Spring RTS Engine

I've finally finsihed UV mapping my first model, and I'm using UpSpring version 1.42, I know I should update but thats beside the point.

Basically The models displays correctly in UpSpring, but in Spring it is invisible...

Is this a problem with the model or simply the UV map not being displayed? I'm pretty sure the model is there becuase its a weapon and explodes correctly when it hits the floor and the smoke trail works.

Also is it possible to make a weapon bouce on impact like a grenade?

Have you set it's radius and height? That's the usual cause of this problem.

edit: Oh, a weapon. Think that stioll applies. As for bouncing in a nade-like way, no, not really.

ahh, no. How would I do that?

Some tab in Upspring. Also make sure the alpha channel in your second texture is white.

The model tab, which is the first on the left. (i.e. just left of the Objects tab which is the usual one)

Weapon models have to have one object (the base object) only - any others will not show.

Merge all the parts together, see if that works

Ah, good call, totally forgot about that.

I think completly black secondary (reflection etc) texture = transparancy. Use 99% black, or a little more for nice shinyness.

red green and blue (?) are already used, transparency on that texture is transparency ingame.

modeling questions go in the modeling forum.
