Could not load mesh in game

[wackyserious]

Help, can someone explain to me why I'm getting this error? I followed the basic 3d implementation tutorial on the wiki, but I get this error when check the actor file on Atlas

[  755.875]  error:  art/meshes/props/ruins.dae: Assertion not satisfied  (line 569): failed requirement "mesh is made of triangles"

[  755.875]  error:  Could not load mesh 'art/meshes/props/ruins.dae'

[  755.875]  error:  CObjectEntry:: BuildVariation():  Model  art/meshes/props/ruins.dae failed to load

You have some loose geometry in your mesh, ie vertices and edges that are not defining a polygon. you can fix this by going into blender and selecting loose geometry with either the edge or vertex select enabled. Both actually, there might be loose vertices and loose edges.

There's no reason to append this request to a post from 2013, so I split this off to its own topic.

Thanks! It worked, but why was my mesh off-scale?  I imported a .dae file from the game to base my mesh on it, but the my model looks so small on Atlas.. by small, I mean a really, really tiny one..

@wackyserious: you need to tick the 'Import units' box when importing the model into blender

Ah, I totally forgot about that one, thanks!

It worked, thanks! I just need to learn about obstructions.

NICE !

I think the ruins are a bit too regularly shaped (and therefore too clean) but the idea is quite nice!
