Hey, Not sure who can help with this one.  After following the instructions in the Wiki, I have managed to texture some of my models and get them uploaded to my HeroBlade.  However, there are several objects that even after following the wiki Videos exactly, will not populate into my Game World.  I get two messages in the assets screen with a series of numbers, and after those numbers it reads "Node not loaded."  What does this mean, and how do I correct it?

Can you copy and paste the whole error message?

I'll do one better.  I'll upload a screenshot.

when you load that area up are there any errors in the showing in the error output box?

[CRiley]

Not that I can see.  That's the only REAL error I see.

Have you checked the console window?  That is where I would expect to see any errors.  What you're seeing is almost exclusively due to problems finding the texture.

Apparently I was neglecting to click the Alpha shader box on my normal texture.....  The asset I fixed last night now loads up, but isn't solid.  Which I need to fix now, and I have grass that IS solid.  Apparently there is a Collision option in Maya somewhere?

can you turn wire frame on (ctrl + w) and snapshot the asset in the engine?

  Umm...  Yes.  Never taken a snap shot though.

Lol, Print screen to paint for me.  I don't edit them from there though.

I use a free program called ScreenHunter by Wisdom Soft. You can take a picture of the whole screen, or any smaller section outlined in a box you draw, and set up which key to use. Link

It is possible to make a collision ONLY mesh, by exporting an asset as "Collision only" with the export tool.  You can also include a custom collision mesh with another mesh, as you would LODs, by naming it the same and adding the suffix "_Collision".

It sounds like after fixing the asset the physics data did not update.  Try fulling removing the asset from the area via the asset panel before adding it again or use the physics panel to rebuild the physics representation.
