one thing i keep constantly getting annoyed about this is i can't import a .dts, then edit a mesh, then reexport without some error. or even just import/export directly.

the .dts I tried to edit was phydeoux's small city copter - import then immediate export throws this error. I'm running Blender 2.72. Linked here is the .dts.

try updating to 2.77 i noticed the handicapped errors im getting stopped

Shouldn't it be a 'single arrow' type empty?

[master king deaddude]

:o will vehicle joints, mountpoints exported just empties or bone/armatures?

[Trogtor]

Shouldn't it be a 'single arrow' type empty?

isnt that just a visual for it?

doesn't matter

:o will vehicle joints, mountpoints exported just empties or bone/armatures?

you should use empties for defining them, yes

isnt that just a visual for it?

yes

[master king deaddude]

Okay I'll try it I already exported a wildcat wheel with this plugin I haven't look at it in-game yet.
It look perfect In game. I'm still working on the Wildcat vehicle with newer version of DTS plugin I hope it won't messed up in-game.

still getting the same error i linked earlier after updating. cant import/export the Heavy Machine Gun .dts

Looking at the error, is it really blender's fault? it says tuple object doesn't have x attribute; that looks like an issue on your end port. would replacing quat.x with quat[0] fix it?

edit: probably not. i can import/export m.dts fine. it seems to be an issue with certain .dts files. should look into what makes these break your thing. the HMG is a considerably simpler model compared to phy's heli, so you probably should look at that first.

[master king deaddude]

you should use empties for defining them, yes

Oh okay it can exported both empties and bone without any errors? How I export vehicle with collision in different layer with this DTS plugin?

[Conan]

Does this happen to anyone else? The item model and my handheld model are the same.



this only happens if I'm on off shaders, any other shader looks fine.

Maybe the problem is in your code? Post it.

The hat image also comes up black. I'm pretty sure this is a model issue, since it looks fine with minimum or higher shaders on, but enlighten me i suppose

Wouldn't be a script issue if it only affects certain shader levels.

it needs colorshift. set doColorShift to true and set colorColorShift to "1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0"

[Conan]

it needs colorshift. set doColorShift to true and set colorColorShift to "1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0"

so if you have translucent textures you must colorshift? thats news to me. thanks
