Angrypig's supposed to find a way how to have the FDM files in the model directory. Must check whether he actually has it noted in his todo list.

Hey, I just follwed my tut of what I did last time but I'm having trouble importing an object. When I go to configure, the only options it gives are for enviromental light and something called box0001 which turns out to be a control tower. My imported object is not in the list. The package file has been created under the correct name.
 So I tried it again and selcted Ignore in config and my object appears ok. So I close down the importer and reopen to place the object. Now the object has been replaced by the contol tower again....
Anyone got any ideas what's going on?

Try deleting the content of the imported folder - sometimes the old imports get it into a bad state.

 I'm not sure which folder you mean...?
I tried creating another directory and exported from Max into that just to test what it was exporting. It's exported a dae and a new dir called images and put the texture there as expected.
 I browse to this folder in Outerra and it imports fine. No errors. The field at the bottom of the dialog gets filled in correctly with the right name. But, when I go to configure the import, the model name doesn't appear. I get enviromental light and box0001. That's it. Outerra has just filled out the package name so it must know which package I'm importing.

There's probably an old impcfg file in the target folder where OT imports. That's in OT data dir, packages/monks/yourmodelname

There are no other folders in the monks User directory other than the 4 models I've imported. Nowhere anywhere is the control tower. I've solved the naming problem of "box0001"- that was in Max. So now at least it has the correct name in the importer. Outerra is importing the package correctly because the object appears correctly after package import. Also, checking the package out in the monks dir, I can see no mention anywhere of the control tower in ANY of the created files - logs, etc. However, when I come to place the object it places the control tower....bizarre. I'm selecting the right package from the object list.

It should be under the package name, not the object name. There can be multiple objects in a package.

I've noticed that in the log it's creating an enviromenambienttlight object as well as my object (ProcRock). Is that usual?

...looking at my other object imports it's looks like it always does that.

It's usual for Max imports. During import it should be set to ignored, since OT has its own lighting.

If I set it to "ignore" the object no longer appears in the "Show Object" field. I have to set it to "static object" to see it.

 The importer really seems to be behaving strangely. I went through my previous imports in the object list and tried to place them and I got what seemed to be a random selection of Outerra objects, tanks, planes, trucks. Selecting to place The last object in the list which referred to a previous completely different object of mine (a tower) actually gave me my new object (rock).

 How can all of my objects be re-assigned to new ones?

 I noticed in the latest build it said we need a new Earth dir for cache. Is that the problem here?


//in addition, I can't delete from within the importer any of the random outerra objects

That's a bug in the latest version - places a wrong object, not the one you selected. Fix is in the works.

But the enviromenambienttlight is not an object, the advice to set it to ignored was for that.

Ahhhhhh....! Hopefully that will fix it. I think what was happening is that it was importing fine (I could see it), but the placement was all screwed up. Bit of info: it's not a random re-assignment though because I always get the control tower for the new object, and always get the rock for the mytower.  ;)
