport with "aLt" pressed (you will active this viewport), than press "E" for open face proparties window. In bottom right os path to texture, so change "data\texture.pac" to "sign\texture.pac"

That may help!

I have the textures in the "GasSigns" folder... Will just test zwadars way...

It didnt work... I checked all the textures and they were all in the gassign folder... I would post the p3d but i cant cos its part of the falklands MOD... Sorry... The model is the same size, and width but it is sunk into the ground...

I just had a brainwave... What LOD's do I have to have for an object?

whiteout is caused by the textures not being referenced properly, either they are wrongly pathed in the p3d or they arent placed where they are meant to be (sorry stating the obvious here ).

open up the p3d in a text editor and check what path is actualy written for them, make sure they point to the correct pbo file (eg gas-signs, as opposed to gassigns)

OK STT they are correctly placed... I will attach the p3d file so you can all have a look... i don't know ahts wrong... Also why is the model halfway into the ground...

Sign P3d and config

so problem wiil be,tat your's pbo is nabed "gassigns" but in your model you have "gassign" .. there is the problem.. :-)))

[KTottE 0]

And the sunken thing might very well be because the model is below ground level in O2. Like I told you on ICQ.

You are a God mate... How can I be so dumb??? Thank you so much it works now... Thanks, especially to Zwadar and KTottE, but all of you.. Cheers guys... ;D
