Building won't appear in game

[stolenrays]

So I made a nice building, and it shows up in civilopedia fine, but doesn't appear when creating it in the normal game. Also, it has no icon in the technology screen until you click on the individual technology. Can't figure out what went wrong. Anybody else see this happen?

It's just a nif. That's useless to us.

Ouch. What would help?

Ouch. What would help?

The XML files.

 

[stolenrays]

here are the xml files I think that are pertinent. Buildinginfos, buildingclasses, artdefbuildings, and textinfo.

What building is it? There are lots of custom buildings in there.

It's simply titled Baath. It is a wonder.

Why do you add Mods/Iran_Iraq_War/Assets/ to every path? It's not really needed.

Did you maybe add it somewhere as UB?
Does it show up okay in the world builder?

 

[stolenrays]

I checked out civinfos and it is not a unique building. It is a global wonder. It doesn't show up in worldbuilder when I try and add it to a city. It's icon is there, it shows up in the civilopedia and the wonder info list, but then in the city a small building disapears and also some of the grey roads that are part of the city do to. I thought if you didn't add the mod path then it looks at the unmoded path.

Thanks for the help so far.

Check that, its icon shows up in the technology tree for Iraq and it requires Nationalism.

If its only that you can't see the building graphic when you zoom into the city, could be the scale of the artwork is too big or too small(this has happened to me on occasions), what model are you using for the building? To confirm; its in the civlopedia, and when you place it in the city does it show up with its effects in the city screen?

 

[stolenrays]

It's listed in the civilopedia with its artowork. It also shows up in the city screen list. It just won't appear when zooming in on the city.

I used a collada model imported into Blender from a google warehouse search like I did with many of my other models without any problems. Then I exported it as a nif. I've tried adjusting the fscale many times, but that didn't seem to be the problem. I'll try that agin just in case.

It's a shame, but I guess I'll post my mod update with the artwork as is or another generic building.

Happens sometimes with artwork, I wouldn't know why as I've not got the any sort of knowledge of doing the models yet. Have you tried a different model for the building, if it works then you'll know for sure that it is the art file that's the problem.

maybe I'm not getting this? there is a simple show up priority tag in the art xml file? is that the reason?

Sounds reasonable, but I have no idea which file or where you are referring to. Could you be more specific?
