Scion Bee AV

[AHadley]

I got this AV trying to place a simple conversion of the Scion Bee from FE 1.2 into PF 1.3 PB4a. Anybody care to decode this?

The XSI is missing.

[BNG Da BZ Fool]

Try looking in your 1.2 addon and copy it to your 1.3 addon folder. I had a similar issue and resolved it this way. if you can't find the XSI then copy the MSH version. You may also need the asociated ODF file as well. Not sure though. BNG. PS: Is there a way to link 1.2 assets to 1.3 assets that does create bad assets and crash the game? Tanks, BNG.

[AHadley]

The XSI is missing.

I suddenly feel very embarrassed. I see lots of letters and numbers like that and i skim through it, missing the problem. Why can't BZ2 just say 'you're missing the XSI'?

That is almost exactly what it says.

[BNG Da BZ Fool]

BBB, is correct, but I know what you mean about not seeing it either. My understanding of such things is absolutely minimal, and I have a tendency to look at the error logs with confused wonderment most of the time. Apparently, BZII returns the same error message for missing MSH files too.

[AHadley]

yeah, same.

Anyhow, I've got it working now, with a combination of files from 1.2 and 1.3. Got a better cockpit from the Lancer too, the whole thing is fully functional and is acting as the Scion aircraft for Perfidious, with hover physics.

[TheJamsh]

pah! use aircraft.

I have the scion Bee tuned up as an aircraft in a private recycler variant of mine. Probably much different to the 1.2 version...

[Nielk1]

Ummmmm Jamsh... The Scion Bee is supposed to MORPH.

[AHadley]

I knew there was a reason I decided not to change its physics!

[TheJamsh]

it does morph. kinda

well, the animation doesnt work lol
