[3DSMAX|REL] OpenIV openFormats I/O

[Rented]

I still have problems with exporting.

 

The hierarchy is still messed up, I just don't understand it.

 

Here's what I did(on the Rancher):

 

-Delete everything that relates to:

• extra_1
• extra_3
• extra_4
• extra_5

-Attach cm_bodyshell to cm_extra_2

-Attach cm_bodyshell_med to cm_extra_2_med

-Attach cm_chassis_low to cm_extra_2_low

-Attach chassis_1 to extra_2_1

-Link window_lr, window_rr and windscreen_r to chassis (all of their children have been correctly linked as well)

Not all shader params are set

Now i finally got the model exported Importing into OpenIV and ingame it works perfectly. but, zmodeler can't import the file. It ends up with "firetruk.wft" and no children or mesh imported at all. Any ideas what it could be? No error on export from 3ds with OFIO. and works in OpenIV and ingame.

 

It does take alot of time tho, for the model to export from 3DS. Could that mean that theres an issue? Or is it just that way with bigger models?

Since game and OpenIV works fine I guess this is zModeler error.

[Firstyminator]

Crap. That was what i feared. Checked the filedata too. Im no expert, but could not find any mismatch that should say it wont work.

 

EDIT:

 

Well i might found an issue related to it. Doing the donor swap of a lightbar from another vehicle. Works fine if i remove the Misc_d parts completely.

But if they are added, OpenIV imports the file, but crashes when im trying to render it in OpenIV modelviewer.

 

Are there some rules to dummies? They should be in the right hiearchy. They were dragged and dropped directly from the donor model and over to my model, and it exports with no issues.

Any chance to read out some information regarding the crash from here GooD? this is the log when OpenIV crashes. It surely states something with Skeletonz Maybe i let them out of the closet

Here is the one actually working ingame. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/47832794/firetruk.wft

Okay, I see now, some Indexes in bones are incorrect. Theoretically you can fix it by change bone Index in object properties in 3Ds Max, but it is quite not right.

We will think on a better solution.

Can i ask if there is any rule to follow editing the index numbers? Just not two of the same type? or does index need a special number for certain types of meshes? feks driverside_seat has index = 17 ?

Go to OpenIV and in context menu on your file click "Resource explorer", then go to Skeletone-Bones and you will see:

In this particular case BoneIndex and Mirror must be equal 29 not 41 (the index in list on the left side)

You can check all bones and see other incorrect Indexes, some of them out of the list.

Aah.. i think i understand.

So for me starting with chassis as Bone 0, ill just index them in the order of appearance in 3Dsmax maybe? Because some of the indexes are far out from what

they originally was i guess. And the parts i've donated from another vehicle also had indexes far away from the numbers the rest of the dummies has.

 

And of course for lights and doors, mirror should be the indexnumber of the opposite door?

Not sure if this will work, but I think you can just get correct indexes from OpenIV.

Nope, they must be the same as Index (I know this is not logical but this how original models works).

Well this shed some light on my issue at least! Now i've got something to work with Going to research the index from the original models, and see if my model will work if i name them accordingly. It's a nasty issue though. Not

sure if it's something i've done, or if its the OFIO script that does this. It surely makes the job with the models a bit complex

 

 

EDIT : Manually fixed

One question though.( again ) Could this be the issue that causes the .WFT to not be compatible with Zmodeler after Export?

Edited November 19, 2014 by Firstyminator

ZModeller is limited to the standard fragment structure , thats it .

Not sure.

But anyway, if you able to use 3Ds Max with openFormats I/O to edit/create vehicles why you need zModeler then?

 

@Firstyminator did you solve the other issues with material/shaders parameters that you have?

 

Im working on two vehicle models with each its own set of issues of course the one is an ambulance which is nearly finished. But upon export i do recieve errors leading me to materials shader errors. As there is no tutorial to set them up properly from scratch, im really in need of help of someone that have used it before

Well to be honest i like the way Zmodeler works with textures vs the way 3dsmax works. Uvw mapping in 3ds is much easier, but setting the materials and props is better in zmodeler. But its just a matter of learning and understanding i think and i will get the other model to work too noe that i can repair the index issues thanks to you

But thumbs up to Alexander for making this work for us using 3d studio max.

