Why does my catapult have to be so complicated...

Rockymods · Post by **Rockymods** » Fri Jul 20, 2007 10:52 am

For some reason my catapult always looks like this when I load it! I nulled the attachments but still it looks like this..

How do I stop it from stacking like that... I just want one catapult.

try using a different shader and using the same bitmap. if you still don't like the way it looks, try swapping the stem's in the shader

did you mess with the weapon of the vehicle at all? The only think i can think of is that the the vehicle weapon has the same hlmt as the vehicle.

If I am correct, you used the warthog right? Well if you did, you probably changed the turret's model to the catapult model.

probably, or the spectre, since the turret is placed a little backward and downwards

No... I used the wraith and I nulled all the attachments. Tested, it still stacked like that. Btw there are exactly four stacked up if anyone can figure out what the wraith loops 4 times. Now I have reattached the mortar and nulled its shader so I could actually shoot with the catapult. These pictures you see here was when the mortar was nulled including all the other attachments.

Strange LOD error?

If I view it on entity's model viewer it is just the one catapult.

Hey rocky, when i skin the models i have to re inject them, so ill try my best later.

Try nulling the textures that are in the model, then swap the Main shader only

P.s. that looks awsome!

This isn't a shader problem. There are four parts to a wraith

WingL-WingR-Body-Rudders... There are two rudders which make 5 but there are only 4... Anyway, if I could just figure what tag is referring to those I could null them out. But I just can't find it. It is becoming very frustrating.

try re-injecting the model, but only inject the model on the main part and make the rest of them blank models or very small ones so they don't show up in the game
