Are the RFA files predetermined by BF1942 executable? or is there a place that the engine is being told to load x,y and z RFAs?

As for serverSettings.con, this file isn't called from any perticular location. It's hard coded entry in the exe that calls up that file. Is this the case for all of the RFAs? and how does one go about adding an archive, say for example I made an Objects.rfa in my own Archives folder, how can I ens...

At 4:15 in your video, when you are attempting to use the move tool in Battlecraft42. Once you have selected the desired object, you must unlock it.

This is the same issue I was having that we solved in another thread.

Thanks guys! I'm pretty sure it ended up being some other files in standardMesh.rfa named crate, overriding any custom ones I added to my map.

I made up some youtube videos while I was trying to figure it out

This is what I have in GMAX



and in BGA it shows the collision mesh.



And this is my Object file

I tried that though, in the the youtube video you'll see that I have applied the mesh to the high and low collision mesh fields. Maybe I might try duplicating the mesh and using a seperate mesh for the collision detection.

I've studied the ammo box but cannot see the link between the collision meshs and the game engine. Are the name conventions critical? Is there some hidden voodoo looking for those names?
