Placeables disappearing?

I have a custom level that I turned into an area. A door and barrel I made keep disappearing. I put them in the area, check it in, check it back out, and they're gone.

The door will come back if I put it deep inside the room, but it won't fit nicely in the doorway AND appear in game. I have to pull it out quite a ways before it will show up. Should I add another unused section to the back of the doorway in the level editor? Would that help?

The barrel I have no explanation for. It's just not there ever... even though it's a legitimate file in my mod's folder.

That is a very strange issue. Could you clarify: You are placing placeables, saving/exporting your area, and then those placeables are not present in game? When you check the file in, are you sure you're using check in and not undo checkout? Are you exporting your placeables?

I've been having very strange issues all along. Characters not mapping to the right stage place. Dialogues that used to export won't now. Companions who can equip Shale's and Dog's gear and normal humanoid gear... Suddenly things break, and then suddenly they work... and then sometimes they break again. I'm hoping that tomorrow, this problem will have magically resolved itself.



The area and placeables have been exported. I can even use the door in another area just fine.

I checked to make sure the area and placeables were valid files in the mod's folder, and they are.

I checked to make sure I actually assigned a model to the placeables, and I had.



I think the door is just not showing up because it's half inside the area and half outside the area. Though I've not had that problem in other areas, so I'm not sure what's wrong with this particular area. Apparently the door doesn't like to float around in the ether at all.



The barrel on the other hand is strange indeed. I check out the area, place the barrel in the area, check the area in. I want to see if the barrel is still there, so I check the area back out, and it has disappeared again. I'm certain that I'm not undoing the checkout. The barrel is still on the list of area items. It's like I clicked off the show placeables button, but I didn't. When I tested in game, the barrel was not there. I just changed the model; I'm going to test in game and see if that changes anything.



Like I said, maybe it'll have magically fixed itself by tomorrow. I'm going to hope...

Your database might have become corrupt or the indexes messed up or something similar.

I'd suggest a B2B export; restore a blank database and a B2B load to see if it fixes your issue. You don't want to develop on a broken database only to lose all your work due to some database inconsistency.

A door being 'half outside' of a room should not cause it to disappear.



So yes, you might want to investigate reinstalling the toolset, making sure you don't have some sort of other database craziness going on on your PC, etc.
