This is my first time using custom objects and APM. I d/l some objects and I had placed them in the track, I went to run APm and I got this pop-Up :
Does anyone know what is wrong or how to fix it ??

Whenever I click on OK or the X the program closes.

it means some of the slt files names cant be used

Hmmm

I think you can't use * : ; " ' . , etc in file names.

Example ( _TD_.slt ) is fine

Not sure if apm has trouble with more then 200 objects. But I know it can cause problems along the line some where. lol

Been to long since I made a track. lol

yeah denny I think its those names the slt names cant be to long and they cant have "special" words like ;:,.?}=)(/&%¤#"! i think you get the pic

well, when i try to put the objects, I get ALOt of "Image not availiable", so I will go through and clean all those out. I'll let u guys know what happened .

 Most of the files that say " Art Unavailiable" go somethink like: bale_l_honda_TD_001, I cleared out most of the objetcs that said art unavailiable and they are still there.I deleted them, emptied my trashcan, and restarted my PC and those objects are stilll there. I have no Idea what is wrong.

no _art file lol

hi the duble under line dont work..    the _td_  mess things up. when i deleted them amp di work fine..


when i make objects i use

test_tex.tga
test_art.tga
test.slt

but once you add a extra underline it crashes   1_test_tex.tga
                                                                 1_test_art.tga
                                                                 1_test_slt.slt

Good advice metal_miracle 

Sorry I haven't been around to help with this....

You can't have "_TD_" anywhere in the object file name.  Probably somebody uploaded some of the duplicate objects made by APM when it processes your project.  You can't use these because this is how APM numbers the duplicate files.

You really can only use and distribute the objects in your UserModels folder and they cannot contain the "_TD_" in the file name.
