I'm new to Esenthel and in making games in general. I'm a moddeler. and I've been modding oblivion for years.

My problem is that my game object that I've made doesnt show up when i play the game.

I saved it in the Esenthel mesh editor. placed it in World Editor. everything looks great. I press play all build all button under the build button. i then press the play button. and I've played it under play last build, play visible and all of the other play options.

did i not set my normal or my bump maps right?
i didnt have an image set on my lightmap when i imported it into the esenthel mesh editor.
Please, Please, Please someone help me. If i can't get my own models into the game then I'm just going to have to walk away from this game engine. that is something i really dont want to do.

I'm using a direct X file. direct X file to the model: http://www.mediafire.com/?2a0kx8bbvrzxp6p
bump map: http://www.mediafire.com/?didvsln7gyyusfa
normal map http://www.mediafire.com/view/?99r6t5xw5mtpeli#
My model is a simple Aloe plant, free for anyone to use.

The tutorial i followed was this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47Df7g6K-z8 even though he didnt use directx

Someone please help me!

sorry everybody. i figured it out. i forgot to add it as a static object. if you dont put what kind of object it is under type. then the game doesnt know what it is and it wont even show up in the game.

now i am very pleased with this game and finally, i can go on to building my world.

i also want to say this is a good community, everybody here has been a big help.

Welcome.

Also, how many polygons are those blades of grass?

um not sure...i've got way better grass. this is an Aloe plant. it is a plant used for healing for my game. it is not to be used for ground cover. i do however have a few other ground cover grasses that ive made. I'll post them for anybody to use if people are interested. I need help with making my objects solid. i made a castle textured it and everything. I've imported it into the Game World. I press play build and when im playing it, my character can walk through the walls. He doesnt release the object is an actual physical object. How do i change this object into something solid. Please, someone help me.

Could you post the grass model? I am needing ground cover.
