Help me please

[TiberSeptim]

Well i have been modding for 6 weeks now and yesterday i made a pokeball and put it in oblivion, however it doesnt move cant grab or pick it up or ANYTHING can someone please help me?

[Hanaisse]

Does it have havoc?

What type of object did you create it as in the CS?

[InsanitySorrow]

I'll add another question to the list, What type of object did you export it as?

[donnato]

Another question that may help us to help you is...What program/s did you use to "make" the pokeball?

[TiberSeptim]

Answer 1: the havok sim dont work and i made it misc

answer 2: i did make it myself if ur accusing me of not i used blender and nifskope

answer 3:exported it from blender as netimmerse/gamebyro

[WindmillTilter]

It sure sounds like Hanaisse is on the right track and your Havok isn't working. Did you model collision in Blender and export it, or create it in NifScope? Would probably be faster if you posted the NIF in question.

There is either no collision or it's been exported as a static item, no matter what you do in the CS it'll still act as a static object.

[TiberSeptim]

its not static either i just walk straight through it fsr

[InsanitySorrow]

Ahh well in that case there is problably no collision present, As Wind said, it'd be best if you posted the Nif so we can have look.

[TiberSeptim]

sooooooo post in the .nif file that i converted or post in the .blender file un converted?

[InsanitySorrow]

NIF would be best as there are a few members that do no use blender

[donnato]

I just needed to know which programs you used TS. I know a bit about blender and so may have been able to help. 3Ds Max, not. It looks like you`re in good hands here so I`ll leave you folks to work it out.

1) Upload to a filehosting site, such as Rapidshare, Megaupload, Dropbox, etc.

2) Post link here.

Blender can export collision, so you shouldn't need any Nifskope post work.

My thought is that you did not have both the collision and regular mesh selected when exporting. Blender only exports what ever you have selected, so you need to make sure you select everything.

[InsanitySorrow]

Hmm cannot access the file, seems it's not available.

[WindmillTilter]

Yeah the problem was that you're collision didn't get exported.

In case you didn't know, there are actualy 2 models for everything you interact with in Oblivion. The visible one with no substance (higher face count made to look good), and an invisible solid one (lower face count to make it easier on the engine) that the physics engine interacts with. You need both the visible NiTriStrips and the physics model (or Havok) bhkCollisionObject in your NIF for it to work. I've added havok to your NIF, give it a try and let me know.

I know I sound stupid, but I don't really know a thing I'm doing in nifskope, Maybe i should learn a bit more before i do anything else?

[DarkRider]

Modeling is a hard place to start for many modders. There is a lot you can learn about modding that will help prepare you for modeling. Texturing, for example, is MUCH easier to learn with no experience and can help you get familiar with the functions in NifSkope and with common terms used.

[TiberSeptim]

can you suggest some programs for texturing? I've been using blender a week and not really getting anywhere, i think i should just try something different instead and just play around and get a bit more used to blender. last night i wasnt modding at all, i just felt like

[DarkRider]

Here is a link to a basic texturing tutorial it has links in the beginning to all the tools you need.

If texturing proves too hard don't give up, everyone finds what they are good at eventually

[TiberSeptim]

Ty oh and i never give up btw, so if it's too hard for me i'll just start work for 12 hours a day instead of 4 i always find a way

[TiberSeptim]

Please if anyone will give some help on collision modeling now i really need to get this mod done soon

[InsanitySorrow]

Did you take note of the information given in the shoutbox?, Also rushing to get the work done is never good when learning

Ummm, you need to be more specific. What aspect of collision modelling are you having trouble with, what are you trying to do and how far did you get?
