That's what i don't get, parenting! Do I just press Ctrl P and it knows that I want to parent the Armature to Detail32 or does it think that I want to parent it to Shape?
He'res a little side note to what DarkStar is saying:

It DOES matter what order you select them in, select whatever you want to parent FIRST, hold shift, THEN select the object you want to parent to. Hit ctrl+P, and you're good.

Hope this helps clarify things.


select the armature, hold shift and select detail32. then hit ctrl p.
So does that mean the last thing selected is the thing that will be parented? :O

Hope this works!

Everything that you selected before will be parented to the last thing.

I made two animations on the same bone does that mess it up?

I never parented a Armature to Detail32.

Fail.

Not trying to be a richard, just kidding around.

I'm sure DarkStar is SO happy about that ._.


I dont know if I could stand replying to so many idiots (including myself) so diligently. I applaud you, DarkStar, for putting up with our crap so well.

How do I get the .dts exporter to show up in in blender or whatever?

No.

You gotta run the installer (it doesn't look like a regular installer) in the zip file, or put the script manually into your scripts folder in your blender folder. I"m pretty sure there's instructions in the zip folder.

Alright, I figured out what kept crashing my model. I had some meshes set to show textures (uv map) which were done incorrectly, and was causing major problems.

My model is ingame and perfect except for two things Im noticing.

There is no lighting on the model whatsoever. I did the cube trick to fix the shading (it was glowing before) But now instead of glowing, its extremely dark and the lighting does not change according to where the light is coming from.

I also keep getting stuck inside the collision box. Whenever I jump at the vehicle, sometimes I go straight through one wall and dont actually mount the vehicle. But I dont go straight through the whole thing, just one wall. I actually get stuck inside of the vehicle's collision box when I try to mount it. I can still mount it by jumping at a corner, but then when I try dismounting Im still trapped inside of it. This didnt happen before, and the only thing I have done differently with the collision box is set the render piepline to halo so I can see through the collision box while editing. What the heck?

Did you press a number? Because sometimes i accidentally press 3 or something and my model disapears, all you have to do to get it back is press 1.

I might be wrong because i don't know if you're talking about it disapearing ingame or in blender

Also thanks Dark and Takato for telling me about the last thing parented is what the object's gonna get parented to and stuff. I won't be begging for help for another 15 pages XD

I have played with the exporting thing for about an hour, and I look at the blender window, the one that looks like the blockland console? (I don't know if it is a console or if that's what it is called, so I just called it that.) I look at it, and like before all it says is
Code: [Select]
Complied with Python 2 . 6 . 2 .
Checking for installed python... Got it!
I am so confused, and right now, my computer hates me, not just in blender.

I think that's normal, hardly anything shows up in the console when i use blender.
