General OpenIV Discussion and Announcements

[TheChopShop]

if I use the srtbig0 file, I get a CTD (no LOD's tho) - altho thx to Doomer, my original CTD problem is fixed (some of my file names exceeded 24 characters)

 

and this is still happening on my end - COL is present, but no visible objects (results are the same using base node, and using map node without the srtbig0)

 

[3Doomer]

I still have problems with WPL

 

I loved the way GIMS worked when it was just 1 WPL file.

what problems?

 

Old scheme with 1 WPL makes LOD creation harder

[pmillett]

I finally figured out how to export IDE and WPL. Someone's video I watched was wrong. TriDoomer's video was what I needed. (which I'm guessing is 3doomer's?)

 

 

*EDIT* the WPL is empty.

Sorry for the double post but:

 

What am I doing wrong here?

 

 

 

*EDIT* So I guess the dummy named LOD was the issue. Renamed to base. but now I get this issue:

 

 

-- Error occurred in getnames(); filename: C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2010\scripts\startup\GIMS\18_GIMS_GUI.mse; position: 593; line: 8--  Defined in encrypted script--   called in Refresh(); filename: C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2010\scripts\startup\GIMS\18_GIMS_GUI.mse; position: 2534; line: 18--  Defined in encrypted script--   called in lodman_rol.open(); filename: C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2010\scripts\startup\GIMS\18_GIMS_GUI.mse; position: 4883; line: 26--  Defined in encrypted script>> MAXScript Rollout Handler Exception: -- No "map" function for undefined <<

The new structure's explained HERE

[pmillett]

ok I got that far but I'm getting that error I posted:

 

 

-- Error occurred in getnames(); filename: C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2010\scripts\startup\GIMS\18_GIMS_GUI.mse; position: 593; line: 8--  Defined in encrypted script--   called in Refresh(); filename: C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2010\scripts\startup\GIMS\18_GIMS_GUI.mse; position: 2534; line: 18--  Defined in encrypted script--   called in lodman_rol.open(); filename: C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2010\scripts\startup\GIMS\18_GIMS_GUI.mse; position: 4883; line: 26--  Defined in encrypted script>> MAXScript Rollout Handler Exception: -- No "map" function for undefined <<

 

 

I got the hierarchy right this time. Just the "No 'map' function for undefined."

[3Doomer]

what's the build date?

 

and show the exact hierarchy for that error

[pmillett]

Says GIMS Build 11.4.2011

 

Hierarchy is:

 

 

it says in your post to use lodm (LOD Manager I presume) i even tried just lod, lods, just base, etc and I get that error each time.

 

Error up close:

 

 

I would like to note that base is listed under type. but only NULL is under LOD.

Edited April 11, 2011 by pmillett

[3Doomer]

that's because only OBJS section's supported

 

LODM is unknown

 

11.04.2011 19:44 version's the newest, try...there was nearly 10 builds today

Edited April 11, 2011 by 3Doomer

[pmillett]

oh so then how do I export LODs? just remove the LODm dummy?

 

 

*EDIT* the only one I found is the 16:30 build

 

 

**EDIT** nevermind I figured it out. change LODM to objs

[pmillett]

thank you very much. I know I must seem like a pain. the BTTFHV mod is looking to hopefully bring the mod to IV as well. So I'm trying to learn IV mapping. So I appreciate your patience.

[3Doomer]

I'm glad to know about bugs and get feedback

 

New build 11.04.2011 20:45

[pmillett]

Already? wow, the only other person with as many updates/upgrades as you is Steve Jobs XD So WDR exports a little you said right? just no shaders?

[quechus13]

I'm going to wait for the new build

[3Doomer]

Tomorrow WDR export'll support vertex blend and smoothing groups

[quechus13]

Do you have a polycount limit?

[pmillett]

Will the WDR export you use be a whole new exporter and not just a modified script from SL? I'm really getting irritated on how SL fails on exporting my models so miserably.

[3Doomer]

I'll try to improve/fix this buggy script...may be, there won't remain Shadow's codes

I'm already on my own exporter.

 

As soon as the openFormats'll be ready, I'll delete this awful thing and make the oF exporter.

[vans123]

that souns pretty beautiful

[quechus13]

Finally got the hang of it, looks like now I have Counter Strike's Dust Map in my game

 

THANK YOU GUYS!

3Doomer do u know why Update allways makes loop of command-windows? some access denied or soemthing like that? would be great having fixed woring updater

[3Doomer]

Dos commands're executed there

[3Doomer]

hmmm....I'd like to test this object

[pmillett]

This model has caused nothing but hell >.< I would lend it to you to test but... the modeler doesn't like the idea He's very protective of his work.

@3doomer I have the same problem...

I have the same problem to export a wdr

[pmillett]

few, I was beginning to think it was just me
