BAT Exports

[SmartRoss1 0]

OK, I export a model from The B.A.T and it says it exported successfully. It's a Prop, so I go into the Plugin Manager and drag it into Props. But when I go to Lot Editor, make a lot and try to add the Prop it isn't there. Is it because I'm trying to export a flat plane? Any ideas welcome.

What name have you given to your prop?  You haven't used any unusual characters Eg @,& or #.

This can cause this problem.

No, I've not used punctuation or spaces; my name was OneWayScene2. It's below 40 characters, but still doesn't work.

How big is your prop? When adding a prop to a lot, the lot has to be big enough for it. If your prop is 1x2 or whatever but you try to put it on a 1x1 lot, it won't show up in the menu until you make the lot big enough. After that though, you CAN downsize the lot to make the prop overhang, but the lot has to be at least 1/2 (50%) the size of the prop or you can't save the lot. Hope that helps!

If you have anymore questions just post.

I tried (in GMAX) making the plane 256x256, but then I thought the problem was the size so, remebering that a tile size is about 37x37, I changed it to 36x36. If this is still too big can somebody please tell me how big to make it (I use the default measurements in GMAX)?

One lot in SC4 is 16x16 meters.

Thanks for the help; I'll try 16x16 and see if it works. I'll keep you posted as to what happens...
