Sar3z Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I made a bunch of Constructible Objects with their own STAT items (which are previewed just fine in the CK, and are properly referenced in the Created Object field) and ArtObjects (which again, can be viewed fine in the CK), yet when I run the game and go to the section of the workshop they should be in, they are listed, but neither the thumbnails nor the actual objects show up, does anyone have any clue on what I might be missing? PS: I suspect it might have something to do with the .nif files, but wouldn't that cause problems in the CK as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damanding Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 The thumbnail preview is determined by the preview transform which you select on the static object edit page. Technically you can pick any completely unrelated object and it will automatically use your nif to generate the preview. However I've found that it's best to select a similar item (or similarly sized item) so that the camera distance (for lack of a better description) is reasonable. Otherwise you might end up with a preview that looks like it's zoomed way into the object and is too large for the thumbnail or vice versa. If you build the object and it's not appearing in world then I think your nif file is probably not where the path indicated it would be, but others could chime in on this one in case I'm wrong.

MissingMeshTV Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Just a thought: did you name your BA2 with the required naming convention? Modname - Main.ba2For example I ask because I made this mistake once and the results are similar to what you described. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
