Request for a little Assistance

[Lucky_foot]

Hi all,

I'd say I was making a game, but you all probably hear that a lot around here.

Well, I designed a simple model in Milkshape 3d 1.8.4 and attempted to add it to my level through the StaticEntityProxy and it crashed with a memory error. I can't figure out what I did wrong as the model is small, low poly, created with ACstudio.exe.

I've attached the .act file, .ms3d, the .log file for Reality Factory and a screen shot of the error it gave me on exploding.

I'd appreciate any help in telling me what I goofed up on.

Thanks!

Well if it's any help the actor is fine, works for me as StaticEntityProxy in RF0.076

That's strange. It doesn't work for me.

Would it be to much of a bother if you could make an extremely simple level with the object placed in and send me the .3dt file so I can study it to see what I'm doing wrong?

[Juutis]

... Or you could just post the stuff you put in the StaticEntityProxy's 'entity attributes' so we can see if you're doing something wrong there. 'Cause that's pretty much the only thing that can be wrong. Also, does the level run without the StaticEntityProxy?

And welcome to the forums, mate. I see you've been registered for a while already but it's your first post so...

If you can't manage a simple basic room with a player, player start and StaticEntityProxy. You will have no chance whatsoever of getting a .3dt file built by someone else to work on your PC.
I recomend you read the free e-book by Dan Valeo, get it here: http://www.realityfactory.info/cms/inde ... umentation

@Juutis,

Thanks for the welcome. Yes, I've been here for a little while watching things and reading up, this is the first time I've run in to anything that I couldn't solve by reading the manual.

You are probably right, I'm probably causing something in the StaticEntityProxy attributes. I'll post the information as soon as I can as I'm presently at work.

@bernie,

Read the book, have levels built, the design pattern I use is to get the geometry built first then start adding all the doo-dads. My previous request isn't worth anything after Juutis said to post the attributes I'm using as this will tell people what I'm goofing up.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

What path is RF installed in?

[Lucky_foot]

Default path. I can't remember what it is right now, but I didn't change the installer settings when it was running.

[paradoxnj]

Are there any spaces in that path?

hi there..
ok
most likely what is happening here is that
RF is looking for your actor and is not
finding it where it is supposed to be.
make sure you put it in the ACTORS folder and no other.
then the second thing that usually will cause the same problem
is if you did not put the-------.act on the end of the file name
for example it should look like this........
mymodel.act
also--try to use a STATICMESH instead as the lighting will be easier to
tweak.

Hope this helps....let me know plz..

Wooper

I've been on vacation and haven't been able to do any testing on this, but I'll let you all know the results when I get the time!
