NGE vehicle to Pre-CU server

[Kelvoks]

Hi, I'm new on this site and would like to say "Please, excuse me for my poor English"
I hope you will understand me.

I m trying to import a vehicle from the NGE to my Pre-CU server and i have some problems with this

I have already make a .tre files with all part of the"Sith_speeder"
I have put it on my server and my client.

I have modified .lua files (in custom_contents/tangible, intangible and mobile's folders) on my server too.

But when I enter the command for give me the Deed, it's not working.

A text appeared and tell me "Templates must be tangible objects, or descendants of tangible objects, only"

So i don't really understand what I need to do for fix that.

I'm not a programmer or devlopper.

If you have a solution can you explain to me step by step please ?

Thanks.

Ha! I have actually been dealing with this same problem just last night, with this same exact speeder. I have not found a solution, but I did discover that if you try to give the player control device directly to a character, you kind of sort of break that character forever.

From what I can tell, the problem with this vehicle, and a few others like it, is that it's deed is not a normal vehicle_deed deed, but instead is in the TCG directory.

I personally reedited it to point to the correct directory, as I mistakenly put it towards any other deed (and the server reported it could not find the file, as expected, during power-up.) however with the proper directory, I tried to spawn the deed, but got the error you got, and the server console reported that it could not find any more tokens for that item. I have the file in the objects crc list iff file, but it seems like it doesn't recognize it, or is too unfamiliar with the directory.

If anyone could shed some light on how to properly add TCG content, it would be much appreciated!

You have to rename it to remove the token dependcy or create a new deed for it all togther.

I have rename object/tangible/deed/vehicle_deed/shared_vehicle_deed_sith_speeder.iff

in

object/tangible/deed/vehicle_deed/shared_sith_speeder_deed.iff

etc etc ...

I paid attention to the server terminal and I think it don't want to inclued my custom content files

I need to check if I have added to the CRC template this 3 lines on my server

object/tangible/deed/vehicle_deed/sith_speeder_deed.iff

object/intangible/vehicle/sith_speeder_pcd.iff

object/mobile/vehicle/sith_speeder.iff

I'm sure I have already did it for my client... but not the server

You also have to hex edit the name in the deed.

I have check the server's terminal and I tryed to copy some line and i got that.

I have some "WARNING" when I launch my serv , I think it's trying to find this SHARED BASE VIHECLE but i don t really now why he cant find it.

Some ideas ?

 

[kissofdarknes]

when you build a tre out of nge items go through and delete the useless junk like bases pixel_program and vertex_program and also make sure lod file appearance/lod says 007 instead of 008

 

[Kelvoks]

I don t know how to find 007 or 008 when i open my .lod on sytner iff editor ... it could resolve a lot of problem if it can be change easly xD

Hi guys. I tried giving this a go with an AT-RT but I seem to be stuck in the same spot; whenever I try to /object createitem the deed I get "Templates must be tangible objects, or descendants of tangible objects, only".

I followed the directions from http://www.modthegalaxy.com/forums/thread-guide-content-adding-the-barc-to-the-emu-core3 with changing the names of the files to reference the AT-RT.

For the deed I used a copy of the barc from the MTG Objects tre, renamed it to walker1_deed. I opened it with SIE and changed "ObjectName...pet_deed..barc_speeder." to "ObjectName...pet_deed..walker1. I next changed "detailedDescription...pet_deed..barc_speeder." to "detailedDescription...pet_deed..walker1." I did add the walker1 to my CRC file along with the PCD and Mobile files.

Am I going about this the right way? I'm really not sure how to hex edit. Did I miss something?
