Why ofp doesnt want to open my pbo?

[DiS8]

I made a poster.pbo, everything imho went right, cpp right and all that stuff ok.
I opened an editorand placed my object (static building) and than preview

I recieved popup window with
"cannot open object "data 3d\poster\poster.pbo""

WTF?

Hi,  

Just a thought... sounds like you might have mis-typed the object's model filename in your CONFIG.CPP file.  Check the "MODEL = " line and make sure that it's correctly pointing to a .P3D file and not a .PBO file.

I've inadvertantly made that mistake a couple times myself, automatically typing .PBO instead of .P3D...  Nowdays I avoid that problem altogether by leaving off the .P3D extension in the filename string.
