Transferring single animation=error

04-10-2006, 02:48 PM

I'm trying to give the eredar warlock a new death animation (hellscream's). After transferring the single animation, yobguls converter refuse to do his job. Since when transferring all the animation I don't have this problem, there must be some kind of syntax error somewere...
I tried with Warshape too, but it's still too bugged for that.

Anyone can point me a way to transfer the animation manually with notepad?

shadow1500	I've had problems transfering animations from those demon warlock units too, i think their bone structure is different than other models.

Rao Dao Zao	I suggest isolating the syntax error. Magos' model editor can help point the way these days. I'm sure anim transfer's consumed bits on me before. The manual way of transferring single animations is incredibly time consuming.

Metal_Sonic64	Look at the bone names, all Geo_something, that could be a problem.

Rao Dao Zao	Bones don't work with AnimTransfer; only Helpers. There's another source of error.

Magos' editor can't even open it. It give me this error:

Rao Dao Zao	Precisely. That little error can be used to discover where the fault is. Looks to me like you're missing a closing bracket somewhere.

Guesst	In Bone_Foot_L you are mixing types of keys. I made an mdl <-> mdx converter for Project Revolution, which points out errors like that.

Can you please elaborate what the error is?

Look at the rotation of Bone_Foot_L:

Code:

	Rotation 114 {
		Linear,
		167: { -0.129412, -0.108985, 0.00631306, 0.985563 },
		867: { -0.141293, -0.12958, 0.00644735, 0.981429 },
		1667: { -0.129412, -0.108985, 0.00631305, 0.985563 },
...
		57467: { 0.292051, -0.257575, 0.0240099, -0.920752 },
		57667: { 0.129412, 0.108985, -0.00631306, -0.985563 },
		57767: { -0.145496, -0.365579, 0.176886, 0.902161 },
			InTan { -0.168216, -0.311488, 0.198142, 0.914012 },
			OutTan { -0.168216, -0.311488, 0.198142, 0.914012 },
		57967: { -0.233083, -0.526465, 0.0434859, 0.816466 },
			InTan { -0.261933, -0.593935, 0.00109124, 0.760678 },
			OutTan { -0.261933, -0.593935, 0.00109124, 0.760678 },
		58134: { -0.190948, -0.384966, 0.0756392, 0.899788 },
			InTan { -0.183483, -0.370012, 0.0799022, 0.907216 },
			OutTan { -0.183483, -0.370012, 0.0799022, 0.907216 },
...
	}

There are first some linear rotation keys (with no InTan/OutTan parts) and then it is switched to ones with InTan/OutTan. This is probably because the animation you transferred had that second type of keys. It should be fixable by just removing all the lines that start with InTan/OutTan for that bone's rotation.

Nasrudin	Indeed that was the problem; it works now, thanks a lot!
