Overturned bus - getting "magic" errors!!!

[Zombie_Mod]

Hi,

I have made an "overturned bus" model. However when I try to use it in game, I get a "magic" error which means nothing to me.

Can anyone help?
My prototype is available for download @
www.freewebs.com/tunstals/zombus.rar (854k)

It loads nicely in o2.

Could it be to do with missing proxies? Any ideas? Please help, I am desperate to get this addon out.


Also
The overturned bus should have no driver, how can I set this in the config.cpp ?

[Leone]

Easy fix:

1. Remove MemoryLOD, View-CargoLOD, View-Cargo-GeometryLOD, HitPointsLOD and LandContactLOD
2. Remove ALL proxies and named selections.
3. Base the bus on a different class in the config.cpp (TargetGrenade is a fairly standard one) and remove the following entries:

Quote[/b] ]turnCoef=0;
transportSoldier = 0;

Since you don't want it to move, all of these things will make it a "static" object, rather than a drivable object.

EDIT. And get yourselves a Tag at OFPEC

Many thanks for your help! I will try that.

Hi, I tried what you said but it still doesn't work. I still get "magic" errors

The pbo is available for inspection @
www.freewebs.com/tunstals/zombus.rar


Here is the config.cpp:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

class CfgPatches
{
class ZombieMod_OverturnedBus
{
units&#91;&#93;={OverTurnedBus};
requiredVersion=1.940000;
};
};


class CfgVehicles
{
class All{};
class Static&#58; All {};
class Building&#58; Static {};
class NonStrategic&#58; Building {};
class TargetTraining&#58; NonStrategic{};
class TargetGrenade&#58; TargetTraining{};

class OverTurnedBus&#58; TargetGrenade
{
access = 2;
model=&#34;&#92;zombus&#92;zombus.p3d&#34;;
displayName=&#34;Zombie Mod - Overturned bus&#34;;
};
};

You still have all the driver/crew proxies left in the model. These are the faces/points that have no texture ("Unmapped"). Also your GeoLod has no properties, components or mass nor your ViewGeoLOD. Time to look at a few modelling tutes.

i inspected this bus in o2 and removed all the parts you dont need as Leone said and wrote a new config.you might want to use the find components feature in the geometry lod too

and it worked fine

LOL&#33;&#33;&#33; yeah... I have already read colonel klinks tutorials and brsseb&#39;s.. also had a wee bit of help from MiG too. I am still a n00b at modelling though

The tutorials didn&#39;t have much in the way of overturned buses lol.

Any more tutorials that I should take a look at? O2 for not quite n00bs but not quite l337?


EDIT:
Checked bus model and there is 10000 mass in Geo Lod. Looks alright to me. I compared it to the original bus model (which was not exported from ODOL explorer.)

Am just removing unmapped textures... will let you know how I get on. Thanks for your help.

[Zombie_Mod]

Fantastic. Worked like a charm.

I created lodnoshadow properties and component01 in named selections, assigning mass to the single component, and it all worked just dandy.

I will credit you guys in the release&#33;&#33;&#33; Thank you&#33;

No problems
