Hello Guys this my first post :grin:
So I have been trying to make a couple of custom water planes for a PR Map I'm helping to make. I've tried to follow this tutorial as best I could but I'm a complete 3dMax noob...
Custom Waterplanes (Not the flying type) - Official BF Editor Forums
I'm using 3dmax 9 with the poe2 tools
The problem is that it looks right ingame but you can walk on it. Something went wrong with the collisionmesh..

It would be great if someone could have a look... and tell me where I went wrong.
I'm not sure if something went wrong with the export or the Material Editor or something else.
Heres a copy of the failed waterplane.

give it the material of water deep, then you will swim in it.

The thing is I think I did that when I made the tweak File.

I have compared the con and tweak files to the other working water planes and it's identical. I must have done something wrong in 3dmax.. The guide is a bit unclear and is missing the pics. I've remade the plane 3 times now with the same result...
