Default Globally Loaded Door Models

I have been fiddling with door models today quite a bit and have been able to make locally loaded models display in zones outside the zone that I found the original model in. My question is: How would I make a model load globally rather than locally?

Non-local models are loaded by the client either on a zone-by-zone basis from the [zoneshortname]_chr.txt file, or globally for all zones if it's listed in GlobalLoad.txt.

So if the model you want is in gfaydark.s3d and you want to use it everywhere, you'd add a line in GlobalLoad.txt like:

Code:
4,0,TFFF,gfaydark,Loading Other Models
It goes in order by the first number. Don't know what the second number or the bitflag represent.

What if the model I want is in a .eqg file rather than a .s3d file? Is it the same idea?

Based on the layout of GlobalLoad.txt, it looks like you just add the extension for eqg files, so like:

Code:
4,0,TFFF,nektulos.eqg,Loading Other Models

I found my own solution, I ended up taking the files from the .eqg file using s3dspy and putting them in a file that is already being globally loaded.

Well, if you'd rather chop up eqg/s3d files than edit text files, that's entirely up to you. lol

Editing my GlobalLoad was making me crash so I tried this and it worked for me.

thuledream might be a newer eqg. If you're using it from UF, it may not load. Try using ROF2 and its OnDemandResources text file in the resources folder.

Also I recommend switching over to ROF2 in general. it's a better client, less bugs, and the ondemandresources file optimizes load times.
