Title: Really need some help with meshes, maps and objects
Post by: Vidathelion on August 28, 2014, 03:06:49 am
Gotta' say, as much as I love this game there's one thing I've yet to find in answer to:
How come my objects wont work? (also, how come a crud-load of my maps wont export?
I really hate this x.x its super annoying. Every item, not matter what or where I get it, never works in game. All the items come out blank and white, with the name "BaseWhite" where I typed the mat.file.

Can some one please help me with this?
Also, please don't use super-detailed explanations, try to make it simple ^^" I'm not good with guessing where files and coding goes at with this game.
Also, when people tell me to put objects in the "objects folder" do they mean make a new folder for the downloaded objects, or put them in 'my objects'? I never really get a clearer explanation about that. All that's in the 'objects' folder is blank export files...

HELP

Also, when you go to put the objects in the game(using object maker)
It's comes up with "Mesh:" and "Material:"
do I type "Objectname" and "matname" in there, without a ".something-else" at the end? Cause I was told by someone else that I had to type .mat or something before or after it x.x

Just thought I'd point out; it CAN'T be the coding to these things. I've downloaded brand new objects before, and they did not work. I've coded them and everything. I've modded certain parts of the FH's game files, but I never did with objects.

The objects folder is where the object groups are. All of the files in there should end in .OBJECT, if you download meshes ALL of the non .OBJECT (or if there is a sound file, put that where it goes) into Feralheart>Media>Objects>My_objects. I have a tutorial if you would be interested in that (should be second or third down):  http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=47053.0 (http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=47053.0)
If everything is coming out BaseWhite, you probably are doing something wrong.

In Object Maker, you have to put InsertRandomMeshNameHere.mesh , and also you need to make sure you have the caps right where they need to be. ^^ The material may have Mat at the end, but you don't need to put somethingmaterialk.material after it, for example rockMat, it has mat at the end but not .mat, if that makes sense XD

Hmm. Is there a croc material file nearby? If so, open that up and look at the words after "Material" in the first line. Just type that into the box.

If you could give me a link to that mesh, I'll see if the BaseWhite thing is normal. ^^

Oh, and you're welcome ^^ *Hugs back*

We need a .material file also- and the texture along with the mesh. If there's no .material file, the texture will not appear, since it was apparently not assigned to the mesh in Blender, AC3D, etc. If there is a material file, can you put it up here? We only got that .mesh file. (My apologies if I missed it. >_<)

Here's the link to the texture-http://sta.sh/04ai2zqm8dh
Most of the files don't come with a MAT file. Some of them with mat files don't even work x.x other people seem to be able to use them fine.
and some of the items that work crash my game as well...xD They came downloaded like that and other people seem to

May I have a link to the mesh you downloaded? (Whether you got it from dA or this site.)  It's not possible for a mesh to come up textured without a material... A .mat is what assigns that texture. The game crashes because the mesh is probably high-poly, and your computer cannot handle it. The original mesh maker might have not converted quads to triangles when it was made. If I remember correctly, game engines have a difficult time rendering meshes with quads.
