I have a problem that one of my models is staying unlit. I looked at the properties but can't see where to change this.
It shows up fine in MED and in the WED editor but when I run it, its just black.

What could the problem be?
Sorry for the noobness.

You need a skin on it.(UV Mapped texture)

Hi Nemisis.

It is skinned. I did a skin for it and applied it in MED. Maybe I'm doing something wrong in MED?

If the model with skin is above a certin size it gets the unlit flag set to on by default by the engine if I remember correctly. Even if you have not set it to that in WED (edited). I think you have to give the model an action in which you add the line my.unlit = off;

cheers

Thanks tindust I will have a look at that.
My texture size is 512 X 512 BTW.

..and the extension? .bmp, pcx, tga ?
Seems strange as this is the usual indicator for no skin applied or wrong size (not power of 2 but you say 512 x 512 anyway).

Other wise try tindust's suggestion but go thru WED first, properties for the object, deselect unlit if it is selected.

Do you have another model youve tried with?

I tried .bmp and .pcx.

I made a quick sphere and applied a texture and it was working fine. Tried that texture on my model and it was still unlit.
went back and re did it with a quick uV and it comes up.

I think what the issue was is that I UV mapped it using Polygons BEFORE I made it into triangles.
It's working now, so I suppose I will have tu UV MAP my model again :-/
At least it's working now

Thanks for the help guys.

Cool, you got it sorted, generally you need to reapply UV's if you haven't exported it with the model from your modeling app to Gstudio.

I find MED a little confusing so I might just use fragMotion as I use Lightwave to model and animate. I don't see a Lightwave to MDL anywhere.

No but A.Russel may have something on that if you can get a hold of him, he used Lightwave for his Pachincko a Go Go game.
Cheers.
