Hi some of my models are faulty how can i make them ok models thanks.

If you could post your errors in another thread, one of us can help you much easier.

The fixes are usually pretty simple with problems being config.txt file typographic errors, missing textures, or sometimes textures that are compressed and shouldn't be.

Without details of the exact errors, we cannot tell you how to fix the errors. The thread I linked to above has the details on how to fix the common errors, and what you need to do.

Right-click the asset in Content Manager and use View Errors and Warnings.

1) Ignore the warnings as they do not affect the game performance, usually.

2) Open the asset using Windows Explorer.
Right-click on the asset and choose Open with Windows Explorer.

An Explorer window will open showing the config.txt and a bunch of tga files and such.

3) Check to see that shiney.tga actually exists.

4) If it does not exist, delete the shiney.texture.txt file.
5) Do the same for the start/black.tga (you'll have to open the start folder to see this one).
6) Close the Windows Explorer window
7) Press Ctrl+M on your keyboard to commit the asset.

Look for errors again. If there's none, then you're all set.

This is pretty much it for fixing most of these problems.

Where do i open the window explorer thing and please note i am new to doing this

 

[shaneturner12]

Right-click the asset in Content Manager, then select Edit, then Edit in Explorer.

Note that you must have a certain amount of familiarity with file management in order to fix assets.

Does the black texture exist in the folder specified?

Sometimes the creator has placed the texture in the wrong folder. If it is in another folder for the same asset, then copy it into the one where the error is indicating. This is a common error with multiple folders and the same textures.

On your red texture... Does that texture exist in the folder?

If it does exist, then you may need to run PEVSoftware's PM2IM. You can download the tools here:

I recommend you download all of the tools.

Ignore the warnings.

It's looking for a black.tga - check other assets by the same author.

Shane

P.S. Use View Errors and Warnings for error information, not the info that appears when committing an asset.

Does Assets mean other models
