Export to OBJ.. Not DAE

[rkirk77]

A small hint for those who are new to making mods. Export your file to the OBJ format.. not DAE.. it will save you from bashing your head a lot.

The virtal progression of emotions --> ;D > :( 8) ??? : ;P :-[ :-X :-\ :-* :\'(

Also, don\'t forget to change the model\'s file extension from .DAE to .OBJ in the .CFG file!! (Guess who did that a few times?)

PS, MUCH THANKS to C7Studios for all the help he has given me!

Funny thing, the Wiki\'s tutorials recommend exactly the other thing because of supposed problems with obj files for some people.

I have had NO problems whatsoever.. It works perfectly bot in PartLab and In-Game!

Yes, but apparently it\'s not the case for everyone, while DAE has given no problems (that I know of) to anyone. What problems did you have with DAE anyway? I never had a hitch with the FBX_DAE exporter...

Never had the key thing, but the other thing I see nothing wrong with it: it\'s just telling you that some information (which is completely irrelevant to the game, only to modellers) is going to be lost in the transition from the highly enriched base format the program use to the Collada format.

It never loaded..
