[HELP] 1.4.4 New models (.dds , .ecm) added don't appear in the game

I do not know what's happening, but the items are work normally, but they don't appear, they're invisible, I added a monster, and an error picture appeared, but the monster was attacking and doing everything.

I also downloaded a bow, and I replaced the bow, everything on its right place (I suppose so), but still doesn't appear. Look the pic:

I changed the client/server files as well. I did everything by using sPCK.exe.

Needing help, thanks :)

have you checked this?

I haven't checked this, it's a simple and nice tutorial, i was wondering if the SkinModelPath was wrong, and it was, but even so it still does not appear on the game! ARHGHHHHHH :@ it's driving me crazy

Check the logs (specifically client logs), they might be able to tell you more.

Another thing to try would be repacking the pck.

edit: ninja, beat me to it :)

Look what the clientlog says :

[07:47:48.459] A3DSkinModel::Load, Cannot open file Models\Weapons\ÈËÎï\¹­åó\¹­\17Æ·¹­\models\weapons\??\??\?\17??\17??.smd! (edited bow)
[07:48:00.214] A3DSkinModel::Load, Cannot open file Models\NPCs\¹ÖÎï\boss\ºÚÐÄÀÏÈË\models\npcs\??\boss\????\???.SMD! (edited boss)

How can I solve it? :s

Yes, it is , and it is also correct.

then did u sed the right path to the .ecm file in elements.data?

also upload here the new /mob/npc that u want to add and il have a look at it

Yes, man I always check carefully to see if it's correctly written on the sELedit. It's always correct.

Well, now when I create the mob, my client closes immediately and I can't open anymore because of the mob, so I have to restart the server. So I decided to post the bow that still does not appear , and I think it's also correct:

Here it goes:
17品弓.rar

it has no reason not to work since i added it on my server and it works:P dont forget the like button

It still doesn't work, OMG! I CANNOT BELIEVE, WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY PW? :@ I'VE JUST REPLACED THE FILES INSIDE THE FOLDER U UPLOADED INTO THE ORIGINAL FOLDER OF THE BOW! AND THEN I USED sPCK.exe -c models.pck.files models.pck , but the bow is invisible . Same as before.

What can be wrong? :(

The log says:

[22:46:13.102] A3DSkinModel::Load, Cannot open file Models\Weapons\ÈËÎï\¹­åó\¹­\17Æ·¹­\fonts\weps\17Æ·¹­\17Æ·¹­.SMD!

sPCK.exe -c models.pck.files models.pck

---

sPCK.exe -c models.pck.files

without models.pck at the end ... > look at dokumentation > pwTools

Compress

Compressing all files from directory "example.pck.files" to file "example.pck"

• command line usage: sPCK.exe -c "example.pck.files"
• -c is the switch for compression
• example.pck.files is the root directory containing the files to be compressed
• the root directory must always ends with ".pck.files"
  
• the output file will be named "example.pck" without the tailing ".files"
• the output file will be placed in the same folder as the root directory
• the output file is perfect world angelica file packages v2008 compatible

1.4.4 seems to be pretty srange 9ive tested the bow on 1.3.6 i dont even have a 1.4.4 server made and i dont need it , but hmm i used the original files of the boow to fix it so it should work , try adding it to a new directory without damaging the original one) also id recommend CPW to test fast your files but still it should work since only the .dds its edited.
try this: put back the original weapon , test it if it works , then replace only the .dds an test again tell me the result

Hehe, before I do that, i'm just installing PWI v580 again and i'll get its models.pck which is clear. Then I try and do what you said.

These are my last hopes :l

Repack the whole models.pck. It may take a while but it might work.

Another option is to open the .ski in blender and re-export it.

How do I know if I repacked the whole models.pck or not? I always repack it by using the normal command.

1 - sPCK.exe -x models.pck
2- sPCK.exe -c models.pck.files

O.o seems like you are already repacking the whole thing each time already then.

Well a note for future reference then. You can actually just add the files you need buy creating the directory structure with the required files and using the -a command. This does make the .pck slightly larger each time however so every now and then you need to do a full repack.

I'll try that later cuz I have no time now :l

Just in case you did not know, PCK files have a physical limitation of maximum size. That limitation is 2 GB...
