Problem with vectors while loading part

[gooddog15]

I've been having weird issue with loading one of my parts in game. The debug says that "Vector3" is not formatted properly:

I don't think it's a problem with my config, as I've checked the definitions that include vectors, and everything checks out.

}

Does anyone know what could be causing the issue?

In your MODEL node, the scale needs to have three variables.

MODEL
{
model = TechnicalDynamics/Parts/Minotaur1/M55
scale = 1, 1, 1
texture = MinotaurMasterNew , TechnicalDynamics/Parts/Minotaur1/MinotaurMasterNew   // if this is in the same directory as the model, you don't need this line
}

Thank you. This got rid of the vector issue. but now I'm getting a format exemption:

My only guess is that scale needs to be the last thing in the node. Maybe take the spaces out between the commas in the scale line but I've never noticed that matter.

thank you for replying so fast.

I'm still getting the error.

Try retyping the MODEL node from scratch. Whatever the problem is, I'm not seeing it. Maybe something inadvertently got altered when you changed it.

Copy and Paste the new one up here if it doesn't resolve, and if you don't mind.

Edit: I do see something!

fx_smokeTrial_meadium = 0.0, 0.153, 0.0, 0.0, -1.0, 0.0, active
should be (I think anyway)
fx_smokeTrail_medium = 0.0, 0.153, 0.0, 0.0, -1.0, 0.0, active

Yep, that smoketrail has a typo.

If that doesn't solve it, try adding decimal notation to the scale. Like:

scale = 1.0, 1.0, 1.0

Sometimes it's incredibly picky. I think they fixed it, but it used to be that a "scale" statement without a "MODEL" block would work as an integer, but used outside and in conjunction with a "MODEL" block would require it to be decimal. All of my scales use decimals now, to avoid further problems. (these external scales use a single number, not 3 axes)

EDIT: Also, you can have problems like this with an extraneous dot somewhere. Like having a number such as "1..0" or "1.0."
