I tihnk my Zmodeler is broken also an major export problem, skip to last post

hlsavior · February 21, 2013

When ever i import any model at all (even vanilla models taken directly from GTA's file) every single dummy is purple. Also, whenever i enter any mode other then the default one (polygon mode, edge mode, etc.) the entire model gets greyed out.

BIG PICTURE TIME!

Obviously this isnt a vanilla model but it happens to them too.

Dude its not zmod, its you.

You need to make sure you select the objects and go into selected mode BEFORE switching modes.

That will fix greyed out issue.

Never experienced the dummy issue, so cannot help you out there D:

Lol thanks, I still am having major problems with the dummies, and by that I mean i cant edit or make any model at all.

make sure you have sliced model selected when you import models

if not then this happens and you dummies are messed up

You need to quadr your shit. Then check "selected mode" and then go in polygon mode

Thanks for the help. Now I'm trying to install a lightbar from Nickie's tutorial. Unfortunately none of the name match up in my light with the ones in the tut. Heres the heiarchies

LIGHTBAR:

CAR ( the top of it ):

Like beckugan said I'll like if you didn't just straight up tell me how to make it work, but give me hints or some shite like that.

huh? what are you on about, his problem was caused by him not having sliced model checked when he imported his models

you would have to merge the parts of wheleninneredge.wft with the parts of polpatriot.wft

there should only be one copy of everything in the heiarchy,

that should be a good enough hint for you

Okay well now I have a new problem (of-f**king-course) Whenever i export my models they crash my game when they load. So I tried opening them in OpenIV and that crashes, but I at least get an error: "EAccessViolation: Access violation at address 009E8E1E in module 'OpenIV.exe'. Read of address 500036C0" So i tried multiple export modes, by that i mean sliced, with textures, and all combination of exports I can but it seems like it just wont work. When I try opening the .wft i got as a base (the unlocked one) it loads fine so I think its a problem with the way I'm exporting.

EDIT: sorry for asking SO MANY question. :P

do you get any errors when exporting the model?

your crashing most likely has something to do with something you did on your part

I have no doubt it is, I dont get nay errors unless i check off 'store textures' then i get errors saying: "file to big to be compressed store in WTD"

Oh sorry, I was looking at it from my phone so they looked like normal dummies. However now I see that he didn't imported his model with sliced mode on

And you should also tick "collisions" and deselect "store textures"

I try that and get same problem, but I'm in school righ now so I'll try again when I get home.

Also, when I try to open my model is SparkIV the model loads and looks fine, even though it crashes gta and OpenIV
