I have been trying all morning but I can't seem to get this working. Every time I compile my model, no matter what I do, parts of the model will be missing in-game. I'm completely out of ideas to try and get it to work. When I wake up I'll try and start fresh but I was hoping someone here might know what I'm missing.

I've already checked that:

1. Everything is linked to the proper frames
2. Everything is either editable mesh or editable poly
3. I've already checked and fixed all flipped normals(although if this were the issue, it would just be inverted, not gone)

So if anyone has any idea, any help would be appreciated.

this might be unless to you but anyway, have you used any of the symbols on the area
where you have the missing polys?
some of the symbols can hide polys ingame that's why i'm thinking of that.
are you sure you have fixed all the flipped faces for definite?

is it a model or bsp?
you say everything is either mesh or poly but not only one, try only one.

Okay I guess I wasn't specific enough, sorry I was falling asleep at the time I posted it.

It's a weapon model. And yes I did try making them all editable poly, and then all editable mesh.

did u make sure to not go over 20k poly limit?

Polys: 9,712
Verts: 5,512

Would you like me to try and build the scenario? to see if it works.

It's just a weapon model, not a bsp. And it gets in game, the model is just missing parts. I think it has something to do with the geometry in max, but I can't tell for sure.

Srry, i thought it was a bsp.
I have had this trouble before, are you using a custom collision? or a stock collision?

It's just a weapon so I'm not using one. Although I don't think that's related to the issue because I usually don't use a collision with custom weapons.

yea, i cant give an explaination, but i did have this problem before and either moving the ground point or adding a collision fixed it for me.
Unless i did something that i dont remember, which may be the case.

maybe normals are messed up?
That happened to my DMR. It was fine in 3ds, but when ingame, a lot of the faces were facing the wrong way.

Had to make it inverted in max to make it look normal in the game.

I wish that was the issue because that's easy to fix. With this, I can't even tell where the problem is coming from.

hmm, which exporter are you using?

I use Max 9 so my only option is Bluestreak.

Is this a piece of scenery or a vehicle? Sometimes the bounding radius in the scenery or vehicle tag makes stuff not show up. Use values from the most similar stock tag for render bounding radius and bounding radius.

I already said it was a weapon.

I don't think that's the issue because only parts of the weapon don't show up. Some of it's still there.

Have you tried making everything edible mesh? idk. Might help in some way.

Doesn't anybody read the previous posts?




I wish it was that simple though.

Here's a pic to show what I'm talking about.(I probably should have don that in the OP)
