Custom model file. where it goes? - Daemian - 12-20-2012

Hello,

I modified the model
entities\organic\corpse_male\corpse_male.ent

so that player can move the object, it's named
entities\organic\corpse_male\corpse_male_movable.ent

what's the correct location for custom files like this one?
any of this?
custom_stories\[cs_name]\models\
custom_stories\[cs_name]\entities\organic\corpse_male\
custom_stories\[cs_name]\models\extramodels\

thank u ppl

Your second location that you suggested would work. Well, all of those would work, the second one just makes the most sense (to me).

Basically, make sure that corpse_male_movable.ent is somewhere in your custom story folder, then in the level editor, use the modified file.

There is no correct location except that it should be at least somewhere in your custom story's folder. It's up to you how you want to organize your custom story's folder.

Thank you. But somehow it doesn't work.

i moved the file:
entities\organic\corpse_male\corpse_male_movable.ent

to:
[cs_name]\Entities\corpse_male\corpse_male_movable.ent



and now the body is gone, i placed several bodies around to test, saved the map, reloaded, and nothing. empty floor.




this image shows that the path is correct and the entity is visible on the editor

am i missing something ?

edit: the "test" folder name is correct. it's where i test.
edit2: the folder "custom_stories\test\Entities\corpse_male" contains only the file "corpse_male_movable.ent" is that ok?

Try "entities" instead "Entities". Also, watch out for map_cache's, if there are so delete them.


RE: Custom model file. where it goes? - Your Computer - 12-20-2012

Go into your maps folder and delete any map_cache files and then test the map again in the game.
