Import: nothing happens

Post by UtilityRoel »

So I stopped with modding like 1 year ago and decided to start again... so bought my new license and started up zmod. everything fine but when I want to import, nothing happens, also no fault codes (still standing zmodeler3 is ready), I know much about zmod but this is really weird... base and etc.. all set fine so I don't know the problem.

is your license OK in License Information window? Are you able to open/save files?

Also, does this issue happen when you import original game models?

Thanks for reply. Yes license is OK, tried many truck pmd files and all of them didn't import. I'm ably to open/save and merge files. and it also happens when i want to import a truck from the base. but know i got messages and it sais:ZModeler is ready.
Can't open file for read: C:\Users\roelc\Desktop\RJL Scania R 4-series addon v2.2.4\vehicle\truck\upgrade\bumper\scania_rcab_edit\bumper_4series.

And also there is coming up now in the license overview: revalidate in 6 days, so maybe the problem is in the validate?

looks like ZModeler is not being run as Administrator and (as a result) has no access to your "C:\Users" folder. Try to import from a different location and make sure to run ZModeler as Administrator.

"Revalidate in 6 days" is a good validation status.
Create a simple primitive like box and export in Wavefront .obj file. Was ZModeler able to export such a file and import it back? Just to find out whether import/export is available in ZModeler.

Your platform has logged in to license server on October 21st. Assign password 123456 onto your platform again. Run ZModeler, specify your account name and platform password again, close ZModeler and restart as Administrator. Copy your license key in web account. open License Information, press and hold Shift key for 2-3 seconds. You should see your license key in ZModeler and it should get validated in few seconds.

quite likely unlocked model will not get imported. Model locking was used to prevent files to be re-imported. Check whether you can import original game models. If you can't and get some error message, then your license key is probably not installed in ZModeler.

I am unable to import files. Right after I selected the file and clicked import, nothing happens, and I don't receive a single error message of it.

Most likely you are trying to import a locked file. Try to import original game file to see whether it works or not. Also, create a box primitive, export it as Wavefront OBJ file and import again, does this work?

I am also having this issue where I hit import and nothing happens. My license key is OK but it will not let me import.

If your import button gets dimmed, then you are trying to import a locked file.
Otherwise, the file is probably corrupt and can not be imported. If you thinks the issue is related to license, I advise to export simple cube as .obj file and import it back.

Negative, it gets greyed after I press import on the file. Unless that is what you mean?

the file is locked by its author for the only purpose - not to be imported again.

The file you are trying to import is locked and can not be imported. If you have downloaded someone's model from the web, it is very likely the model is locked by its author to prevent unauthorized modification/alternation.
You should be able to import original game models or non-locked models fine.

If you get dimmed/disabled "Import" button when you click on this file inside "Import" window, then the file is certainly locked. Just give a try to another file (original game file) to see whether something happens on import or not.
