steve-m 21 Posted April 25, 2006 Applying optimization more than once won't help anything. Neither do tons of smilies. And I don't know any solution other than switching to a "proper" modeling program. And you are sure your mesh isn't flipped or rotated somehow? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drakos 0 Posted April 26, 2006 lol sorry steve if my smilies are annoying to you. when i clicked to optimized the mesh it was already flipped. i will try optimizing first- then flipping and Mirror X Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PlatinumSerb 387 Posted April 26, 2006 In the current release CE2's optimize function welds vertices within a distance of 0.01, removes triangles with identical vertices (also duplicated flipped ones), and removes isolated vertices. This gets rid of degenerated triangles and everything that's "invisible", but afaik it doesn't solve all Sketchup related problems. Would increasing that number(0.01) fix more of the "invisible walls"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BenMillard 32 Posted April 26, 2006 Increasing that distance could run the risk of removing legitimate faces? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve-m 21 Posted April 26, 2006 Probably. That's hardcoded atm, but I wanted to make it user-definable once I add an options dialog. But I doubt I'll update it anytime soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_Rob_ 65 Posted April 1, 2009 Yea. Click "Edit > Batch Conversion...", add all col files you want to convert, tick "Generate Lighting", "Material Conversion", and "Optimize" (not "Minimize Bounding Volumes"!); select "Col 3" as output version, press OK and in the lighting generator choose your lighting (I'd recommend simple non-directional lighting at ~30%). what so does this mean it lights all the col's the same like pre lighting or am i way off the mark, and maybe even holding the wrong end of the stick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shadow-Link 4 Posted April 3, 2010 No, afaik Steve-m left the modding community, don't you think he would have posted some info here if he would be working on this for IV? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vans123 115 Posted April 3, 2010 Sorry for being part of the big Bump but, there isnt a way to give a lil clean and brushing to this awsome tool, maybe the enough to stop it from creating invisible walls and well the most important to be able to import shadow mesh data into an already made col Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aad 0 Posted April 3, 2010 Sorry for being part of the big Bump but, there isnt a way to give a lil clean and brushing to this awsome tool, maybe the enough to stop it from creating invisible walls and well the most important to be able to import shadow mesh data into an already made col the invisable walls are most of the times caused by the modeling proces itself not the tool that is making the colfiles for you, its also caused by the tools you are exporting the files with for making a colfile. most of the times the model isnt optimized or stripped down enough which causes small faces (long small stretched ones) which can be experienced as walls in the game.

vans123 115 Posted April 4, 2010 well at least me , the last wall i had was half year ago, but i was just saying and what about the shadow mesh thingy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oGeesKeeMasK 21 Posted June 24, 2012 Knock knock, hey Steve M., if you're still active, I'm trying to export my vehicle mod for GTA SA from zmod2 but for it to not crash the game the collision mesh has to have an "external state" id number that is applied from the properties menu in zmod2 to the collision mesh, you wouldn't know what it or they are would you? It's been a while since my last mod and I've since forgotten. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
