Problem with similar models in single part folder

[Stone Blue]

Ok, so i have 3 separate, but similar parts, each with it's own .mu and .cfg.... All 3, however, share the same texture...
When I have ALL the files in one folder, all three parts show up in the editor, using the first model. (All 3 parts are EXACTLY the same in-game)

However, if I separate each parts' .mu and .cfg, with a copy of the shared texture, into 3 separate folders, everything works, and the 3 unique models show up in-game...

Anyone have any idea what could be going on?... I was thinking it has to be something with identical naming somewhere... Its not the .cfgs...
Importing the models into Blender, I do see that some of the objects are named the same across the models... I tried renaming everything uniquely, and upon exporting, KSP chokes on the parts, and freezes the loading screen, whether the models are in the same folder, or split up...

These arent originally my models, and I'm very new to modelling...

Any ideas would be quite helpful...

use

MODEL {
model = path/to/mesh           //no dot mu
texture = textureName, path/to/texture         // not necessary if texture is in same folder
}

instead of mesh = model.mu

You can also implement a scale definition into the MODEL{} node:

	MODEL
	{
		model = HGA/TKS/parts/va_capsule
		scale = 0.60976,0.60976,0.60976
	}
	rescaleFactor = 1.0
	scale = 1.0

makes it easy to model in 1:1 real scale in blender and downscale the model to the desired size in KSP (here: 4100mm ->2500mm in game)

Thank you both... @nli2work & @InsaneDruid

However, its not working...

I tried MODEL{}, and now none of the parts show up in game... ???
This is an example from one of the .cfgs:
 

// --- asset parameters ---
    //mesh = mount2.mu
    //scale = 1
    //rescaleFactor = 1.05

    MODEL {
    	model = XXXX\Parts\Propulsion\Radial Mount
    	texture = XXXX\Parts\Propulsion\Radial Mount
		}
    scale = 1
    rescaleFactor = 1.05

I tried both with & without the "texture = "

This is the folder structure:

\XXXX\Parts\Propulsion\Radial Mount

- Mount1.cfg

- mount1.mu
- Mount2.cfg

- mount2.mu

- Mount3.cfg

- mount3.mu

- texture.dds

You forgot to actually put the.mu file name:

model = XXXX\Parts\Propulsion\Radial Mount\mount1 for exemple.

Doh!... Didnt actually forget... More like misunderstood nli2work's example...lol

Unfortunately, they STILL dont show up ingame even after the correction...

I've also doubllechecked against some other mods, specifically Fuel Tanks Plus, that have multiple parts in the same folder, sharing models & textures... ???

It have to do with your path, may be that space in " Radial Mount " is causing some trouble.

GRrrrrrrrr..... Nope, not that either...
Checking logs again right now...

[Hary R]

wait a minute,try it that way:

model = XXXX/Parts/Propulsion/RadialMount/mount1

instead of  model = XXXX\Parts\Propulsion\Radial Mount\mount1

Necro'd...

Yup... OMG...I'm such a noob!!...

Had backslashes instead of forward... DoH!

Working now... FINALLY!!...

Several noob mistakes/issues learned in just this one thread...
THANK YOU ALL!

I'm glad it worked, and yes you have to use slash for you paths, I don't know why i didn't noticed it earlier.

[Stone Blue]

Me either...It was right there in nli2works's AND InsaneDruid's posts, AND I was scouring other mods' .cfgs for examples... Just my plain noobness missing it...lol

Again, THANX @Hary R
