My model isn't showing up

Hello everyone. So, I was making a vent model and I came up with an error: my model isn't showing up.
This is the model, it is a ventilation conduct:

The .mat file has the same name of the model, and it's in the same folder. Also, the textures are inside the folder (static_objects/otherworld/vents/)

Any idea?

Open the .ent file and look for: <Mesh Filename="">.
Enter your directory like this: <Mesh Filename="entities/equipment/broom/broom.dae"> and it should show up.

No, there isn't any .ent. Is the same .dae.

RE: My model isn't showing up

Is the material a different name than the diffuse? The .mat has to be the same name as the diffuse, not exactly the model/.dae

RE: My model isn't showing up

Hm.. have you tried this? It fixed it for me:

- Open model in Maya (or whatever you're using)
- apply texture in that programm (applying only the diffuse will be enough)
- save scene and export the .dae again from that scene
- import .dae into model editor again
(- if it is visible now, apply your .mat so you also have normal map and spec map)

I'll see what you've said, Hirnwirbel. Statyk's tip didn't work.

RE: My model isn't showing up

You could open the .dae in Notepad and search (ctrl+F) for "library_images". look for the directory of the diffuse and make sure it matches the one located in the model's folder. Things like these are usually broken directories.

I know you have it working now, but as a quick tip: When ever you import an object and later make modifications to the object for re-importing, be sure to delete any MSH files and close the HPL2 model editor before importing.
