When WrpTool Says p3d Not in ODOL format

[Mr.Peanut]

Okay. So I depbo Chernobyl Island to add an English translation of the place names. I load it up in WrpTool and everything is fine except for five p3d it says are NOT in ODOL format. I then peek into each of these and they do have the magic word ODOL. What could be going wrong here?

If I tried to recompile the wrp, would these p3d be missing?

Well, i don't see what you mean by "they have the magic word ODOL", but WRP needs binarized addons (ie ODOL models) to display their geometric shape correctly when you try to place them on the map.

If I tried to recompile the wrp, would these p3d be missing?

I'm quite sure there won't be any problems.

The first four characters in the file are "ODOL". I also thought maybe they had not been binarized but O2 would not open them, which left me confused.

Mmm, maybe they are "bad objects" with Geo lod troubles (when you binarize models, error messages warn you about some troubles in geo lod when there are some, like "bad components" etc.).

Did you try to repack the map and see what happens ?

[Mr.Peanut]

They work fine in a repack, thank goodness.
