My car crashes game

I've converted a Porsche Panamera from FM3, and whenever I put the file into the game, it freezes even before it gets to that first menu. I can't figure it out. I compared it with other succesfully converted cars (STC_F430) and I didn't find any missing files, except for the BREAK files (which I heard are not needed). Please help! I haven't successfully converted one car because of crashing problems when the my cars are put into the game!

You claim no files are missing. If this is so, then I'm positive that you made many converting errors in ZM.

Please upload your files and share them with us here so we can further diagnose the problem. :wink:

Your error:

default_H:m
cover_H:m
badge_H:m
glass_H:m

Make them all one object by selecting them all in ZMODELER and press the hotkey U then make it BODY_H ;)

And I told you to fix that last time buddy, so if you want to learn then you have to actually take advice...

As I've replied you in PM too, check the Silent1Unknown's car making tutorial, the part about the model preparing for MM2, the topic is also here. But this time, use the version 2 of the tutorial, and check the PDF file about the car objects names and types, that's what you really need to fix the model converting. As Aaro reports and I'd noticed too, you have unused objects names, and also if they get ignored by the game, they can be a problem for the car working.

Again, upload the car so we can take a look at it ;)

The download link is above. The car is also openable with WinRAR or 7-Zip. I also submitted it to Franch88, but that was before I combined the body parts.

Why hasn't anyone said that the wheels aren't named properly? The proper naming convention is "WHL#_H:m" not "W#_H:m"

I'm gonna see if I can get this fixed ;)

UPDATE:

Alright, everything has been properly renamed in ZModer. HOWEVER, you are in charge of mapping the materials to everything and getting it ready to be put in game, I just renamed everything and made sure it was named correctly. Here is my fixed version (Z3D file included :wink:)

Please note, I did NOT export it for the game. Those are the files you had uploaded that were broken. You are going to need to get it ready for the game, but otherwise everything has been named properly. I also want you to make a much more simple BOUND next time, I have fixed it -

This will work perfectly in MM2. It does not need to be complex ;)

Please be more careful next time!

Thanks, I'll fix it up.

I just tried, and the link is broken. Could you upload to 4shared?

It can't be broken. That's a direct link to download from my OpenDrive account...I'm not logged in right now and it had a pop-up window to either "Open With" or "Save"
