: : Pugi

: If its based off of walkstruct, structure, or zwalkstruct, then the templates not the prob. If you didn't stick a cog in the template, then thats not the problem... Is this the 3do you submited? If not, please send it to me so I can see if maybe its the 3do. And post your part of the template (We don't care about what the one its based off of says.)


Gee, it sounds like this is more or less a common problem! :)

OK, I now have a couple of ideas about this:
- It may NOT be the custom 3DO. It's probably just coincidence or something. At first it seemed to be linked to the 3DO.

- The 3DO itself does not disappear, OTHER 3DOs in the level do. And they are the same ones every time

- The 3DOs fit completely into the same sector. There are about 18 objects in this wide-open sector.

- The template is as follows:
opencrate2 _zwalkstruct size=.272742 movesize=.272742 model3d=openbox.3do

The template is used as follows:
16: opencrate2 opencrate2 -1.69 1.32 .131 0 85 0 1
18: opencrate2 opencrate2 2.35 -.55 .14 0 -45 0 1
20: opencrate2 opencrate2 -.6 -.65 .467 0 45 0 1

Other than that I don't know. Actually, I think this may just be some kind of problem that is unrelated to custom 3DOs. I really am not sure.

If anyone wants to see the JKL and 3DO file, e-mail me and I'll send them to you.
