Blender importer/exporter [1.7.0]

[Isaac]

...But thank you for your reply.

No slight intended.

You did state it in your post, (and I missed it). It's easy to miss the export format, and someone who has might even still phrase their question as you did... with or without the quotes.

As for the image, I am not at home, and do not have access to LoG1 nor above Blender v,2.82.

It's a strange bug then; probably best for minmay to investigate.

You're right, it doesn't work. Fortunately this seems to be a one line fix; look for this block at line 2492:

Code: Select all

        # write animation to file depending on Grimrock version
        if settings.grimrock_version == 'LOG1':
            anim.write_v1(file_object)
        else:
            anim.write_v2(file_object)

and change it to:

Code: Select all

        # write animation to file depending on Grimrock version
        if settings.grimrock_version == 'LOG1':
            anim.version = 1
            anim.write_v1(file_object)
        else:
            anim.write_v2(file_object)

Sorry for the inconvenience, I'm amazed that I never tested that in-game...



I have been working on version 1.5.1, which will have vertex color support fixed. Another issue I found is that some bones in rigged models can get their transforms messed up when exporting (fjeld_warg.fbx is a good example), which I made a lame workaround for, which will probably end up being the permanent "fix" because I can't figure out why this issue is happening...

Thank you minmay for the fix.

Updated to work in Blender 3.2+. Sorry, I totally missed that there was a breaking change until today.

Also finally added vertex color support. Under normal circumstances, vertex colors are ignored by both Grimrock games. However, if you are using umods to use custom shaders, you can access vertex colors in those shaders.

I'm having trouble exporting animations for a monster I made. (An imp, if you must know).
The animations keep coming out as 24 bytes in size. I have more bones than that, times more frames!

No error message.

The hierarchy is right (mesh and rig parented to local srt, root node, game matrix - and those are imported empties).
I ungrouped the channels (though maybe it's only an issue if some are grouped and some aren't).

I have exported edited animations for existing monsters, and those worked fine, e.g., a monster using the ogre skeleton and animations which can also breathe an element, and a wizard who isn't too lazy to walk sometimes instead of warping only.

But this from-scratch monster won't export a bit of useful info.

I'm using the exporter 1.5.0 and Blender 2.90.1.

Big fun mod in progress. Needs some plot glue, a working final boss (animation and enhanced AI), more allies, and - the hardest part sometimes - a better title.

[minmay]

Would you be willing to send me the .blend file? My chances of being able to fix that would be much better that way...

[DaggorathMaster]

Sure, how should I send it?
I have Google Drive.

[minmay]

A Google Drive link would be perfect! You can PM it to me on the forums (my inbox has room for 3 more private messages...) or on the Discord server.

Oh looks like I missed making it public. [CLICK]

OK great (answered not on this forum, but by minmay).

The objects were in a collection, not in the main scene.

So I just needed to select all, hit m, and choose "Scene Collection".
