Interior cells, disappearing sections.

Post » Sun Jun 06, 2010 3:28 pm

Hi all,

I'm having some problems with dublicating an interior cell, which I haven't encountered before. In this case, I've copied the Springvale School interior, and have made various changes too it, mostly to do with NPCs and clutter. However, when loading the interior in game, I get this problem:

And the point pictured before, facing the opposite direction:

Anyone have any ideas why this is happening, and how I can fix it? I can't think of anything that would cause this...

Thanks

Load your cell in the Geck, go to View --> Show/Hide Window, then tick Portal and Rooms. Now you will see some big blueish cubes in your cell. Click on them and delete them. Problem solved.
Those blue boxes are room markers that (like navmesh) do not get deleted when deleting the contents of a cell that you have duplicated.

Ah, thanks very much. I was afraid I was going to have to make my whole cell again from scratch ;)

Instead of duplicating a cell, just create a new cell. The tutorials dumbly tell you to duplicate cells instead, which causes all kinds of problems.

On the toolbar, >World >Cells...

Right-click in the cells list that comes up and select 'new' and give it a name. Your done.
