New here, having trouble with a map.

[Sparroe]

Hi,

Not sure if this belongs here, but I'm a bit confused with mapping on my lan-only server.

I've downloaded a racetrack map, but it came in a bunch of .dff's and .col's. I've added custom cars and such to my server before, so I tried to add these files the same way. When I went into the map editor for my server to add the track, I couldn't find the models anywhere.

Clearly, I've done something wrong. Can anyone help?

Thanks.

You can check all the mods by press F5 in the map editor and spawning the moded vehicle.

Yes, but how can I spawn in modded objects and such?

How did you added the models? Post the code.

Apologies in advance for any mistakes I've made. I don't really know what I'm doing.

Object lua (This part's probably wrong)

  
function object() 
    txd = engineLoadTXD ( "object.txd" ) 
        engineImportTXD ( txd, 3914 ) 
        engineImportTXD ( txd, 3911 ) 
        engineImportTXD ( txd, 3905 ) 
        engineImportTXD ( txd, 3907 ) 
        engineImportTXD ( txd, 3906 ) 
    col = engineLoadCOL ( "object1.col" ) 
    col1 = engineLoadCOL ( "object2.col" ) 
    col2 = engineLoadCOL ( "object3.col" ) 
    col3 = engineLoadCOL ( "object4.col" ) 
    col4 = engineLoadCOL ( "object5.col" ) 
    dff = engineLoadDFF ( "object1.dff", 0 ) 
    dff1 = engineLoadDFF ( "object2.dff", 0 ) 
    dff2 = engineLoadDFF ( "object3.dff", 0 ) 
    dff3 = engineLoadDFF ( "object4.dff", 0 ) 
    dff4 = engineLoadDFF ( "object5.dff", 0 ) 
    engineReplaceCOL ( col, 3914 ) 
    engineReplaceCOL ( col1, 3911 ) 
    engineReplaceCOL ( col2, 3905 ) 
    engineReplaceCOL ( col3, 3907 ) 
    engineReplaceCOL ( col4, 3906 ) 
    engineReplaceModel ( dff, 3914 ) 
    engineReplaceModel ( dff1, 3911 ) 
    engineReplaceModel ( dff2, 3905 ) 
    engineReplaceModel ( dff3, 3907 ) 
    engineReplaceModel ( dff4, 3906 ) 
    engineSetModelLODDistance(3914, 2000) 
    engineSetModelLODDistance(3911, 2000) 
    engineSetModelLODDistance(3905, 2000) 
    engineSetModelLODDistance(3907, 2000) 
    engineSetModelLODDistance(3906, 2000) 
end

You don't have the script added to meta.xml

Alright, I added it, but now the console is giving m a new error.

"attempt to call global 'engineLoadTXD' (a nil value)"

Place it client side,

[Sparroe]

Place it client side,

That fixed the errors but the objects still aren't being replaced. Are the objects meant to be in there own separate resource? Or do I just keep them inside the map folder?

Edit: I've somehow figured it out myself. Thanks for all the help guys.

[denny199]

Np, I wanted to say today that you can try it in a different resource, since you are testing in map editor.
