And put it in a "safe" mod, I mean something very simple with no core changes.

I can't do anything but <NIF>Art/Structures/Buildings/an_greek_stadium/an_greek_stadium.nif</NIF>

does it work for you?

Edit: I can open it in nifscope, but ingame there is a c++ error and it says about an error in pedia interface screen there

 

[Jarmrik]

I have the same problem in pedia. It's missing pedia, just like when you don't point the correct KFM for a unit.
I made an other model from scratch, but it remained the same. I had a look at Merjin tutorial for building, it doesn't seem to be something wrong in the modelling process. I tried to find a mention of a similar problem here, but the search engine is such a mystery to me... I don't have five hours to spend in reading every thread with the word "building" or "error" appearing in it.
I'm thinking of incorrect Lsystem, but for now I haven't clearly understood how it works.
I'm sorry, I was glad giving you this model, but I don't understand what's going wrong. I'll try one more time to rebuild one before friday, if you haven't found anyone to help with this issue before.

 

[pie_at]

Ah, ok I'll try some different LSystems this evening and let you know... thx that you try your best!

Edit: I tried all different LSYSTEMs vom 2x2 to 4x4, nothing worked

 

[Jarmrik]

Sorry, I hadn't seen your edit.
Honestly, I don't know what's to do. The one you have was directly modelled on the byzantine hippodrome. I thought it was the problem. I made a new one from scratch, it remains the same: nifskope is okay but there's still this pedia issue, and of course a no surprise CTD when trying to place it in city.
I even looked for a tutorial in case I was a little too confident -it happens- and I don't see what I'm doing wrong. I also imagine you have enough experience in adding buildings in-game to do it "the right way". Do buildings require specific modifications in city-relative xml files (just like citysets)?

 

[pie_at]

Yes, I've included lots of buildings and units in PAE before. city-relative xml: not for this buiding. only for aqueducts and walls.

Is anybody else able to repair the ancient greek stadium by jarmrik ?

I did the ingame test yesterday, and it works fine :goodjob:

[hrochland]

If I understand correctly, you have a nif that shows up in the city but not in the pedia?
I have downloaded the file and will try it out.

 

[pie_at]

the master himself.... great!!!!

 

[hrochland]

I created a proper nif file structure and tried it as a coliseum

 

[pie_at]

Yes! That works! Thank you very much!

 

[hrochland]

You're welcome

You rule!
Can you explain me what I did wrong? I have another model for this, I would like to do it correctly.

 

[hrochland]

I haven't done much research. When I opened your file, the file structure immediately struck me, so I saved your mesh to a file with the correct structure.

 

[Jarmrik]

Thanks to hrochland for pointing out the solution.
Hundred hours on manipulating nifs, and I didn't even think of sceneroot node. Ain't it shame...

Here's an alternative version I can upload (it's correctly structured this time...), if it fits more to your requirements.

 

[pie_at]

I think this won't fit very good with the terrain, does it? perhaps round corners of the sandfloor?
but let me try, pls upload it for me

 

[Jarmrik]

Well, I made this one with lower stands, placed them on the length only, and made it half of the length, as you requested in post #1797. I can turn back the sand area to the first one if you want. Though it won't look like the ones I found on the web.
It would be easier with pictures/drawings/schema of what you have in mind.

I wonder if someone could do a modell of porta nigra. A roman city gate in Trier.

 

[hrochland]

I found something to use as a texture. If I discover a telling view from above, I'll try to do it at the weekend.

 

[Leoreth]

Does anyone know of a model for a Celtic menhir or standing stone to use? I can vividly remember seeing a model like this but I cannot find it again, neither in the download database nor in the usual suspects of mods that could contain it. Does anyone have an idea?

Edit: nevermind, found the model I was thinking of. It's available as the Monolith building in Pie's Ancient Europe.
