[Question]Adding gears.

10/28/2013 19:56 Prideness#1
Hello Epvp,

I've been trying to add gears following [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...](which is a nice guide btw.) But I've ran into a problem, in the .mlx files I made, the complete gear (except helmet ofc) is showing. I can also see them in Item.SData, and link them to gears. They just won't show in-game, if I put the gears on with the models, they are invisible. I've extracted the whole data.sah and later on built data from folder, and replaced both .sah and .saf in the client.

In the Item.SData it does show as the real .dds file (like you open it in PS), while other gears show as 3D.

Got this problem too :) ,

Did you make sure the dds in actually in dds folder ? could be as simple as that ...

Yes, I'm sure, otherwise ShStudio and it's viewer/3D viewer won't view it aswell I think.

I've replaced the models from another gear in item.sdata (it was: demf_upper006.dds) to the new files, I just added through the guide. (it's now: demf_upper015.dds).

The files which I added/wanted to add are all fine, they open through ShStudio with no problems.

Ill take a look at the .dds files that's imported in the data.sah where the client runs on, maybe it gone wrong while building the data from folder with LPHs tool.

Make sure in all mlx files, they are correctly spelt right as the same as in the dds file names, 3dc file names, as well make sure the item.sdata is updated with model changes.

Do you think it will matter if the files I copied to the DDS files, don't have the .dds extension in the actual name, but I do type the .dds extension in the mlx files?

In the data.sah extracted folder

In the ShStudio .mlx file
