How to create models in XSI and other 3D applications and make them work in Battlefront 1 & 2. Post models, tips for application usage and share anything XSI, 3DMax, SketchUp, etc.
Yes, these are objects i made in xsi. Yes, they do show up in Zero Editor. But I don't think I had the whole scene root selected when I exported...but I just tried it, and when I did, softimage crashed...
you dont wanna select the scene root -_- branch select dummyroot which should be the parent object to your mesh and then export, also check export textures so that your textures get copied to your MSH directory in your side folder that your exporting to.
have the WHOLE scene 'visible' in a viewport. press and hold the middle mousebutton and drag it throughover your Viewport. it'll now BRANCH Select everything - and it won't crash
Wait...I don't think you get it...when I exported the whole scene, it crashed, when I exported the dummyroot, it worked...it's just when I ran the map on battlefront, it crashed...
PS: the mouse 'clicks'
PPS: Do I have to append a LOD mesh to my ordinary meshes?
it can be multiple meshes just as long as theyre all in the right hierarchy, dont export the whole scene, slap whoever told you to do that for me. the map crashing MIGHT be something else but im not sure.
no none of that is required for an object to work, without a lowrez all thatll happen is your object will become invisible at a certain distance rather than the lowrez being rendered and ive never had to use an option file for anything.
