SA SA: Dff building model crashes the game (solved)

[Jaapio]

Hi Folks,

 

It's me again. I'm running into an issue with my new building model. Whenever I place it in a map the game crashes while loading and I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Maybe Some one can help me figure out what I am doing wrong.

IDE:

18164, cc-tna-e, cc-tna-e, 299, 0

 

IPL:

18164, cc-tna-e, 0, 536.262024, -446.860046, -0.050000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 1.000000, -1

 

 

(also I have added a collision mesh for cc-tna-e)

Edit: So it was an issue with the collision mesh that caused the game to crash but now my building is way too dark. (I recently switched from gmax to blender and I'm still getting used to it).

If it’s dark then you need to apply prelighting

the game doesn't accept file names that have hyphen "-"

underscore "_" is accepted

 

this should work

cc_tna_e.dff

cc_tna_e.txd

I recommand to rename also the images inside the txd file

but this requires to assign again the renamed textures by 3d editor

I'm using the steam version and so far names with an hyphen work. Is this a thing with the other versions?

[ZAZ]

The steam version has files with hypen in the name?

can you give an example?

note, i mean originally game files

That's not what I meant. I meant that the model now works even with a dash in the filename. As for the other thing, these are the files with hyphens in them in gta3.img from steam:

• pylon-wires03.dff
• pylon-wires11.dff
• carter-light15b.dff

So I don't think a hyphen in the name is an issue
