ascottk@Posted: Sun Oct 08, 2006 2:51 am Post subject: def_head (or general md5) offsets & other problems: Hi all, I have a bit of a problem. It seems as though md5 meshes hate having an offset (or similar) variable. They show up as blackboxes. Anyone know any work arounds or sdk/script fixes for that?

The Dark Mod is currently converting the AI to have swapable heads but the skeletons we're using have the head bone way too high for the doom 3 heads. I ended up tweaking the head joints so I could attach the heads to our current skeleton. But we may want to have vanilla doom 3 heads as part of the heads we can attach. As soon as we add an offset or similar the meshes show as black boxes. That's rather inconvenient.

I toyed with the option of using doom 3 skeletons but our skeletons are a little more versatile & the d3 skels didn't play well with the Dark Mod meshes.

Another problem I'm having is that the maya exporter (I'm using Maya 6.5 & the 6.5 version of MayaImportx86) refuses to include some meshes in the mb so they're missing in the md5mesh. I've done just about every trick & troubleshooting tips on these forums (delete history, freeze transformations, made sure they are properly triangulated, properly rigged & weighted, each mesh is pointing to a different texture & so on) but the exporter refuses to see these meshes.

I successfully resized & modified another one of our AI so it could use a head attachment but the problematic one, well, is still being problematic. I did the same steps as my successful attempt but nothing works.

Here's the full def of the AI I'm trying to do do:

Code:

ascottk@Posted: Sun Oct 08, 2006 5:48 am Post subject: : Sorry for the double post but I'm almost figuring out why the exporter is ignoring the meshes. I added all the joints I need in the options in the def file in order to match the number of joints in the mesh to the animations. But when I do that the exporter ignores the meshes.

When I leave out the -keep option then the meshes are there, but it adds a lot of unecessary joints so the mesh joints doesn't match the animations. It's a catch 22, leave out the -keep option & keep the meshes, or only keep the joints the animations need & lose some meshes.

I also tried -keep with joints I didn't rig to the mesh, but the exporter only keeps those joints. I also tried the -parent joint option.

It's possible the 6.5 version of MayaImportx86 might be a little screwy.

Here's what the animation joints look like in a text editor:
