RW WIP DragonFF - Blender GTA I/O

[juikol]

so what should i do to import it correctly?

[The Hero]

every atomic in the dff has to have its transformation reset to identity before you apply the IPL transformation.

[juikol]

 i really appreciate the help, but can you be specific on what should i use and in what order?

sorry, i'm a  total noob in gta modding

[The Hero]

I'm not familiar with the tools, i'm just saying whatever tools you're using is doing wrong.

Hey guys, I'm kind of new in editing GTA SA on blender 2.80a. and I was hoping to get some advice... So I downloaded the dragonfly blender zip file on GitHub and it's awesome, but when I export my models as .col nothing happens, sometimes the file is 0 bytes..

 

what can I do for it to work?

I think you have to set its type as Collision under the DragonFF panel on the right side. It's where you choose export pipelines, whether to use vertex colors, normals, etc.

There's no vg limit error in DragonFF. The vertex groups are automatically limited to the limit on export.

That is not DragonFF.

You are using 2.79 and GTA Tools

COL files not working in Blender

[ajanhallinta]

I've been using this plugin to make a new map from scratch for the GTASA. I wrote three simple barebone scripts to be able to export IPL and IDE -files from the Blender. They work rather well for my purpose so I decided to share them in the case that somebody will find use for them, or maybe improve them.

 

You can find them from my GitHub and there is also some kind of tutorial/explanation how to use them: https://github.com/ajanhallinta/GTASA-BlenderMapExport

Guys, what is max minute of ifp anim?

[ceec]

I can't import maps correctly, have missing parts. I imported the map segments: LAs2, LAs, LAn2, LAn, look:

[Tut98]

There are IPL files stored in the .img files as well, not just in main dir.

There's a brief thread on this if you fancy a read.

Hello! Could someone help me? I'm trying to back-port a modded car, back to OBJ. (Yes the author gave me permission, but he can't give me the model, because he lost it), and Blender keeps giving me this error:

 

Can someone help me with this? I also tried to open the dff file in Zmodeller, but it gives an error as well

 

Maybe someone can port it for me? 

 

Thanks

@Parik Will there be instructions for working with UV animation?
I tried loading a model with UV animation in blender and playing it back, everything works fine, but when exporting the model, the animation on it broke and the game had a fixed texture. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

The problem is solved. The animation didn't work if there was more than one vertex color

What was the solution? I'm having similar problems.

Change the ambient shading, it controls how dark/light the material is.

Hmm, I don't think that solution will work for me.

Here I've made a player model using a VC model body with a SA model head. Whatever shading properties are used on SA models was carried over into the new VC model. The whole model uses the same material and it is all a single mesh.

Looks more like a TXD issue to me but maybe try deleting the materials and making new ones.

I have updated my branch which adds stream ipl files, I may have posted vague instructions a few pages back. I'm too lazy to check

the solution was to import the model in 3ds max using kam's script, and exporting the model using the vertex normal option

You can do the same thing in Blender by checking the "Export Normals" option in the object properties.
