Editing .LWS files, trouble with ShadowOptions 7

Hey fellow diggers,

 

I'm trying to work out how I can export edited .LWS files in a way that they will work.

For now, I have the Tunnel Transport mod, and want to add the DIGGERBACK into the TT. I can manage to get the object loaded into the Heli_Idle.lws scene, position it, etc, but when I export it as a 4.0 scene, it doesn't show up on the map. It is there, I can select it, but it's just invisible.

 

After a while of fiddling around with the files, comparing the to the original, replace parts, etc, I found that the invisibility issue is due to a missing value in the exported file, being the "ShadowOptions 7" line.

 

So, my question is, how can I configure LightWave to automatically add this vallue to the .lws when I export it? Which button or field sets this value? I can edit it in there manually, but i'd have to do it over and over again every time I make a slight ajustment.

 

Any help is appreciated!

 

Yur

Which version of Lightwave are you using? I use LW9 to export animations as Lightwave 5 LWS files to great success and I've never touched any shadow options.

The developers used Lightwave 5.6. You'll either need to export to Lightwave 5 as Cirevam suggested, or get a copy of Lightwave 5/5.6.
