Does anyone know how to use the Alternative MP Buildings found at http://www.renegadehelp.net/downloads/models/Buildings/AlternativeMPBuildings.zi p? I can get some of the proxies to work, but I can't get the Door, elevator, some PT ags, and the VIS to work. I placed them all in RenX (PROPERLY, i'll post a tut on it when the main renhelp is back up, only the FTP area is working), but I can't get the proxies to work.

Sorry about the sudden Haitus, my internet was down for a while. But it's up now, and I still need help!

Proxies work by naming things as follows:
PRESETNAME~##

PRESETNAME - is the name of the preset in LE that is going to be placed on the w3d load (in your case they will probably be tiles).
~ - is just used to separate the name from the count.
## - is the count of this preset, starts at 00 and +1 for every proxy of this preset type on the map.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Don't allow your preset name to be any longer that 11 (possibly 12) characters, as when it exports to w3d it will chop off any names exceeding that length, and then it will be unable to find the name of the preset, and thus won't be placed.

Wow, it was in the model it self with the doors, the exact thing I had a problem with. Thanks.

EDIT: OK, it was in the model itself, but the doors still do not load, HELP!

Please make sure the following are all correct:

1) Door model has been added to the presets list.
2) Name of the door's tile does not exceed 11 characters in length.
3) Proxy is named correctly and has both check boxes (Bone and geometry) checked in Gmax.
4) Proxy is placed on the level in Gmax in the correct location and rotation.
5) Level has been exported and Level Editor has been exited and reloaded to make sure any proxy's load (This is important, just closing the level and then reloading it will not load changes made to the W3D, level edit must be complete exited every time you export changes to a previously loaded W3D).

If all else fails, try making the Door's preset in level editor and make sure its visible.

I found another, hopefully working source of the alternate MP buildings at the westwood FTP area, in the buildings.zip, if that fails, I could place the doors and elevators manually. I would need to redo the W3D anyway, as the textures are messed up.

If all else fails, I can try uploading mine for you (by mine I mean the ones I have, not ones I made myself). I've used them recently and they work, so if they fail for you then it's something on your end.

Sorry, I misread your post... I don't have the alternative MP buildings. Just the regular ones. Embarassed
