I cant export Models

[storm-rider]

I created a blaster model using GMax, and i cant export it, when i try to export it using gmax, an error msg box appears. I imported a blaster pistol using kotor tool and then converting it with MDLops, I edited the model, then when i try to export using NWmax i get an error message telling me to check something. Anyone know how i can fix this?

Going to have to be more specific on the error..thanks

^^Yep... a screenshot of your desktop including the error message would be specifically more helpful. What specifically is NWmax asking you to check out?

 

The more info you give, the more likely we can help. Less info = no help.

It's not the sanity check error is it?

 

If it is, you can just ignore that.

Yes it was that, it said something like check the sanity file, firstly i dont have a clue as to what that is, Im new to the modelling stuff, and i still cant export for some reason

 

It displays to msg's, the first is:

 

SanityCheck failed for some models. see the sanity check file for each model.

 

The second msg says:

 

Failed to open file! .GetLastError returned 5.

 

I made a real nice model but had to delete it coz it didnt work, i just created a quick one to get the msg's up again.

Are you linking your new model to an old in-game model's aurorabase or did you just hit "export" after you made your model?

I used a blasterrifle01 something like that, I used mdlops to convert it and opened it in gmax, i then modified the model, i just added some stuff to it, i didnt change anything on the original model just added on to it, i grouped together all my customizations and then linked them to the handle, and then linked the handle to the main part of the weapon, and i then selected everything and tried to export it.

 

I think thats everything, Although once i tried to open my customised model in gmax the modifications had dissappeared. Any help on exporting and how to make the model work would be very helpful, thanks

 

Ok, i've finally figured out how to export, but the problem now is that once i've exported it as a model, and when i try to reopen it in GMax my customisations disappear, I am customising an existing model which is a blaster001.

 

Also how do u know when something has been linked?