 

Only thing i would love to see, is a little guide to set materials right, and to fix the index ID, because i would not have a clue if it was not for GooD here But i guess thats a bug maybe?

Okay so I don't know if you guys(yes there's two of you who could have replied) have either

not seen my post

was too busy with fristyminator's issue

did not bother to(yes sorry its a bit long) or could not view the video

or just realized that the I/O has an issue that for some reason messes up the hierarchies(well it did on one occasion but I managed to find its cause)

 

If you can't view the video, or have any of the mentioned issues, please tell me as I can not do anything due this issue.

Haha Sorry bro! maybe i could help with the issue? Maybe post a picture of your heehaarchy ?

 

By the video it seems like you have the same issue as me. You have to edit the index ID's manually in 3DS object props for each item. Shown in OpenIV's Resource Explorer. ( CTRL+R and click your way to [ drawable - skeleton - bones ] and name the dummies in 3dsmax ( Object Properties - User Defined ) with the correct BoneIndex, BoneID and MirrorID relative to the list in OpenIV

Oh shoot, I just briefly read your issue and I thought you have problems with character models, my apologies.

 

 

Hope you also get your issues solved Now i just have to try to learn how to properly set materials they can be a biii*ch No for char models i still use GIMS

 

Yes thanks it worked... The only thing I can't do with materials is UV Map them as the picture is not actually linked to it, only its name.

Okay so I don't know if you guys(yes there's two of you who could have replied) have either

not seen my post

was too busy with fristyminator's issue

did not bother to(yes sorry its a bit long) or could not view the video

or just realized that the I/O has an issue that for some reason messes up the hierarchies(well it did on one occasion but I managed to find its cause)

 

If you can't view the video, or have any of the mentioned issues, please tell me as I can not do anything due this issue.

 

Haha Sorry bro! maybe i could help with the issue? Maybe post a picture of your heehaarchy ?

 

By the video it seems like you have the same issue as me. You have to edit the index ID's manually in 3DS object props for each item. Shown in OpenIV's Resource Explorer.

No problem at all just apply the UV mapping, and in the Mapping window, press the [ CheckerPattern ( Checker ) ] in the top right corner and press Pick Texture.

Choose the texture you're using for the object you are mapping, and you're good to go mapping your textures properly

Everything exporting properly, but i really hope there will be a fix for the ID issues when removing or adding object dummies

Wish i could say so But i've just added new stuff like the rear Hänsch led housing, the front hella-light holder w/ led housing and redone alot on the model itself. It was rather incomplete

The devil is in the details, so i'll keep on adding and removing till i reach the Norwegian look im after

 

This is how it looked from the start

i installed this like read me file said, i went and raised the ram to 512 mb and switched to png after i try whit out first, still it says it dont have proper import module in 3ds max 2015.

where i can get 2012 version? if that is the problem, this can be frustrating as every info is scattered/dated and answers can made several days later.

all i want is giant size player model as 4-5 story´s high and proportionally wide, the texture can be distorted as long the skeleton has normal movement, i was trying to make giant robot from objects in map whit snt 6.5.

Herro again Just one curios question

 

The model is now working as i wanted. Fixed the minor issues with general poking into the other models so im almost there! Only thing left is that the Front indicators is lit all the time. Any particular reason why this could be? It's mapped with same texture as the rear ones which works perfectly. And they got the default dummies, only reoriented from the original indicatorlights that was in the lower front part of the chassis.

 

I detached two parts from the chassis, and made them indicator_lf and *_rf , but still they are lit all the time.

Allright. Sorted out the lights issues by seeking out any changes. I found that the vertex Alpha channel has to be different for each light After about 20 hours of exploring

As there is no option to import the wft into zmodeler after export in OFIO, are there any guide how to set up multiple liveries on a vehicle ? I've tried to use same settings as the default vehicles, with paint2 and paint3, but still ingame it will not show multiple liveries on my model.

[MIXAZZZ]

Use for 'liveries' 2nd UV channel to your model.
