I have no idea where you guys are getting the idea that the LODs have to be 0.

100 works fine, so does 0. Just don't do anything between. Because that defines a set distance of view-ability.




A couple things to note.

1. Make sure your groups are all different names.
2. Make sure your material names match the .png/.jpg files you have in your add-on directory.
3. Make sure you're using the torque exporter plus.




That step is not necessary.
You can simply create 16x16 .png or .jpg files and throw them in. As long as they're all solid color.
I attached the three I used to make it easier.


Should be like this.

Add-ons/...
        Weapon_laser2/...
              blue.png
              yellow.png
              orange.png
              laser.dts
              sever.cs

Oh, wow. Thanks so much.

To everyone who helped me, thank you. It's great that all of you took time out of your day to help with my problem. Thanks guys.

Edit: Here's my finished Megaman Blaster:



I think it's pretty good for a first model!

Could you upload your .ms3d for me.
In a private message if you prefer.


Make sure you have every group assigned to a material, and the LODs are in order

Because all of you seem to know what you're talking about, here's the model.

Note: This is my first model, so it's not exactly a masterpiece.

Thanks for all of your continuous support, by the way. It really helps.

Just saying, not all of the people in Blockland Forums are Americans.

Oh really?! I thought every single forumer was American! /sarcasm

This is directed towards Americans.

Us New Zealanders almost beat you!

Too bad you guys have deeper pockets than us.

Edit: If you don't know what this is, http://www.americascup.com/

It's basically a boat race, first to 9 points.

What happened was is that Team New Zealand got 8 points, while America had 1. America then started to catch up to us on Friday the 13th of boat race number 13. They won the cup 9-8 today.

As far as I know, an LOD of 100 is for player models while an LOD of 0 is for weapons.

Although, I'm not sure LOD's are your issue.

I tried with both 100 and 0, and they both don't work. It's probably not with LOD.

If you could try looking at the guide and see if there are any flaws, that would be helpful.

oh look a poorly drawn paint adventure that tries to be funny, how original

Oh look, a whining post that makes no attempt to even be a little bit supportive, how original. You know, if I wanted to find out what's original, I wouldn't look anywhere in your direction. If you don't like it, then you're out of luck. You can go somewhere else, and find what you want. If you don't find it funny, then I'm not sure why exactly you stuck along long enough to post that.

When I put down my weapon that I made, only one part comes up (as far as I know, two spheres are not coming up) on it and it's all in gray.

I followed a guide step by step and I don't understand what's wrong.

sit in the metal thing

Oh, look! Scary the Bear is making a move! I sure hope he knows what he's doing!



He's sitting on the metal looking thing! Actually, now that I think of it, that must be a trap. Oh well, it looks like it doesn't really do that much.

It looks like Scary the Bear really knows his stuff! Or does he? He's just a bear, after all.

What next? You decide!

This would be awesome for some kind of adventure map, like a Mirrors Edge map.

I love the atmosphere! It's a really unique build, not many people are building cities this way.

I absolutely love this

well if we're directing the bear rather than thinking from its point of view, kick a rock at it or toss something at the metal object.

Well, we're not directing the bear, nor controlling him from "its point of view". We're watching it, but you guys are saying what he's going to be doing next.

Edit: Almost as if this were a narrative. We can not interfere with the story, and we are not exactly controlling the character, but we're deciding what he will do next.

well if i was a bear i wouldn't know any better. are we making decisions for the bear, or as the bear?

You are deciding what happens next. By me saying "Scary the Bear wouldn't want to be caught in one of those! Or does he? He doesn't know, because he's just a bear." I mean it in a humorous way.

also what is that, your artistic skills although hilariously ironic don't convey the image very well

This isn't supposed to be some kind of movie with epic scenes. There's not much to be shown, really. You're in a forest and there's a steel thing with some meat on it.

and aside from touching the thing what else do we have to do? ">search for human flesh" or something???

It's your choice. The story evolves around the person's choices. For example, if you were to say "go left", then I would make a different scenario. Like I said before, you're in a forest with not many interesting things other than a steel thing.

The Events of Scary the Bear

This is Scary the Bear, a brown bear that loves to get into all kinds of mischief. He enjoys to eat fish, go on long walks on the beach, and kill humans that get too close. He lives in Honey Hill Forest, a calm and peaceful place full of bears alike him. Scary the Bear always gets himself into trouble! This is his story. You decide what he does next.

_____________________________________________________________

CHAPTER 1 - HOME SWEET HOME

_____________________________________________________________

Oh, hello there, Scary the Bear! What are you doing? He is wandering throughout the woods searching for food! He is looking for berries, fish and, his favourite, human flesh! A little taste couldn't hurt, could it?

Oh look, he found some strange meat on some kind of steel device. It looks rather sharp! Scary the Bear wouldn't want to be caught in one of those! Or does he? He doesn't know, because he's just a bear.

What next? You decide!
