Can't figure out this tool

I'm makeing a piece of custom scenery that is climbable and when i try to build the model in tool i get this...

And when i type in 1 i get this...

Now i can bypass this step and i have once and the scenery WAS climbable, but it didn't have any textures.

Do not use !@^ etc. in models or collision models, they don't work.
To make it climbable, attach the ladder portion to a different frame and then apply it to all surfaces under that frame in guerilla.

Can you explain it a little better then that? Because the scenery was climbable so the symbols do work. The textures just didn't show up.

They do not work properly
Start by taking your model and removing all the ^'s, etc.
Save the visible.
If they do work, then add them again and export the collision JMS.

Do NOT use them in the visible model.

Make sure your shaders are set up properly...

Thats just it, i don't know anything about shaders. And i have exported the models both ways, one climbable one that isn't climbable but has bitmaps. What if i make a invisible wall of scenery then place the ladder model right over the invisible climbable wall, to fake the effect of climbing a real ladder? And taking the level back into 3ds max isn't a option.

In this case it has nothing to do with the shaders.

I couldn't be happier with the results!

The ladder has two textures, it climbable, AND MC's head even bops when he goes up it, lol.

Thanks guys
