Hey,
I've made my own building, of which is implemented into renegade using interior, door & mct proxies.
I got the proxies to work first time, alligned perfectly!
However, just when I thought I got the MCT to work perfectly, I ran into a little trouble.. Whats That

Basically, the MCT displays fine in Level Editor, but ingame, its there, only invisible...(as you can see below..)

I'm a little confused as to why this is happening..?
I followed the two tutorials on renhelp (for MCT's) word by word, so I'm at a dead end now!
Advanced Building Tutorial - http://renhelp.co.uk/?tut=42
MCTs and PTs - http://renhelp.co.uk/?tut=56

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

Andy

Can you see it at certain angles in-game? If so it's most likely a VIS problem.

With it being in such a confind space of the MCT, its hard to do different angles, but I have tried as much as possible to see if it appears, but still nothing...

Im almost positive I had this problem when setting up the MCT's in C&C_Titanic

Just go over the presets very carefully and make sure you set them up right.....either tha tor the tutorial was missing something you needed to do.

If I can remember what the fix is...I'll be sure to post it.

If you want go ahead and extract the .ddb from my level and examine the MCT preset.

Well, i just had this problem with the Hand of nods barracks, I did nothing to fix it. In fact, after I rexported my interior, It was fixed.

Try rexporting the interior terrain. Possibley add a Manual VIS sample inside the building aswell. Do this by walking into the area in LE and pressing CTRL + ~.

If he hasnt generated VIS ...a manual point will do nothing.

Make sure you name the preset the same name as the .w3d

"Vis" isn't an acronym you idiots... It's an abbreviation for visibility rendering.

Problems Solved.

For my building, I used the same naming convention as Westwood's models.
I had 2 presets named the same, thus being ingame, but not visible.

Once I renamed the exterior, interior and the mct naming convention to one of my own, it began to work fine.

Thanks for your help you guys!

Andy.
