Title: Yes, a map issue
Post by: ashes13 on August 02, 2011, 07:30:52 am
OK, so am I supposed to do some thing to get my own objects to show up in my maps? Cause in map maker the show up and I can climb on them and all that good stuff, but if I go to the map through Cape Of Distant Worlds those objects are no longer there. Or will it just not work until I export my map? (Sorry for posting a map maker question, I know there are a lot of those  :-[  )

It's ok, I think you have to export the object P-P. Are you using new items or the ones already there?

I'm having a similar issue with 'custom' objects. First is trees - I have four different variations I'm alternating trying to figure out why it won't. The only trees that show up in my map are fir trees and oak trees but I have red oaks and cherry blossom trees in it. Exporting does not fix the problem.

Then I have an issue with crystals-with-no-glow not showing up but the crystals-with-glow will show up which is kind of amusing. :P

And yeah it all works perfectly in mapmaker and vanishes when I test it out on a character. I have also had a friend test it out and they don't see the items either so its again not something to be fixed by exporting...

It's so much easier to fix a problem when you actually know what the problem is. x.x lmao

Edit: Oh! Also the birch trees I downloaded from Wombat the other day won't work...pretty much the same as the cherry tree thing....Maybe there's a coding difference? *hunts*

Have you exported it previously to test it?

They are all objects like the cliff. Nothing special, and yes I have exported all the objects. But I haven't tried exporting the map yet cause it's no where close to being done.

Great, now I'm getting this. (After I exported my map)

XD I don't have anything so simple as an error message.

Ok. So I took an acacia tree. I took its acaciaLeafYellowMat and made a acaciaLeafYellowMat2 and made it pink and added it to the material file. There is no reason machine-wise, lag-wise, or foreign-object-wise that it should not show up.

This is how the example map I made in mapmaker looks. It is a standard yellow-leafed acacia tree, a previously existing game item with pre-existing code and pre-existing texture, next to a pink-leafed acacia that the only difference is a hue change and a 2 added to the name. The code is perfect so far as I can tell.

This is how it looks after I export it when I test it with my character:

I'm just confused. XD

That's exactly what was happening to me before I exported my map

XD Just absolutely no idea what was causing the problem. At least if I knew what might be causing it I could devote more time to trying to fix it, but my only idea was that it might be the foreign texture or object conflicted with ogre. Which didn't entirely make sense because I have seen the exact same sakura tree in another map. But now it is entirely pre-existing objects....And it's a totally debilitating bug, I can't do anything with my map until it is fixed unless I want more fir trees. o.o Fir and Oak trees are the only trees that work anymore...

And the strangest thing is that I have plenty of other awkward new objects in my map that show up just fine. I have a flower textured palm tree, and a group of flower-textured dens, and they show up just fine...

Well I fixed my ogre problem, but I still have the objects problem.
