Finally got that after some trial and error, but the import.txt python script failed when moving it into blender.

What were the errors when you imported it into Blender?

I am having a issue with Netfabb Basic creating flipped faces and random geomitry that is all but destorying a few models. I was told that the issue I am having could be a bad install or it failed to uninstall everything from a prior installation. Any truth to this, or some suggestions?

I'm not familiar with Netfabb at all, so can't provide any help. Hopefully someone knows though.

I have a request Heffay. How far back do your game files go?

I found the Victor-A in the files...and I'm curious how long it's been in there. They released mid July 2013, so if you have one from around then, would you mind searching for:

vtr_left_torso_uac5

Or any other LT ballistic. It would be greatly appreciated.

I understand why they might not have included it...but it's not really applicable in the current game environment. Maybe replace the MLs with a PPC, back in those days:

I might. My archive goes a far way back. It's on an external drive that's not plugged in right now, though, so it'll have to wait before I get a chance to check.

Heffay, on 13 February 2015 - 08:27 AM, said:

I have them from early 2013 or so. I try to archive off the files every now and then, in case I need stuff from previous versions.

I may need to be reminded a couple of times to look for this, but will try to get to it soon.

With the release of the Godly pods for the God tier robots...I'm curious about this again.
Those were available from the start of the Invasion, but this I'm not sure about.

Just a quick update on the Urbanmech...

2.74 did nothing unfortunately...same crash...

As Heffay suggested 2.72 worked fine!

Is this how you go about drawing your stuff or are you dabbling in 3D modeling?

Yes and yes!

Though I use Blender just for the script execution...my reference scenes are mostly done in Cinema4d...
Can't say I'm a real good modeler yet, but I did some miles in that field so far...starts to pay off...

I created a bug report for Blender. It's cutting and pasting the object import that is causing it to crash. I can get it to crash after just one or two object imports, made a video of it working, yadda yadda yadda. But they labeled the bug as incomplete.

If anyone wants to chime in on this and say they are having the exact same problem, I'd appreciate it. The triage guy said he couldn't reproduce it, but he won't do a full import either. So annoying.

In other somewhat related news:





What's this? I'm working on a C# program to read the files directly with the correct materials applied, that will also work with the 3.6 Cryengine files as well (aka Star Citizen)?? Why yes, yes I am!

Does anybody knows where the scaling files are in the models and how to correctly set the mechs height scales?
Thank you.

Models are in meters and already scaled to each other.

I can't seem to get the importer script to work in PS at all. when I run it it just blows up with

"You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression" errors for probably every line of code in the script. I have tried running it in various folders from the main folder with all of the exported.paks down to the individual mechs directory ect. and can't seem to get it to run properly with a proper export script for blender.

The most common cause of this is Noesis wasn't able to extract any of the files to .obj. Can you capture a screenshot and post it?

Also make sure you're running powershell version 3 or newer.

Was debating asking this question but figured what the hell: Is the method for mechs apply for hauling in the leopard dropship, because I'm rather dumbfounded at this point.

Also, all I find are ANM files

Essentially yes; you use Noesis and the cryengine plug-in to convert the .cgf files to objs, and them import into Blender.

I did make a handy Assets Importer powershell script to do this as well, but... it really needs updating.

Don't forget to rename all the .cga files to .cgf first, so Noesis can see them.

Ah good, thanks. I must have done something wrong though as all I see are ANM files and I can't find the actual leopard dropshop files.

They were under... Umm... objects/... I need to get to my home computer to answer this.

Hi all,
hi Heffay.

I have been busy working on several of the model files to bring them to a 3D printable state for about half a year now.
Thanks to Heffays youtube tutorials and the discussions in this thread I was quite successful in creating some printable models like the Timberwolf, the Adder and the Awesome.

Now that the Zeus has been released and being one of my all time favourite designs, I started working on these files.

But now there is a problem when I try to import the model infos into Blender. Few seconds after pasting the code to the python console, Blender just shuts down without any error messages. Blender is the latest release v 2.74.

Does anyone else is familiar with this problem and has some kind of solution? :>

Yup. There's a bug with 2.73 and 2.74. Download the 2.72 client again and it'll work.

I've submitted a bug report to Blender, but they don't think it's an issue yet.

[hansdampf2k]

Yay! That did it! Now running with client 2.72b.
Had to upgrade the mech-importer to the latest version though.

Now let's tweak some mech parts!!

Thanks a lot!
