[solved] unity not exporting texture

[O.R.C]

I have started to use unity to export my KSP object into KSP but no mater what I have done unity will not export my texture. I have deleted every thing out of the project and reimported it. I have also made a new project. The error cosal does not say any thing is wrong. Does any one now how to fix this.

Thanks O.R.C

Rather than jumping around, lets keep all of your questions related to this part and importing/exporting and setting it up in this thread, ok?

to help you, we need a screenshot of your Unity window with the Part tools config exposed, something like this:

You can hit printscreen to capture an image and then paste it into whatever image editing software you have, save it and upload it to Imgur.com and then link it here.

[O.R.C]

were is the link button?

[Tiberion]

The forum link button is broken currently. you can enter it manually using IMG tags.

If you used Imgur.com, on the page where you got the link there is one labeled "BBCode" that has the IMG tags already around it. You can just copy/paste that into a post

Here is how my object is ste up

This is how I have the unity tool set up

I hope this is what you wanted

ps sorry the images are so large

Okay, in the hierarchy, delete the Main Camera (you dont want to export that)

then drag your electric engine object and release it over the 'tools' object. Your object with part tools should be the "top" of your object tree, with all models and such below it.

Try it again that way and see if it works

Thank you that works and now I can see it in KSP. Only problem is, on the launch pad the object falls through the ground and the purple light turns on. What should I do. The object has no thrust even though I made a empty for the thrust to come from.

If its falling through the ground it sounds like you may not have a collider on your part. Highlight your mesh in unity, then go to Components, Physics, Mesh Collider. Then on the right side find the "convex" box and check that.

Would need another screenshot of your unity setup to see how you have the thrustTransform configured.

You have went through the various posts about engines linked in this thread, correct? http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/showthread.php/25013-Compilation-of-modding-information-links-for-0-19-20-21-Last-updated-10th-September

This is how I have set up the thrust.

I also have convex turned on but The object still falls through the ground

[O.R.C]

I tried to make a new object for KSP and did every thing you told me to do. It did not fall through the ground so I am thinking that my other object does not work.

I've been getting a weird error. Unity will export my textures sometimes but not others. I've tried reloading the prefab, deleting and re-adding PartTools (.20), messing with the textures, messing with the models and all that. Only thing that works is to create a new game object and move everything over to that.

It's getting really irritating. Literally will work one minute, and then won't the next.

File error:

Thanks for the help. I have worked out how to export the texture and fixed up my model at the same time.

Cheers O.R.C

Alskari, I was having the same thing happen to me on the weekend. Were you replacing the imagemaps? I think my problem may have been when I tried to reimport the images into unity. That function doesn't seem to work and since I wanted to use the same image name I deleted the old copy of it before importing it again as a new asset. I think this might have broken the material. I'm new to unity and don't really know what I'm doing yet so I may have had a bunch of unneeded components or been adding the images wrong. I used to just drag them into the viewport and it seemed to work till I wanted to change the image.

What I've started doing is to import the new texture as a new asset, select the material from the asset window, and then assign the new image in the inspector window. At this point it seems to be safe to delete the old image. The only thing in my hierarchy is the object. The only components in the object are transform and animate that are created for all objects, the mesh renderer, the mesh collider, and the KSP parttools. Not sure if I really need the mesh renderer since it seems to display fine in unity without it.

Since I started using just this stuff in Unity I haven't run into a problem when I edit the textures. Could be just luck if it's a Unity bug or perhaps I was doing something wrong before.
