[V|REL] GIMS Evo for GTA V

Check collision models, if they are triangled, the flags not will to work and you need to redo the collision process. Also, sometimes GIMS import collision models as triangled models and with broken vertexes, that disable the collision in game, you need to weld all and mark in the Mesh modifier flag: Geometry and not BVH (this one only works with not triangled meshes and without broken vertexes), but probably you'll need to edit the metadata map/prop file, for that is better if you do corrections to delete triangled state in the collision model and weld every vertex to keep using current imported flags .

Thanks for your detal replay~ :)

I've checked the collision gims imported which is game's original collision model, it seems it's not a geometry, it's an EGIMS_V_col_box. And I tried to set flags, still not work.

For now, I use a model which I created as a collision. I copied object model and gave it a collision mesh modifier, and then set flags.

It works now.

 

For those original game collision models, I just delete them.

If you export a yft file as open formats to get a .skel file, is it possible to edit that .skel file and then use that as a skeleton to build a ped modification on, by rigging the mesh to the modified bone positions? I.e. would Gims happily read that in as a valid bones definition file and would OpenIV import it as a valid ped YFT file? I have a ped model I want to convert, I don't want to use ZM3 but as far as I am aware, Gims doesn't allow for bone editing..(or does it?)

 

So anyway, my thought was, export the .skel file, create a mod that displays the .skel file as a set of props and lines that would let you edit it, then write out the skel file that reflects the changes. To get the skeleton the right size, I could make a prop out of the mesh obj file and display that in-game with a reduced Alpha level, so the bones would be visible through the mesh.

 

The ped model isn't standard proportions, so it won't rig to a standard skeletion. I don't want to deform the mesh to fit a standard skeleton, because it will just look wrong. If anyone could offer up any insight, it would genuinely be very much appreciated.

 

Thank you.

@LeeC2202 you can't import .skel back into YFT. Skeleton is only one of many parts inside YFT resource.

 

Also, not sure if it even possible to edit skeleton of the ped. Yeah, you can change bone positions/rotations, but, game animations are made for original skeletone.

 

Since we don't have openFormats for YFT (yet), you actually can test this in GTA IV. In GTA IV we have all requaired formats. So, you can edit model and skeleton for ped and see how the game would react to this.

@OpenIV Team Ah, okay... that saves me writing a mod that wouldn't work then.

 

I only wanted to move the bone positions, just to get longer legs in proportion to the torso length.,, and the arms are probably slightly shorter too. I have seen a few characters do that, so I presumed that level of editing was at least possible. I hate characters that have had the mesh stretched to fit.

 

Thanks for the info though, I am just trying to tick things off my bucket list and getting this ped done was one of my main GTAV Modding ones. My only option is to do it myself, so I thought it was worth asking the question. I appreciate the answer, very much so.

It says in the FAQ that I could use " +Any 3D MAX version from 9(with Service Pack 2 and \"AvGuard DLX Extension\") to 2016."

Does that mean that I will not be able to use my new 3DS MAX 2019 version with this?

Do I have to install 2016 or older to be able to use this?

Will there be an update for newer versions of 3DSMAX?

@3Doomer is it possible to add an automatic button to lower all the winds bars "umGlobalParams" to zero and what's the limited vertex/polygon number for characters?! Thanks!

Seeing as this site doesn't seem to give a crap about the info in these pages, I thought I would rebuild the info heirarchy on the first page. I am tired of seeing all the useful info mashed into an unintelligible single-line of text. Code you can search and split on the semi-colon character but not every bit of info is code, so I did this by manually splitting each line out.

That means GIMS for GTA IV has some bugs and can't export some stuff.

Unfortunately, IDK who can/will fix them for you...

 

Also, this is not a thread about GIMS IV.

Hi my bros I have some problems with ped model .When I make model with single part head only it be work perfectly with no bugs but if I make ped with multi parts head teef lower upper etc it become shaky and fluid like venom from spider man D:PLEASE  show this pic https://ibb.co/fR87vf

and I want make Antman mod so make model big and make another model small with scale mesh and bones but this not work it become like that https://ibb.co/kQPfFf

please help guys

zakawa how did you make  the model single part head -thank you

 

[zakawa]

@4Brad  I  modification model which have head only but I want to make head ,teef,upper and lower with multi object and model in game became like pics when it movies

 

@Rarefacer  could you help me bro

[Guest]

@3DoomerThere seems to a bug with the Col Box that can result in the Bounds values being written with AABBMax and AABBMin the wrong way round.

 

I spent over an hour trying to fix fautly collision last night and it was only when I opened the .bound file in notepad, that I saw the problem. AABBMin had positive values, AABBMax had negative values. The minute I swapped them round, the collision worked. But nothing in Max indicated that the Col Box was in fact inverted. It looked exactly the same as the working Col Box on another prop I had installed.

 

The natural presumption with faulty collision is flags, so it's lots of setting flags, exporting, importing, restart the game etc...

 

I don't know anything about Max scripting but if there's the possiblity that you can add some checking for Min > Max, that might prove useful.

hi guys
how can i export any model with Unwrap UVW from GimsEvo?
any method or tutorial ?

