hey!
can you tell me how to insert vehicles saved in .glm file??
i kno its possible...
for example on map NABOO HILLS there is vehicle N1 saved in .glm file
PLZ answer me


THX

Are you wanting it as a vehicle or a static model?

vehicle

In the entity window for the vehicle, isn't there a "file" key or equivalent? If so, try manually entering the glm file path and seeing if it works.

dont work :(

Can you insert the model ok as a normal model? (misc_model)

I know this isn't what you're looking for, but let's try this one step at a time.

not workin :(

ok. e-mail me the GLM file to zandir[at]moxby.org.uk and I'll see if I can get it into a map *nods*

If I can't then maybe there's something wrong with the actual GLM file.

:)

You really need to be able to convert it to MD3 though if possible... I think GMax does it with a plugin, but I can't really remember.

I've received your e-mail. It is a Jedi Starfighter you're trying to get to work, yes?

yea, but i reskined it

That's ok, I think I have to edit the vehicles.dat file to include it, but I'm not sure... as it's the JediStarFighter.veh which needs to function.

If I get it working I'll e-mail you. :)

maaaaaaaan really thx

by the way
i have prblems with plant models from nar_shadaa
i put it on my map and when i lunch it i cant see leaves only some kind of oval thing
sry im not good at english

so anyone know what the problem??

Many people have had the Nar Shadaa plant problem, but I don't even remember if there was a solution. I had to pick a different model last time I tried to use it.

ok

oh and prosze, give me a few days to sort this out. I'm ill and busy... not a good combination. I promise I'll get back to you :)

For the plant, use a misc_model_static.

k thx
ill be waiting :D

by the way

set NPC_type to vehicle name in vehicles.dat

It's this that bugs me. It should be fairly simple if we can locate vehicles.dat, add the JediStarFighter entry and then simply set the NPC_type.

But I can't find a vehicles.dat in the whole JA folder nor in the assets....

Anyone else any ideas?

nope
:(

I dont think there IS a vehicles.dat in JA. That is only for JK2. In JA all vehicles are done with .veh files and .npc files. And custom weapons are done with .vwp files I believe. You have to dit te .veh file to use your new model instead of the old one, there is a line in the file that says model "". You should also change the name, etc in the veh and npc file so that it is your custom vehicle instead of called what the old vehicle is. Also be sure to use the VH_FIGHTER as the vehicle type because it soundlike this is suposed to be a starfighter ship. IF you use something else it will work like a speeder, tauntaun, atst, etc. .NPC files are stored in the: ext_data/npc folder, and vehicles are stored in the ext_data/vehicles folder. Weapons for vehicles are stored in the ext_data/vehicles/weapons folder. JA can only have a certain number of custom vehicles before it stops working though so I would try not to use your custom vehicle if you can.

This is the content of the JediStarFighter.veh

There is also a JediStarFigther.npc

The question is, if we set NPC_type to JediStarFighter... is it supposed to work?

Or should it be water_fighter?

Does the fact that the filename doesn't match the definition make a difference? :confused:

water_starfighter.

And filenames don't mean [wedge].

so
any ideas how to put it into map??

put an NPC_Vehicle entity in and set the key "NPC_Type" to "water_starfighter"...
