Desperately need some help

[tansytansey]

Okay, so I've been making a couple changes to the Greyhound model, making the pilot fit in the cockpit properly and stuff. I've got it all working fine except for one thing - whenever I launch from a base, the ship's textures changed. While docked however, they appear completely normal.

I've redone the changes twice to try and fix the problem, but I can't figure for the life of me what's wrong with it. Here's the screenshots of the problem.

The ship not only is using one of the textures only, it's also displaying the texture co-ordinates in the wrong place. Yes, I did use DDS files this time, not TGA.
I've re-exported and hardpointed the changed model and mat file several times and I get the same result each time. I don't know what's going wrong. Help? D:
I'd like to get this sorted so I can submit the changes for 4.86 as soon as possible.

Try manually making the .MAT fiule. If that doesn'#r work, I'm not sure. THat is VERY trange.

Hmm... maybe try reassigning the textures in <S3d, and then exporting everything.

Apologies for bad splling, too much vodka.

also cannot say what might be wrong... but here are some things you can check out:

- make sure that you re not mixing an old cmp and a new mat file. if you have made a new mat file, best export it along with a fresh cmp file, too - and completely hardpoint it again.

- if its a new model, - make sure that the first mesh is uniquely named or you might get mesh conflicts. - also maybe name your materials uniquely to avoid a possible conflict ( although that has never been necessary for me )

- make sure that the mat file is not corrupted in any way and that it indeed uses dds formats ( but you wrote you checked that )

- check the shiparch to make sure that the cmp refers to the correct mat file.


thats all i can think of in a hurry.

Alright, I'll give all those a try. I'm not quite sure how to make a Mat file from scratch though, I've just been using the exporter in Milkshape.

Just take an existing .MAT and replace everything in it:P

That's how we learned before that .MAT exporter existed... *Reminices*

Anyway, make sure that you edit the number of materials aswell.

Okay, looks like the problem was a collision somewhere. I renamed all the materials and meshes and now it's working fine. I'll send the updated model to Jinx later.