[MasterBates]

Does GIMS support import of rigged GTA V cutscene character models? I tried to import some of them in 3ds Max 2012, but unlike the regular pedestrians, there is no single .odd file that ties everything together. I can import all the separate parts, but only the head comes with a skeleton and correct bone names, everything else is all "fake bone" with no connection to the skeleton. Since i work mainly with Blender i don't know much about 3ds max, i only need it to get a correctly rigged character exported as fbx.

Copy a working skelection file and rename it to your cutscene skel file. Or you simply rename the bones and rig it.

I have the corresponding skeleton file "cs_[charactername].skel" in the same folder with the mesh parts, but it doesn't help, i get "fake bone" instead of correct bone names. The head part has the full skeleton and the separate mesh parts have weights:

https://i.imgur.com/KqeS2Hv.png

 

but when i export to fbx or dae, all vertex groups are gone, blender imports bones as empties/plain axes. I found a way to keep the vertex groups by exporting the fbx again to dae format from a program called Noesis but no luck with the skeleton. Exporting the head with skeleton to fbx, it keeps only the head bones. I suppose i have to bind the other mesh parts to the skeleton somehow, but not entirely sure about that. How do i proceed from here?

You copied a working skel file to the folder and rename it? Or did you keeped the broken one?

[MasterBates]

The cutscene models are in the file "x64g.rpf". For every character folder, there is also a yft-file of the same name. That's the file i used, converted to open formats .skel. What do you mean by "working" skel file? Where else should i look for skeleton files?

[Bob_74]

I think there is an issue with the .bound file after exporting.

 

I've been stuck on this issue since the last few days, trying to create models with embedded collisions.

 

I imported an existing model (prop_aerial_01a) into 3dsmax (2012 x64) and exported it directly.

The exported model didn't have any collisions in game.

 

I took a look at the .bound files before and after exporting:

 

Original prop_aerial_01a.bound:

phBound
{
	Type BoundBox
	Radius 0.69018410
	AABBMax 0.51773830 0.45629060 0.01000001
	AABBMin -0.51773830 -0.45629060 -0.01000001
	Centroid 0.00000000 0.00000000 0.00000000
	CG 0.00000000 0.00000000 0.00000000
	Margin 0.00250000
	Material
	{
		MaterialIndex 55
		ProcId 0
		RoomId 0
		PedDensity 0
		PolyFlags FLAG_NOT_CLIMBABLE FLAG_SEE_THROUGH FLAG_SHOOT_THROUGH FLAG_NOT_COVER FLAG_NO_DECAL
		MaterialColorIndex 0
	}
}

 

Exported prop_aerial_01a.bound:

phBound
{
	Type BoundBox
	AABBMin 0.5177383 0.4562906 0.0100000
	AABBMax -0.5177383 -0.4562906 -0.0100000
	Radius 0.690184
	Centroid 0.0000000 0.0000000 0.0000000
	CG 0.0000000 0.0000000 0.0000000
	Margin 0.0025
	Material
	{
		MaterialIndex 55
		ProcId 0
		RoomId 0
		PedDensity 0
		PolyFlags FLAG_NO_DECAL FLAG_NOT_CLIMBABLE FLAG_NOT_COVER FLAG_SEE_THROUGH FLAG_SHOOT_THROUGH
		MaterialColorIndex 0
	}
	VertexColors null
	MaterialColors null
}

The values of AABBMax and AABBMin are switched (AABBMax parameter values from the original file are switched into the AABBMin parameter in the exported file).

 

I switched back the values and the collisions are now working.

I mentioned the exact same problem a few posts up, it drove me absolutely crazy one night trying to work out what it was. By pure chance I opened the .bound file and spotted it.

 

The thread seems pretty much dead though, so it's probably just something to keep an eye out for, when things go wrong.

Will the issue with vertex normals ever be fixed? Reported this almost 2 years ago, the issue still exists.

On 4/1/2017 at 6:30 PM, Jax765 said:

The blockiness shows up in the OpenIV viewer, which doesn't show the effect of normal maps. The textures are identical. The blockiness also immediately shows after attaching the component in Gims, so it's something up with the program, not the textures.

I am trying to import a building which i did, but i cant go in there. There is a collider what settings and flags do I use to separate the building, seats, and counter stuff like a mesh collider. 

Can some one help me I want to release this please and thank you.

Hey how are you doing there bates god bless. The method used for gta 4 still works for gta v. Just take a ped with everything body, and all import it then your model align the models together as close as possible. Now take a part from the body go to vertex ctrl+a to select all on the gta ped then attach to the part like head to head, and so on with your model .Once its done the ped should only be highlighted click delete on keyboard, and you should only see your models part after that you can play with the weight if needed, and export then done send it to open iv. You may need to separate your parts there its kinda like skyrim in a way all peds parts are in pieces on whole body part like that may cause more problems if you even get in there.

For some reason, the program has recently become a lot more sluggish to load up. Gets stuck with the "internet download" window for quite a while, both on startup of 3DS MAX, and when GIMS EVO itself is specifically loaded. This is with the manual install.

I can't seem to export anything at all, it crashes on export.
What can I do?
