this is kind of a continuation of a topic that someone else posted:
the very first time i tried to make an elevator, a long time ago, following the tutorials, it wouldn't work (this was with MotS). i found that the cogs that come in JED don't always work just by clicking on them when you go to "add cog" i don't know why. i found that if i extracted the same cog with conman and placed it in my proj dir, etc, then it worked just fine. why is that? is it something to do with MotS? it's wierd to me how you can add some cogs by choosing them from the list that pops up when you go to add cog, and they work just fine, but other cogs don't work that way. why is that? what i've done in the past is place them first using jed, then try them in my project dir if that doesn't work.

That happens to me with the COGs that are associated directly with the levels (IE - 01, 41, etc.) Weird...

It's not wierd at all. You just have to understand how the game works.

JK and MotS look in only 2 places for cogs, mats etc. - the episode gob and the resource gob. If you use a cog that was included in the original games episode gob (like most of the ones with 01, 41 etc in the names) it will not be able to find them for a custom level. It will be looking in the episode gob for your level and the resource gob. You have to put the cog into your episode gob (by putting it in your project directory) so the game can find it.
