Problems with OZ5.2

DaSquishy · #1 02-24-2005, 12:36 AM

I have been playing around with the new 5.2 version of OZ and am quite confused as to whats going wrong. I have been trying to import and export a zone I had designed using 3ds max and had no problems exporting it using version 5.1 however now I am getting errors with 5.2.

I started deleting items from my scene one at a time to see what was going wrong, however, it didnt properly export until the only item left in my scene was just the ground mass (a box with a displace modifier).

As soon as I add any other objects to the scene - even just a simple box with a simple texture, it just gives me access violation errors during the "breaking off water, lava, and pvp regions" process bar. (before any progress shows up)

Anyone have an ideas?

I'm going to need a sample of the file that's giving it problems if I'm going to be able to diagnose the problem. Can you post something?

OZ doesnt support most of the 3D modifier, such as displace.

Ok, well if displace is the problem, I guess i'll stick to 5.1 as it lets me use it lol.

displace should works (afterall, its only an heightmap), but if you use lots of modifier (for mesh and materials) such as displace (example, fusion), OZ wont take them in count and will for sure crash.

You know, if a sample was posted, I might be able to make 5.2 at least ignore modifiers instead of crashing...

Well I had deleted all objects in the scene except for 1 box with a displace modifier (for an outdoor heightmap) and 1 box with a texture - no other special modifiers and it just errored out.

Here is an example, a simple 3d studio max file that exports fine in 5.1 but does not in 5.2:

I also am very new to 3d modelling, so it is quite possible that I am doing something wrong and 5.1 just let it go by where as 5.2 doesn't.

Also, out of curiosity I tried creating a zone entirely in OZ5.2 following the help file tutorial step by step - and it always freezes when trying trying to use the ground editor. It never errored out, just hung there for hours at around 50% processor usage.
