1P StandardMesh is screwed up.

Post by Swaffy »

I was editing the first person standardmesh file [in 3ds Max 7] for my rocket powered Jeep WIlly.

All I did was delete the windshield and the small headlight cylinder/thing. When I saved it, I looked at the file in BGA just to make sure it saved correctly. It did.

But in-game, the main body is [almost] invisible. It's about 85% invisible, as I you can see in the video.

How can I fix this?

Is the normals inverted? Did the mesh have the twosided command in the RS file? Perhaps Max deleted it on export.

The game was loading the wrong texture files. Apparently, when I saved the new model, the game switched around the textures without telling me. So instead of loading "1P_Willy_I" [a texture including secondary Willy body textures], it would load the Katyusha's window texture [used on the Willy's window]. The UVW mapping and image size was different, thus resulting in no texture being added, and just the "shiny" texture was shown [as seen in the video in the first post].
