    Default Expression Chip won't place

    Hey, I'm new to wiremod, and I can't get my expression chip to place. I can edit expressions, but I don't get the option to choose what the chip looks like, or anything like that, and when I go to place it, it won't. There isn't even a ghost image to show where it will go. Any ideas as to what could be wrong? Thanks.

    Sean

    edit-To forstall questions, it's not my expression, it won't work with any of the examples either. Also, it's happening with the CPU chip, too, but NOT any of the other gates.

    Do you have the latest SVN? Do you get a displayed error upon attempting to create the expressions (be sure to check console)? Does it only happen on single player or does it happen on other people's servers also?

    I have the latest SVN, and there's no error, and I've only tried on single player.

    Try it on multiplayer. It will help isolate the issue.

    Well, I tried on multiplayer, and it seems NOTHING from wiremod works there. I can see the wire menu, but I can't set the tool gun to anything on it.

    This actually happened to me the other day.. for the first time. I was in the middle of writing updates to my expression (which was already placed) and I couldn't update it. Nothing would show up when I clicked. Somehow it ended up fixing itself after me going click happy.

    No idea what happened, but only happened once. Singleplayer.

    My expression gate have been very naughty lately. :P
    Most gates I code don't work, even the simplest. They will spawn, everything works, etc... but the code just doesn't work. But this seemed to only happen on my friends server, so it's his problem. I don't think I have this problem on singleplayer or other servers.

    Your problem is that you are missing the models, or something vital to the models. Because that it exactly what happens when you don't have the selected model, it won't place.

    Make sure you got all three wiremod folders in addon, etc, etc.

    That sounds like it's the problem, but all three folders are in addon, and everything else seems to be in order. Where exactly should the models in question be? Maybe I can find exactly what's missing.


    --edit

    I've been looking at my file structure, and there's two models folders, one is just "models" and the other is "model pack 1". They're nowhere near eachother in the hierarchy. Could the problem be something to do with that?
