problem with elite corps models in 1.5

Post by belriose »

I tried to remake the elite corps mode for BZ1.5, but when I put the EC models into the game I got the following error (e.g. in case of soviet heavy tank):
"Can't find parent sht1_col for object sht11bda" .
I remember the ***1_col object was the collision box which DX added to the 3Dmax models before he converted them from 3Dmax to VDF+GEO. But the collision box was never exported as a GEO file as far as I remember. However, it worked in 1.4, but no more in 1.5.
Unfortunately, I can't find the original 3Dmax models anymore.
Is there some quick workaround? I tried to copy the ***11bda.geo and rename it to ***1_col.geo, but it didn't help.

Can't find parent sht1_col for object sht11bda

The col is disguarded and represented in the vdf so it can't be used asa parent object, i now add dummyroots on the models.

I'll fix it when i have some time.

Any other models have the same issue?

Give these a try, also you'll need to add the basename = "aecarr" etc.. in all the odf's.
I provided the renamed map files with the vdf/geo files.
