Map mod Crash

[oscarw_89]

I'm doing a map mod and i have made a model in Sketchup.

And i exported it in several different parts to .3ds. I made txd for all the models and converted the 3ds files in 3ds Max 8 to .dff and .col.

I've putted my files (txd,dff,col) in an own .img file and changed the gta dat fil to this:

I made .IPL and .IDE :

I cant find anything wrong in these.

 

But the game crashes at loading screen.

 

I can see the models in GTA Map Viewer and if i test with only 2 of my models it works, but in game the collision models are a bit strange. there are invisible walls on some places.

 

EDIT: In 3ds Max I'm using Kams/ocrams Gta Tools.

There is an IDE limit in San Andreas, as well as the other GTA Games. Unfortunatly due to the giant size of San Andreas, there is only 5 available IDE slots, meaning you can add only 5 new objects to the map. You can duplicate already made models from the game though. That's why there hasn't been a whole lot of map creating with San Andreas, and no one yet has created anything to expand the memory to allow more objects. Best idea would be to combine the objects into 5 pieces and hopefully it won't strain the game system due to its size.

The invisable walls you are experiencing are col problems that have occured from using Sketchup. It is renound for it's col problems and is usually avoided for putting stuff ingame. There are methods to try and prevent col problems but no matter how hard you try you will always have them.#

 

Nice reply DeathSquad you explained his problem very well .

Do you think the col problem could be fixed in Collision File Editor II by Steve M?

 

+ Thanks for fast replay!

No.

 

They appear as fully functional and good collision files in Col editor the old version anyway i've not tired the new version but i'd assume it was the same.

 

You're welcome about the reply . Glad i could help

I beleave that i know a way to export "good" .col:s.

I import the Sketchup model into 3Ds Max and exports it to .X fíle and imports it in GTA III/VC Col Maker and makes a .col file. I import that col file to 3Ds Max and rotate it right and exports it with Kam's GTA Scripts to .col (1/2/3) again.

 

There are buggs...
