Loading Entities, problem!

[Woodster2003]

OK, im new to mapping, and im trying to put a heavy repeater in my map, but when i get the entity up, there is no skin on it, it just shows up as a red box in the 3d view. Could somebody point me to a tutorial or something? Thanks!

That's how it's supposed to show up in the editor. It'll be fine in game.

[Woodster2003]

I hope your right, last time i put a entity in the map editor, it didnt even show up in the game.

[Woodster2003]

I just tried putting ammo in a level, i loaded everything up, but there was no ammo pack, what is wrong?

[Woodster2003]

OK, i made a map, put a turret chair in the map and it said this "RE_RegisteredMOdel: R_AllocMOdel() failed for 'models/maps.objects/mp/turret.glm'" Any idea what this means? PLEASE REPLY!

You're probably using the SP def files, instead of the MP one like you should be.

 

Go to File > Load Project, and load starwarsmp.qe4

 

Then, close JK2R, restart it, and place your entities again.

 

Should do the trick.

[Woodster2003]

Thanks! I just hope it works.

[Cmdr. Antilles]

Me too!

[Woodster2003]

i dont get a error, but they dont show up, this is so weird.

[Cmdr. Antilles]

None of the pickups show up when you load your map w/ MP entities into JK2 MP?

 

Did you delete the old ones, and replace them after you changed project files?

[Woodster2003]

I didnt delete the old maps i created, do i need to? Anybody know where i can find a tutorial or something?

 

If i already have a good map going before i changed the mp enities thing, do i have to recreat it?

[Woodster2003]

I GOT IT! I FIGURED IT OUT! THANKS! Now is there some way to make the map i was making convert?

[Tigris]

Just open it, delete all the items, replace them with the MP items and you should be going.

[Cmdr. Antilles]

Whoops, guess I wasn't clear enough... Just delete the weapon/ammo/health pickups. Normal brushes, and most func's, triggers, etc are fine, and will transfer over to MP quite nicely.

The only trigger to keep a lookout for is trigger_hurt... if you have any fade-to-death areas in SP (with dmg 500 and FALLING and LOCKCAM flags set) you'll need to remove all the flags and simply set dmg to -1 for MP.
