Looks great, really wish there were a way to select skins in game...
I think the whole game engine would have to be 'fixed', which is something completely out of our reach |

I hope you'll consider having the tactical markings separate from the main skin,

How do you set those up? I can't figure them out for the life of me unless I just attach a marking to the texture |

I wrote a quick beginners' guide, a long time ago: http://graviteam.com/forum/index.php?topic=2369.0As in other things, my explanation covers the basics. Nobody expressed any further interest, so I stopped there.  |

Hi chaps,
Almkost done, I've produced all my LODs but having a problem combining them all in to one .go file. They are all in .x format and I've followed the tutorial methods and named them all with, for example, SDKLFZ1.x, 2. and 3.x. The F9 key in the editor just hangs the program. Any tips on working with the LODs please.
Kind regards
Aces
PS. I'll have a looik at the tacmarks thin Kyth mate.

You need to name them <modelname>l1.x, <modelname>l2.x, <modelname>l3.x (that's lower-case L, one, two and three). By the way, there might be some kind of 'error' message about some text path not being found, but you can ignore that. The important thing is to find the new file called <modelname>l.go (lower-case L, no number) which should contain all the 3 lod's. |

Here's a short writeup about it (look at Part2): http://graviteam.com/forum/index.php?topic=9671.0Do not rename s_root. |

It looks like I'm doing everything right in the objects editor but this PITA just won't produce the go file LODS!. I'm packing it in for tonight been at it for nearly twelve hours again today, will come back with a fresh head tomorrow. I can see why some folks settle for only one LOD! Cheers Aces |

Make sure that all the LOD's have the same naming and parent structure for all the parts.
And the 2nd and 3rd LOD's don't need the 's_' and 'p_' parts.

Thanks mate,
All three .x files are named correctly, the 2nd and 3rd LODs don't have s or p fragments. When I press F9 and load the fiirst LOD nothing happens, no text box flashes up or anything. I can load all three .x files in and they display fine and their d fragments are all correctly grouped as per LOD1. I'm baffled, could this be a Windows 7 issue?. I tried running the editor in XP SP3 comp[at mode, made no difference, I even re-installed the objects editor and still no joy.
Regards
Aces

SORTED  It was a case thing in the .x file names, the editor seems to like all lower case in the whole name. Testing today but works in-game. Cheers Aceas |
