Mu model not being loaded.

[CaptainKipard]

What could be some possible reasons?

The configs and textures are loaded by the game, but the models don't show up in the debug window. The parts also don't show up in the parts list. I would have expected to see invisible parts, but no.

not even in output_log.txt?

I knew I've seen someone complain about this before. I'm getting the exact same error as shown in this thread, but I don't know how I should proceed because I don't know anything about prefabs, and very little about animations. I created one, afaik in the same way as I had for my the non-androgynous docking ports (it's just a spotlight and an emissive light), but this time it's not working.

I replaced the animation with another one that I did for a different light/emissive and KSP loaded the model fine this time. Everything is working as intended, but I still don't know what I did wrong previously.

I found out recently, quite the hard way too, that if UNITY is missing an Animation Controller in your assets, the model will load but won't be visible or available for placement.

you probably created a new one when you remade your animation, thus fixing your problem.

[CaptainKipard]

I don't think so. There's no such thing in the fixed scene.

just one of the many mysteries of game developing I guess.

shouldn't be using Animator + Animation Controller with KSP. They are new in Unity4 and isn't supported by KSP.
