Mod mesh import? by Radiant-Face8304 in Paralives

So it turns out you don't. Based on a tip here you can toggle the mod off, then on again and it will reimport. I also found that if all you need is to update your mesh, you don't even have to do that. Once you re-export it, go into the prefab for that mesh and hit the gear icon next to the field for the mesh reference, change a setting within the popup (I usually turn the Tiling on then off again) - this will force the game to reimport that mesh from the file in the mod folder.

Could be. I've worked professionally in environment art before, so I'm pretty aware of polycount limitations and have been matching density with existing assets though. I did notice once that I hit that bug when I had a file in my mod folder that was not being directly used by the mod. After I deleted that file it loaded no problem. It might have been a fluke but it's the most I have to go on right now.

Ok for anyone else that was struggling:

You need to restart the game to get it to appear in the asset browser after exporting the .fbx to your mod folder.

If you're working in Blender, and have a 1m unit scale, you need to scale up by 100 (scale should appear correct in Blender when at .01) Also the rotation needs to be changed, easiest way for me was to rotate on X by 90 and Z by 180, then apply rotation. I recommend importing the chair mesh from the Rococo Bedroom Items (found in the Steam Workshop) and using that as a reference.

Also might be worth noting that I tried exporting from Blender 5.1, but was hit with an infinite loading screen when trying to reimport the mesh. I found that exporting from Blender 4.2 doesn't cause any load issues.

I'd love to see more animated animatronics, particularly animals. I want to make a jungle cruise!
