sapien debug:

11.06.09 04:02:07 the model 'levels\scenery\the_volume\the_volume' and the animation graph 'levels\scenery\the_volume\the_volume' don't match
11.06.09 04:02:08 the object 'levels\scenery\the_volume\the_volume' will not animate

^was with JMW, haven't tried the JMO yet....model just rotates and has a few pieces rotating around it.


also, both JMW and JMO are "saved at 0 bytes" in tool..is that normal?

Usually that error comes up when the node hierarchy between the model and animation have been changed and/or different, also try .JMM?

What?

JMA.

It works.

On the contrary to popular belief, you should be using JMM for basic animations.

So, check that your scenery's nodes (or bones) are the same in both your model and exported animation, and export as JMM.

Why? What's the difference. I though JMA was base animation.

i tried JMW initially because the rotation was about 0,0,0...i have no idea what made me think JMO...retarded i guess.

i was able to fix the error by changing the checksum number in the animation tag, but it still doesn't animate...i'm thinking it was wrong for a reason... i'll try it as JMM and JMA, you guys can place bets on the winner lol

Are your animations and model in the same max file.

Are you using blitzkrieg or blue streak?

alright thanks guys...it works now...JMM and JMA both :iamafag:

bluestreak (max9) they're in the same file, i really don't know why the checksum was different, i mean, i got it to work with kornman v2, but still...shouldn't they be the same? i guess i could just say fuck it - it works :eng101: i'm just happy i had a successful 2nd attempt at animating lolz

Blue streak and node check sums don't jive.

There's a modified one floating around somewhere that lets you change the node checksum for blue streak.

modified exporter?

oh wait, i lied...i didn't use bluestreak...wtf did i use...it's a separate exporter. like i said though, i used kornman v2 to change the checksum.

i'm gonna post of vid of this scenery too because it needs to be more betterer. :eng101:

Make the flying hexagons 2-sided. You can check it off in the shader.

will do, will do....any ideas on adding some particles...like fireflies i guess?, and anything to make it more hologram-like...this might sound stupid but i'm going for "magically technological"
