Exporting Weapons from UnrealED

[ImediaGroup]

Ive been stuck on this stinkin' issue for 2 days now... PLEASE forgive me for asking such a rookie question...Indeed I read over carefully the "how to ask questions" portion in the intro...So here is what I have done:

I have watched all of the VTM's that come with UT2004 about exporting a weapon from UnrealED to Unreal. Inside of UnrealED, I understand that at the top-center of the animations (tab) viewport, the name for the displayed mesh is typed out for my coding convenience.

I have tried opening a couple *.uc files from UT2004 itself, but i am not fimiliar enough with the code to know what I'm looking at. It looks too advanced for me.

I have checked the Wiki site...and I tried searching for mutators and weapon tutorials but got nada... INCLUDING finding weapons/mutators on the UDN network. I have searched for example code on the web as well...

and *sigh* I have no skilled UnrealED friends... yet. I hope my *slef* searching has met all of your criteria and i highly respect your donated time... so heregoes:

I understand that my *.uc file is trying to "call" my mesh to import it into UT2004... I have named my meshes properly without any grammar mistakes and I'm still getting the error... The following *.uc files work properly and are NOT giving me any errors:

M4CarbineProjectile
M4CarbineM203Grenade
M4CarbineAltFire
M4CarbineFire

I'm stuck on the compiler...I have written all of my *.uc files and after compling, I get a total of three errors...

1)
Importing Defaults for M4CarbineAttachment
ObjectProperty Engine.Actor.Mesh: unresolved reference to 'SkeletalMesh'M4Carbine.M4Carbine3rd'

2)
Importing Defaults for M4Carbine
ObjectProperty Engine.Actor.Mesh: unresolved reference to 'SkeletalMesh'M4Carbine.M4Carbine1st'

3)
Importing Defaults for M4CarbinePickup
ObjectProperty Engine.Actor.StaticMesh: unresolved reference to 'StaticMesh'm4CarbineStatic.M4CarbineStatic'

can anyone point me into the right direction?

The problem lays in your staticmesh/animation file, its got a reference in it to some texture/textures that cannot be found.

 

[ImediaGroup]

I probably shouldve posted my file structure in my last post. I apologize.


C:\UT2004\M4Carbine\
Animations\
M4CarbineAnims.PSA
M4CarbineAnimsAltFire.psa
M4CarbineAnimsIdle.psa

Classes\

M4CarbinePickup.uc
M4CarbineAttachment.uc
M4CarbineFire.uc

Models\
M4Carbine1st.PSK

*In the VTM's that I saw, I didn't quite understand how the *.utx file was coded. I didn't see it anywhere except for when coding the projectile. So because I didn't see it in the following code, I skipped it. Textures are a minor issue to me at this point. I just need to make sure that I can get this into Unreal...

HOLY CRAP! Thanks! I never saved my NEW *.utx file to my texture folder.

Thanks a ton Wuff! I watched the VTM again about static meshes. I misunderstood where to put my static mesh. I thought I had to put it into my models folder, but I needed to put it into the Static Meshes folder in UT2004. I would have never thought of that until you pointed me in the right direction.

Thanks a ton.
