mordred 0 Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Been busy with max all day, and some stuff is still bothering me. 1) When igor is open and i load my *.env file, my map from 3dsmax loads.... but on the top window i still see the env (overview) map of caves. (i used env from caves-map)............. instead of my 3dsmax overview..... the textured map is there in igor, the top view aint.... 2) when i go into GR it crashes when the mission loads (to desktop)...... 3) Is there any way to switch between objects in Max??? i cant seem to select my former anymore..... PS: 1 got a tip for all your noobs(like me) DONT use a rectangle or so as a ground for GR it WONT texture !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! use squad mesh instead here are some files that might help u solve my problem: my saved files: test max-file test max-map-file id really appreciate some help here cause its driving me nutzzzzzzz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sleeper 0 Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 (edited) 1. The picture you see as a "top view" in IGOR is a command map.rsb, in your case the Caves map's command map. In the .env file there is an option as to which .rsb to load here. You will need to make one for your new map and then assign it here. 2. Theres hundreds of things that could cause your map to crash in game. We'll need some more specifics or to look at your files to be able to help. If i get a chance Ill try to take a look. Is that a max v5 file? 3. Switch between objects in max? Im not sure what you mean by that, try selecting them maybe? with the mouse? Theres no problem using a rectangle as a ground or object in your map, you just need to apply a normal to it. It needs some faces in order to apply texture to it. Try putting paint on the walls of your house when all you have up is the frame. Edited March 2, 2004 by sleeper Quote Link to post Share on other sites
larocket83 0 Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Usually the problem with crashing is the sht file. You need to delete it when you make changes to the map. That was my problem. Hope that helps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mordred 0 Posted March 2, 2004 Author Share Posted March 2, 2004 thx for the fast reply guys. * It was indeed the *.sht file that did it, and ill try that rectangle thing now ps: i 'hate' it when a 3hour effort is solved with a 10second solution thx fellas, ill be asking a lot more so keep your eyes open Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sleeper 0 Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 It seems odd to me that the .sht file would cause it to crash at this point. Normally that is the problem people have though. I was assuming that this was your first export and that you hadnt changed the geometry. If there were no geometry or tagging changes between this export and the prior one the .sht file would not cause a crash. The .sht file contains collision data, on plenty of occasions I have relit new maps and done minor things like reassigning textures and used the same .sht file without a crash. You should always of course delete the .sht file when you do a new export, otherwise it isnt necessary. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
larocket83 0 Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Some coding genius should modify or add a plugin to delete that little annoyance immediately after export. That would be a small but wonderful tool. Seems like its easy to forget that little sht. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
