Battle map builings problems

**alpaca** · 11-07-2006, 22:51

Out of the BI folder? The BI items are described like ../../bi/data/models_building

Overlapping buildings shouldn't present a problem I think, at least not if you don't supply physical info. But I think even when you do they won't do much harm.

Edit: I assume you exported the model properly?

yep

I'll try doing it all again with the ../../bi/data/models_building

EDIT: I tried again, and once again a item file 373KB (around the same as the case file) was generated. However adding it to a settlement plan still causes a CTD upon loading the battle map view of the settlement.

Then the problem is probably the model itself. Did you name your mesh/group LOD1? I'm not sure if that's needed, haven't done any of that stuff for some time

no I didn't. Its just named crusades_stronghold_keep.cas

I meant in max, not the file.
Actually i'm not sure whether it's LOD_1 or LOD1, import an existing item and check it out :)

I checked, its LOD_1. So I renamed the model to LOD_1, attached it to the scene root. exported it as crusader_keep. Added my entry to the descr_items as:

Code:

type		crusades_stronghold_keep
lod
max_distance	4000.0
model_rigid	../../bi/data/models_building/crusades_keep.cas

This generated a new descr_items.db and an item file. The item file is 373KB while the original exported cas file is 374KB. I then did my thing with the the descr_model_building.txt (same entry as above) added the name of the entry to my settlement plan and still a ctd.

Did you add any other buildings to Crusader? If so, is there any difference between this one and the others?
Maybe you got some model bug or something.
