Help..

[manve1]

I created a script to replace my made 3d object in mta, but everytime i replace the object my mta crashes, is there any solution how to re-make it?

dff = engineLoadDFF( 'warehouse.dff', 17697 ) 
engineReplaceModel( dff, 17697 ) 

(( sry if wrong section ))

Do you have "Warehouse.dff" and "Warehouse.col" available? Those files are needed most of the time to replace a model or it will lag people out, or it will make your game crash like you said.

If you need any additional help, feel free to contact me.

[manve1]

i got the dff file, but not always you need a col shape, and how to create a col shape?

p.s. Im using 3d's max

[GerardWay]

function Replace 
txd = engineLoadTXD ( "warehouse.txd" ) 
engineImportTXD ( txd, 17697 ) 
dff = engineLoadDFF ( "warehouse.dff", 17697 ) 
engineReplaceModel ( dff, 17697 ) 
end 
addEvent ( "replaceModel", true ) 
addEventHandler ( "replaceModel", getRootElement(), Replace ) 

Make sure to add Warehouse.dff and Warehouse.txd into the SAME folder as your script. Not in a seperate folder.

If this fails to work, post your Meta.xml File.

[Baseplate]

txd = engineLoadTXD ( "warehouse.txd" ) 
engineImportTXD ( txd, 17697 ) 
dff = engineLoadDFF ( "warehouse.dff", 17697 ) 
engineReplaceModel ( dff, 17697 ) 

This is enough, but why did you add an event? and you forgot () at the function in line 1

You made the warehouse.txd and warehouse.dff yourself ?

[manve1]

Yes

[Baseplate]

Did you test them on Single player? if yes, do they work good?

[manve1]

#Edit: Tested on single player, it crashes aswell, is there a way to fix this?

To replace the object worlds need make .dff and .txd and .col to be work fine else will make it crash

[Anderl]

Guess I saw something about having to change the DFF to work in GTA, I'd search a lil the forums.

You're wrong, as for example, i replaced vehicles, peds, few world objects and no crash

Guess I saw something about having to change the DFF to work in GTA, I'd search a lil the forums.

I seen them too, but still no luck, as i created mine from scratch

[mjau]

Well if it dont work in singleplayer it got to be something wrong with your files.

[50p]

Describe how you export your files and how you verify they are valid files. You can use DFF viewer to see if your model is valid. Collision File Editor to check your .col files and G-TXD or TXD Workshop to validate your .txd files.

[manve1]

how to make Col shapes?

as TXD is good, DFF is good and idk how to make Col

Picture of DFF check:

Pic of TXD check:

[50p]

If you're using 3DS Max then you can create COL within 3DS Max. You can check youtube for tutorials if you want to.

[manve1]

Is there a link you recomend, as i can't find a youtube vid

[50p]

[manve1]

I used that video to help me, but it still didn't create a proper col shape and crashed me

[50p]

You must be doing something wrong. Every step is important. Describe what you're doing step by step.

[manve1]

i made collision file a few times,, but still no luck, would it be a problem if i used sketchup 8 to create the model and then get it on 3ds max > make the same thing as on the video?

[50p]

It doesn't really matter where you get the model from. As long as it's a 3D mesh converted to editable poly/mesh. I still can't tell you what you're doing wrong. If the game crashes even single player then files must be corrupted. The dff seems fine as it loads in DFF viewer. TXD also looks fine. Have you tried to load these without .col?

[manve1]

I did try without COL, still gives me crash, mind a taking a look at all 3 of them?
