Game Crash when custom helicopter built

MasterOFMorag · Vehicle Driver **Joined**: 26 Jul 2010

The title says it all I downloaded lefthand's Alliance voxels and tried using the Sioux helicopter but the game crashed when I built it. How can I fix this?

check the HVA
or just rebuild one

check the EIP in except.txt (if you have one) to find what's wrong

I don't know how to edit HVA files but this is what it says: OS_HVA_BUILDER TopSpin DUMMY01 Body €? ˜A €? pA €? ðA €? ð@ €? ð@ €? y? ¾O? €? üA¾O¿ y? (Aþ8ø>ç_? ÀAç_¿þ8ø> °À €? èA €? ð@ €? ð@ €? :}|? K)¾ €? BK)> :}|? A&ö™>Ñ&t¿ ÀÀÑ&t?&ö™> A €? ðA €? ð@ €? ð@ €? €? HA €? B €? 8A

Get the HVA editor.
Also, make sure your rules are coded correctly. That's usually the source of the problem (you can diagnose it by trying a different voxel, like the nighthawk's)

the art code was copied from the nighthawk.

EDIT: It works with the nighthawk voxel. p.s. It also crashes with the mohawk voxel.

Probably just bunk HVA files. That, or you're missing the weapon or the warhead.

Not to mention the ShadowIndex= tag.

If your really lazy, you could either extract a working HVA or copy an existing one of a helicopter you also downloaded and rename it properly. Although, its good practice to get the HVA editor and use it.

I changed shadowindex to 1 and the game didn't crash, but all that appears in the game is the propellor.
(It does spin though.)

Put the ShadowIndex to 0.

Didn't work, looks exactly the same as before.

BTW I forgot to say that two propellors appeared one was on top and was spinning and another one appeared below the other propellor and wasn't spinning.
