Title: Object not showing in the TE
Post by: Greebo on August 03, 2010, 01:11:25 PM

I've been playing around with the object editor recently. I made an object and saved it with a file name of less than 8 letters. Then I built it and transferred the resultant shp file to my terrain's texsrc folder. The trouble is, it does not show up in the TE's "available shapes" list so I can't insert it into the terrain. Oddly though the file name does show up in the "select by shape" list. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Launch the TE, then Open your terrain. The second time the terrain is opened, your shape will show up. Wait until you start playing with ac3d objects, lol, this way there be dragons!

Thanks Easyscor, that got it. The ways of the AH editors are certainly strange, aren't they? Was half expecting to have to sacrifice a goat or something.....  :D
