Hey there,
I started to do objects for the WIP-Envi project and tried to import something for the first time now. (Only a simple testblock so far, but cool stuff is coming!)
So the problem is, when I want to select the collection I only can choose between, Common, TMCommon, SMCommon, Storm, Canyon und Stadium but NO Valley!
I know Valley isn't really popular, but this... :roflol:
I'm sure the fail is at my side, but could you help me?
Greez, Wooloo

Just a silly thought... do you have the latest importer? Check in the material lib if there is Valley.
And did you try the title Id TMValley also? :arrow: http://doc.maniaplanet.com/dedicated-se ... leids.html

hi,

maybe I can help =)
I wrote a tutorial about import, and I used Valley materials for my item
I know my tuto is in french, but I think there are enough screenshots for you to understand it
I didn't use convert assistant but NadeoImporter
but you if your error is in the xml files, you should find it there ;)

Oh... That could be the solution :oops:
I've used the link from this german tutorial.
Apparently it is an outdated version since the link to the convert assistant doesn't go to the Vinummusik-link but to a dropbox.
Probably the NadeoImporter isn't right then too, but I couldn't find a proper link for it so far.

This tutorial looks quite good and in-depth! But it's quite hard to understand with Google Translate... :/ Thanks though! :thx:

Nadeo importer > http://doc.maniaplanet.com/creation/importer/

or direct link > http://files.maniaplanet.com/tools/Nade ... _10_22.zip

I recommend to download the sample files too and take a look into them, there are all needed files (blend, xml etc.)
:thumbsup:

Works great in combination with the new CA :yes: maxi did an awesome job here :clap: :thx:

And you should may use blender 2.74 > https://www.blender.org/features/past-releases/2-74/

I got some errors with the new blender 2.75 while exporting to fbx

Hello Maxi
Will the Convert Assistant support the lagoon environment in the future?

I ran into a similar error and found the root cause for my case in here: viewtopic.php?p=308540#p308540

Short version:
Don't combine: materials with direct library material names, without <material/> entry in xml + materials with a <material/> entry in the xml.
Don't combine: <material/>s with Link= and <material/>s with Model= in the same xml.

E.g. use always customer material names in your editor (.fbx consequently), and always use <material Model=.../> (Hack necessary in that case).
