I have inserted a position, a hollow cube and have textured it. Then i have run it. Worked fine. I could see the hollow cube.

Then i have removed the hollow cube, have inserted a mesh, and rotated the Position to look at the wall. I have of course saved and clicked at Build before i clicked the Run button. But when i run the level i see nothing. Why? What am i missing?

It´s loading the correct level via script?

You imported a model as level?

If (yes)
{
Which format?
}
else
{
ignore
}

Thanks for looking

MDL7

I had the same mesh in another project, and use it as level. And there it displays fine. But not in this fresh created level here.

I have never before made much with the WED. So i'm a bit lost. Am still a beginner anyways. But now i have to dive into the WED. I want to find out why my other project totally ignores any light. It stays default no matter how much lights i throw in or what i change under map properties.

But that's another story. First i need to display the Mesh so that i can test lighting at all.

Just in case, here is the level with both, the hollow cube and the mesh inside, 2.87 Mb

Cube shows, mesh not

I added Sun Ambient via File -> Map Properties under "Sun". Then i changed the Texture Format of your model to 24bit. That didn´t help, so i exported it with MED to .fbx format. Then i imported the .fbx file in WED. Now everything works, also the lights i placed.

You can downlaod the modified version here. Hope you got 7.10

Yup, have. Thanks alot

Still, what is wrong with the MDL7 version? It worked in another level, it displays in the 3D view. Why not here in the running level?

I really don´t know i fixed the most common problem with the 32bit setting in MED but that didn´t help. Maybe you should use another picture format. pcx for example. Try that

Okay, thanks

as far as i know you have to have a hollow cube in a level for it to work right..

make sure a few things here... You have saved the game (Most important)
- Next make sure you have a script on the game (If you go to file/map properties, next to script it says something)
- Next if you saved the game in a different location, make sure the script file is in the same location
- If you started with a blank script you need to have the lines:

And that should solve the problem

Thanks guys. But this has nothing to do with a wrong script or a hollow cube. It's this specific mesh not displaying.

You can run a completely blank level from within the WED without attaching any script. It uses a standard movement then. And content gets of course displayed, even without a hollow cube around. What not got displayed was this specific mesh.

Many thanks for the help

EDIT, correction, now i get it. Log2, you're right, MDL files needs to be loaded by script. How could i forget that. Aww, i totally mixed things here
