Exported Objects Won't Show

[qhostking]

Hey there, I know I'm rarely on the forums, but I needed some help. ^^'

So, during the downtime, I decided to make my first map. (Of course I used the Watermill map, just put some stuffs in it. LOL.)

I went around on dA and found some meshes. Some of them you had to put in My_Objects, and had to export them yourself.

Well, I did position them with the collisions and such then exported them. (Like pillows, a TV, laptop, etc.)

In the Object Maker and Map Maker they show up, but once I could access the server, I went to the Cape, and went into my map. Once in it, every object that I had to manually export did not show up. Poof. Gone.

I was wondering if someone could give me the solution, even though this could probably be so easily fixed that it's ridiculous I've posted a thread on it. x3

Thanks. ~Bio Hazard

When I make the objects I ussally save them not export them so that might be why but I'm not sure

I tried that, but it didn't work. Thanks for the advice, though.~

You will have to export the Watermill map for the objects to show up in the map. BUT exporting the Watermill map is not advised because there is a chance it won't let you export it. You will have to create your own map and your own heightmap and then put your objects in the map and export your map. Just saving the map won't work. For the heightmap, http://feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=6&Itemid=11 here's a good tutorial if you need it. But note on this tutorial: the image has to be one layer all the time, you can't merge the layers or flatten it or your game will crash. My tip is make your heightmap, then flatten the image and then copy that into a new 513x513 grayscale image and then export it as a .png. If you need more help with the map maker, I'm here to help

Make sure you've made a new folder for the objects. If you just stick them in the default folders, they generally won't show up once the map is exported (I learned this the hard way). Unfortunately, you'll have to place the objects again, but they should stop disappearing.
