Hi,

I've been making a destroyable object but every time i put it in a map the game crashes at load.

It works fine in renX when i play it.
It plays ok in W3D viewer (except i cant see its texture there)
It loads Ok in LE from what i gather too (i can see it at least)

I've made a building controller for it as well, but haven't bothered sticking it in as it seems that the animated model crashes with or without it anyway

I removed the damage aggregates because i thought they caused it, but no joy.

What is the best method of importing Animated models into LE and then into maps? I think i may be naming the parts wrong in renX or setting it up wrong in LE but i don't know what the naming conventions are.

Does anyone have any ideas or guidance? Its just a simple destroyable model, not a building or anything

Any help much appreciated, r34ch

I can't help too much here but try getting XCC mixer/RenegadeEx to open up always.dat, and try to find what various objects like yours are called. There may be a special way of naming them, as I know vehicles use v_<name>.w3d, etc.

You may also be exporting it wrong. I know that you have to export animated models like that a specific way... While I don't know how to do it exactly, you could try looking up various tutoriols on renhelp.net. Even ones not related to what you're doing exactly may help, as I'm pretty sure there's a few tutorials related to animated objects and the like.

http://renhelp.net/index.php?mod=Tutorials&action=view&id=5

You don't have to file that tutorial step by step of course because you're not exactly making a door I don't think, but yeah.

None of our working vehicles use V_(namehere), just simply "Harvester" "Assaultnk" etc..
