Meshes won't work!
« on: September 17, 2015, 10:24:05 pm »
I have made a map and when I exported it, two of the .fho files don't have all of the meshes. I have meshes from certain groups that show up in the map then others that don't. My Default.fho and MyRocks.fho are the ones doing this. I only see about half of the meshes actually contained in the mesh group. And I have exported each mesh group and the map several times. Yet I still don't see these.

Am I doing something wrong?

When you put objects into pre-made groups they do not show up outside the Map Maker. To fix this, put new meshes into their own object group from Object Maker, by saving them into a non-existent group, which will cause the creator to make that group.

Will I need to replace all these objects?

Also thank you for the info!

The objects don't necessarily need to be replaced, since you are able to open the object .cfg for your map, and see something like this;
Code: [Select]
[TwistedThornsV4/Plateau]
%5835 145 3322;3 1 3
%4020.05 114.973 6285;2 2 5
%3475 80 6085;3 2 3
%3475 80 6485;3 2 3
%3620 70 6285;3 2 3
%1820.47 193.763 5950.63;7 0.5 5

The "TwistedThornsV4" is the object group, and whatever is after the slash (/) is the object name. You can use Ctrl + H in notepad to do a mass replacement of the few object groups you need to rename.

It looks as if this is settled, so I will go ahead and lock this.

If you define yourself by the power to take life, the desire to dominate, to possess… then you have nothing.
