Bump.

I'm having trouble with the lighting on my vehicle. It's much too bright.



I read this Q&A here:

Q: My model lighting is all screwed up! The colors are dimmer at random parts and there are shadows in weird places. The world is ending!
A: -answersnip-

I followed it exactly, but after exporting the mesh turned invisible in-game.
Any ideas on how to dim this (the lamp and camera were already deleted)?

Reduce the brightness in your textures. Also, you must have failed somewhere because I've never had any problems with the that. Never had an invisible mesh.

No, the problem was that I forgot to re-parent the mesh to Detail32.
It works fine now, thanks.

Install that if you are using 2.49.
Don't use tar balls.


And I have a problem.
Say that I worked from one object to create something.
How separate part of it to become a separate object?



And Demian, how would I get rid of those bone/armature names from the menu in 2.49 when I delete the bones?

YES FINALLY FIXED!
heres link to the exporter if you need it
http://jsgreenawalt.com/Blender-DTS-Exporter/download.html
ok for anyone else with this error this is how i fixed it
i downloaded that exporter but it wouldnt let me extract it to my scripts folder so i extraced it to my other folder then moved it into a folder already in scripts eg.bpydata
then moved it from there back to the original scripts folder
IT WORKS :DDDD

Demian, how do I remove a shortcut for a function?
I accidentally set leftmouse, middle mouse button and ` to flip normals.

How do you accidentally do that? Just change the keybinds from File > User Preferences > Input or load factory settings. Whatever floats your boat.

I can think of three different black lines off the top of my head. Provide pics.
