Bluestreak export error (gmax)

bibbit · Post by **bibbit** » Fri Jan 04, 2008 7:54 pm

Excuse me if this has been answered before, because I just got CE today and am new to mapping.

I tried several times to run the Bluestreak JMS script in gmax, but when I click Export an error says 'Unknown property: "name" in undefined.' Does anyone know what this means? Thanks.

I got this too! What does it mean?

I've never seen it before, but the way it sounds, your problem may lay in the objects names? Maybe the Frame or Skybox? I can't say for sure,
and I probably wouldn't take my advice at all, but just throwing it out there. I keep looking for the answer.

The names of my objects are word for word

frame
skybox
Base01
Base03 (Base02 got deleted)
Floor01
Floor02 (seperated the floors to texture them differently

I have multiple material numbers for different materials including +sky, my ground texture, the floor texture and the base texture, but that's it so far.

My map is also within dimension maximums. the whole thing is roughly 36,000x35,000x17,000

The only thing that need to be named properly is the framebox.

so, long as it's named "frame" and everything is linked I should be ok right?

Yes.

My +sky texture was mislabeled, and I fixed that, but I'm still getting the same results. I'm going to contact TheGhost directly if his page doesn't help, but here is the code from the MAXscript Listener

I contacted TheGhost

Turns out this error results from materials being incorrectly set up

If experiencing this error, check the material numbers in the materials editor against the ones on objects, and make sure everything has a material

When in doubt, write down your pathnames and delete all your materials and start again.

Oh yeah.... that happened to me once, I just retextured and I was fine. The way I texture now is texture then hide those polys. And when your done, you shouldn't have any polys left. Then you just unhide.
