Help! Why doesn''t my ship work?!?!

Thu Jun 12, 2003 10:28 pm by sleuth

I've just put together a mod for the Independence Day Alien Fighter but it won't work. First I accidently forgot to reference the .cmp and .mat files in the shiparch.ini and when I went to the ship dealer all that came up was 2 Patriots (I used the Patriot as a base) but it worked. When I changed the refs it crashed to desktop?!?!?!? Anyone help please?

Speaking from personal experience, changing the .cmp and .mat references in the middle of a game shouldnt make any difference. I've got a save with an added ship in space and i just change the references to try out ship models and it loads fine, even with missing hardpoint etc. However that doesnt mean it might happen to you cause of different system etc.

So if its not that you'd have to assume something is wrong with the .mat or .cmp files. Try referencing a different .mat file or deleting all the tree in it. It should load the model, just without any textures. If it doesnt then your .cmp is the problem. Too many triangles? Try checking other stuff, like if the body of the ship is the first group etc. Good luck.
