Model disappearing

Recommended Posts

To our modelers:

I've created a statue of the Werebeast for my current WIP.

It works fine, except if you look at it and start look up, it disappears. Looking down, left or right doesn't cause the problem.

What aspect of the model causes this to happen? I suspect I have to increase the size of something, but I don't know what that is.

Thanks.

I remember this happening with md5meshes long, long ago.  Don't remember what caused it or if it's related.

If the statue should just be in the default position you could export it as an .ase model. No need for the extra complexity of a ragdoll underneath the hood.

Thats a strange one, can you give me the coordinates in your map and Ill have a look? Sounds like what stagatilov mentioned, whacky matrix on something.

The entity's name is atdm_env_ragdoll_werebeast_steele_1, but it doesn't look rotation-hacked and doesn't have special settings otherwise.

That solved the problem. The new model stays fully painted from all view angles, even when using the spyglass.

Thanks!

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
