Vehicle not appearing on vehicle spawn

Yes, that was definitely the problem. Simply changing the file format manually almost never works for anything, because nearly all file formats are encoded differently. Just make sure you're using Blender 2.49, or the dts exporter won't work.

Pretty sure I'm using Blender 2.65

Download 2.49 for BL modding. Dts exporter doesn't work with anything higher than that.

The person that made the model sent me it as a DTS (He originally sent it as a blend file) and now when I spawn it, the game crashes.

How many faces does the blend have?

It is crashing probably, because the collision mesh is on the same layer as the visible mesh which causes problems with wheeled vehicles.

I successfully made and released a vehicle with the collision mesh on the same layer as the detail mesh.

Was it a wheeled vehicle, though? Also, which version of the exporter did you use?

Honestly, I have no idea which exporter it is, but yes, it was a wheeled vehicle.
