Help with A.P.E. 2
« on: October 14, 2006, 06:12:08 AM »
Hi i am a beginer animal maker and am making a domestic cat out of a jaguar. Im at the part where i have to test it in the game. When I find its spot, there is a white box. I tried clicking on the box and the game shuts down and asks me if I want to send an error report. I clicked no and checked if i did everything. Do u know what's wrong anyone?

I would highly recomend the ZT2 DC: http://s14.invisionfree.com/ZT2_Designing_Center/ as we have lots of things to help with this.

But, basically you need to rename and edit everything in the entities/units/animals/codename folder including the nif files, bfm files, dds files etc.

I tried making another animal today, and the same thing happened with my first project. There is a white block (This time it has a short description) but when i click on it the game shuts down: :( :
I think the main thing i did wrong was deleting files after I copied them from winrar. It says to get rid of BF ones and TXTkey ones or something. I deleted all of the BF and TXTkey ones and I wasnt left with many files. I'm very confused and I haven't been able to make a decent animal yet! Sumone help plz!!!!

Well i can code everything in the entire files, but its just invisible, If you want i can try my best to fix it. The white square is usually a icon problem.
