Alright.... I am quite new to modding vehicles, but I am currently working on a vehicle, els mapped and all, and I export it and make a texture .wtd with all of the textures included in that file and they have no file size and when I put them ingame they cant spawn. Does anyone know what is wrong.

At some point I will go to Zmodeler forums and ask but idk if they know much about ELS Mapping ect.

Thanks, And Please Help,

Is zmodeler exporting the file without any errors? If it has errors it will still show the file in the destination you exported it to but because it had errors the file isn't there. Its like saving a word document with no text inside. So if there are errors they will show up in the bottom box in zmodeler. Example below. Thats an error because two parts are named the same thing. It will tell you what you have duplicates of. Sometimes if your making copies of things, other parts will get copied to like bodyshell_L0 or chassis_L0. Just erase all the duplicates until one remains along with L1. Be careful with the names though because some things have to be named what they are. Like the ELS Lights have to be extra 1-9. This happened to me mostly with the "misc" folders/files. Just have to find a letter that isn't used to go after misc_ I'm not guaranteeing this is the answer to your problem but its a place to start checking. Hope it helps.

Hmm.... That seems like the problem, Cause I get a very simmilar error, but I cant get rid of it doing what you said above.

This is the error I get:

Object "police.wft" was not found. Whole scene will be exported.

Error collecting export data. file:GTAIVExport.cpp line:94

Duplicate instances of part "chassis" found. file:GTAIVExport.cpp lin

What should I do? Any ideas?

Thanks for the effort on helping!

I do have some ideas. Take a look at the photo below, The duplicates of the "chassis are probably going to be located where the red arrow is at the bottom of the hierarchy. Delete any duplicates down there until only the ones by the blue arrow and brackets remain. You want chassis_L0, chassis_L1 and chassis_L2 to stay. Don't delete the chassis[COL] at the bottom, you need that its the collision for the car.

now for the "scene not found" when you hit export and the window pops up you need to type in the name exactly as it is by the green arrow on the left. That way it exports everything in that folder. As you can see i've typed it in exactly by the purple arrow. Make sure "collision" and sliced model are ticked and store textures is not. Hit export and this should solve your issue. It may give you another error about duplicates and if it does just find them and delete them. If this helps I would appreciate a !

Alright that fixed the errors but I still cant spawn it in game... Any ideas?

Are you getting RC20 errors and it crashes to desktop or the game runs fine and it just wont' spawn?

The game runs fine but its unable to spawn the object

Hmmm, does the file have size to it now that there are no more errors? Should be around 3.5MB? Did you create your .wtd correctly? adding all the textures you used in zmodeler, no need to add vehshare files though. I have to go for awhile, feel free to PM me if you want to, otherwise I'll check the thread when I come back on
