Modification Help / Re: Blender 2.49b: Animation System completely borked?

You're animating the mesh, not the bones.

Is it possible to animate on a turret? Like make the muzzle do something besides move up and down with the player after firing? I have the bone animation working.

I don't see why you couldn't. You could easily have a separate fire animation and maybe a looping animation that plays while tracking player movement. (Spinning gears or whatever.)

So is this thread viable to ask small questions about most Blender issues with a quick reply?

That's the entire point of the thread.

Right now your UVs for the ramp texture are probably something like this:

Code: [Select]

0 0
1 0
1 1
0 1

Change them to something like this:

Code: [Select]

0 0
0 1
1 2
0 2

This makes the UVs twice as tall thus repeating the ramp texture twice reducing stretching. In case you don't know the UV coords are X Y with 0 0 being the top left corner. The order of the number pairs depends on your brick and the vertex order so if that doesn't work try one of these:

Code: [Select]

0 2
0 0
0 1
1 2

1 2
0 2
0 0
0 1

0 1
1 2
0 2
0 0

I found a sweet CC0 brick wall texture and spent half a day making it seamless + spec, ao, cavity, nor and rendered a few images. I might make a small scene with it. I don't know why I made a moldy version.

I loved playing this some years ago. Even though I kept failing a lot I don't remember it being that hard. I'll have to try it out again.

Hit N while your mouse is hovering over the 3d view, Scroll down to shading drop down menu, and check Backface Culling. See what faces are screwed up

Fixed + Then select those faces in face select mode (CTRL + Tab) and press W > Flip normals to fix them.

I'm getting partially wire frame for a model I'm making when I open it in blender 2.49. I've checked the legacy mesh thingy and some faces show properly, What's going on?

http://www.pasteall.org/blend/26523 for the file.

You most likely have ngons. Each face must consist of 3 or 4 vertices only in 2.49. 5, 6, or more verts per face are not possible so those faces are not read. A quick way to check if this is true is to select your whole mesh and press ctrl + t to triangulate it. Then save with legacy and open in 2.49. It should work.

Off Topic / Re: Demian @ Finnish Army (Mandatory Military Service)

« on: February 01, 2014, 03:42:27 AM »

I'm back again. (Well I was back yesterday but had other things to do.) I had a short chat with Bones about American military service last week and apparently they are stuck in service for months at a time. I'm glad it's not like that in here or I would have found a way to get out of service by any means necessary. These weekend holidays are the only reason I'm still trying to push trough the mountains of stuff military service keeps building in front of recruits. Even though we're in service for hundreds of days it really helps to know that home is often only five days away, 19 days at maximum.
