Adding PLCS...
« on: October 29, 2011, 09:39:17 pm »


               I'm having a bit of trouble. The items are listed in the appearnace menu in the toolset, but actually trying to use them shows that there's not a model at all. I opened nwn hak, added the files as one hak, added my 2da lines to placeables2da ... but nothing is showing up.

               This tells me the required files for the particular placeable, dds, tga, mdl, pwk, as examples, are not in the hak.

The quickest way to verify this is to open up your modified placeables.2da file. Find the new lines for these particular missing placeables. Make a note of the ModelName line for this placeable.

Search your hak for a matching filename.

Here's an example:

4000        msigns_v_150                ****     msigns_v_150


The forth entry of the placeables.2da is msigns_v_150, which is the ModelName category.

So one would reference this and look for -

msigns_v_150.dds
msigns_v_150.mdl
msigns_v_150.pwk

FP!

               As far as I can tell they're in it. I'm stumped. Some work, some don't. The CC monthly team's stuff doesn't.

               Quick sanity check - do you have another hak ahead of this one in the list that has a placeables.2da in it?

               Also, lines 902 and 986 of the placeables.2da you supplied  have lines 1903 and 1987 globbed on the end of them essentially making those lines invalid.  This could also screw up the internal numbering.

               Question regarding the message you receive in the toolset when selecting a placeable that is not showing up.

Is the preview window simply grey or do you receive the following when selecting it?

Error
The selected model does not exist. Please choose another one.

FP!

               I get these on the errors, depending on which plc I select. Fixing those lines mentioned didn't solve the main issue.

The selected model does not exist. Please choose another one.

               The files associated with the placeable do not exist in the hak.

You can easily test this by loading up the demo module provided in the custom content releases. Errors there or not? Although you're saying you think you've copied all the content over into your own haks from the custom content haks, the error you receive is saying otherwise.

FP!

               I'm confused then.. I was using nwnhak to merge the plc haks with our plc hak... and in the case of the custom content group, manually adding the files from the material in the downloads.

               Tiberius is likely spot on... the 2da is botched, and that's likely jacked up your internal numbering.

Crap, looks like I missed Tiberius' second post. Sorry for wasting your time Jenna. Now you can fix your 2da and move on.

Is it more than those mentioned lines or something else about the file?

               Line 902, 986, 1001. All of those lines had too many or too few columns. Once I fixed that at least the 2da was valid. I don't know about the plcs.

You also may wish to consider making your index line up with your line numbers again, very confusing to edit and locate problems when you're unsure what line you're actually on.
