Ambient don't work

[kiekebanus]

Hi

Ik made a ambient but it won't show up in the game. What's teh problem?

Unfortunately, many things could be the problem.

It could be badly named folders, an error in the xml files or problems with the world folder. Also, sometimes it takes the animal a while to show up. :wink:

Also, did you make it out of an existing ambient? You can't make new ones, you see. :tree3: :merry:

No I didn't do that.

But my ambient is from the Nile Monitor. Which ambient-file should I use?

[csleesburg]

The Nile Monitor ISN'T an ambient, as you know. Making it into one takes more trouble than making an existing ambient into a seperate ambient. The Nile Monitor requires food and shelter, whereas the other ambients don't. You'll need to study the ambients first to see how they work. :original: :flake1: :gbman:

Did you download the AAG tutorial at the ZT2DC? That is the best place to start.

Basically what you should do is make a new ambient from the springhare. Then replace the springhare's .bfm, .dds and .nif files with the monitor ones. is this clear?

But how do you make from a "normal' animal a ambient.

I know it's possible cause there a ambient download of the fennec on Zootycoon.nl
