Whats wrong with the textures?

[Idiotfan]

Hi, i made an house in Alias Maya 7.0 and exported it to Max and then to Gta San andreas and it worked perfectly after i scaled down a texture that were 1024x1024 to 512x512..

And now when i added more textures to the model two that is 512x512 and one that is 64x128 (this one is from the San andreas)

My model gets invisible :S how can it get invisible i do EXACTLY as i did before when the model worked what can be wrong with the textures? i have tried to have them in PNG, TGA and BMP format before i add them to TXD workshop but nothing works

My bet would be that your .txd is corrupted and you have to readd the textures again. I've had invisible objects many times too.

But I can see the textures and all that in MEd 0.1a

Have you compressed the txd.

[Idiotfan]

yes, I do exactly like this:

1 Make a model in Alias Maya 7 then assign to new material and adds the texture i want then i make the texture fit the model.

2 Exports the model as *.obj

3 imports the *.obj file in Autodesk 3ds max 8 and exports it as a dff then i make the col file with PAVEMENT_f*ckED.

4 adds the textures to a *.txd file and compresses all images and dont use alpha (with TXD workshop 4.5)

5 adds the model,txd and col to the gta3.img

Try using an ID thats not already in use

Actually thats a guess but Im pretty sure 56 is in use

[Idiotfan]

OK i'll try

 

EDIT: LOL when i edited the ID to 9000 there was a bridge were my object were supposed to be ahah

If your using Med, it has a search feature you can use to find out which Id's are free

and my model is still invisible

[xrk]

Maybe it is what -/TNT\ said, have you tried re-making the txd yet?

[Idiotfan]

hehe yes about 100 times or something xD but just because you said so i gave it one more chance and then it worked! ahha

 

but this time i first assigned the WHOLE model to a texture and then added other textures to the part of the model that shouldn't be grass

before did i just start with the roads and soo on and at the end i filled out the parts that didnt have any texture

thx everyone <3

 

Edit: hehe i got some col problems now but they are easy to fix i hope..

i am going to assume you're using TXD Workshop to make your TXD's.

 

for some of us this is a well known issue with TXD Workshop.

 

there is however i workaround for the issue..............

 

decompress all textures then save as gta3 txd then save as VC txd then re-compress all textures and save as SA txd.

 

i had lots of invisible txd problems while converting the Myriad Islands CMP mod over to SA from VC and this was the most effective way to combat the issue, sometimes you need to do the workaround twice tho.

 

good luck.

 

PS. alternatively i would suggest using G-Txd by REspawn

Hey! Try edit .IDE in the map editor, and check the texture lib of ur house, is right the name of txd?

I already make a steet and it stayed invisible.

And the problem was this.

Thanks for your replies guys but like i said in my other post: The problem is solved

The problem was that i needed to make the whole model to ONE texture in Alias Maya then i could start to apply other textures to the model
