I managed to manually realign the missing geometry very accurately (it was only missing the feet that the toes connected to, but I also realigned the legs as well).

Here's a download link if anybody wants the model without having to mess with it (does not include textures)

Has anyone else noticed that there are some parts that use UV's for both the main texture and the variant? For example the center torso for the Direwolf has UV's mapped to the variant texture, but when going through the conversion proccess it loses the distinction between the two textures or something and just uses the body texture for all uv's. example image included using the MWO_CAMO material with the mountain rgb map where the faces going around the base of the cockpit are on the wrong texture.

I made a new music video. It is both more "adult" and simultaneously more childish at the exact same time.

You know what this thread needs?

Moar Urbanmech. (why ain't this in my Digital Art contest??? Well, OK; it wouldn't really qualify...but would be great for morale!)

I wonder if I could animate a dancing Urbie for the contest... I bet I could! When is the due date?

Thanks for this thread. I'm trying to extract some of these models but am having a difficult time converting the files from .cgf to .obj files. I've tried using the cgf-converter.exe but cannot seem to get the syntax right to save my life. Can someone copy the correct syntax here for me to try?

What is the error you are getting, and how are you entering the command when it gives the error?

hey!

sorry for asking - but is there already a new importer script out that mitigates the problems with the bushwacker? (and possible other future mechs)

Not yet. Sorry. Just haven't had a chance yet to look at this.

Evening all,

It's been awhile since I played with these 3D files (in the order of several years I think). I'm trying my hand again with some of the newer mechs but when trying to run the mech-importer script it keeps saying it can't find the .cdf file. I've tried it on several mechs now and whilst I can find the file, the script keeps failing. I've noticed other folk have had the same problem, so I'm wondering if I'm using an old version of the script or if I've missed something more obvious.

Also, has anyone managed to get the Bushwacker armature to work? I downloaded king0pa1n's re-aligned file but can't seem to get the armature to do its thing.

Any help would be grand. Cheers

If you have the mech-importer script in the path, you should just be able to run it from the directory that contains the .cdf file, with no arguments.

[Jacob Soloman]

Thanks for getting back to me. The .ps1 file is where it should be. I've tried running the script in both variants of Powershell with no luck. I thought I'd try and re-download your script again but I can't seem to find an original. I don't suppose you can PM me a link or something? Perhaps with a fresh script I might be able to get this working again.

Cheers

What error does the powershell script give you when you run it?

[Bugbot]

I'm having difficulties with the mech importer. For some reason, I keep getting errors when I run it in Powershell, and when I copy the import text to blender, it gives me more errors. Could somebody help me figure out what I'm doing wrong?

These are the errors I'm getting in powershell.

And these are the errors I'm getting in blender. It seems to stem from name 't' not being defined, as well as key "" not found, but I have no idea how to fix this.

I have a question regarding Decals: Is it possible to convert the Decals into a JPEG or vector data? I would like to plot some of them and put them on my car.

[Jacob Soloman]

Heffay,

Whilst running PS ISE in admin mode, I get the following:

PS C:\Windows\system32> E:\00_Private\Main\Hobby\BT\MWO\objects\battlemaster\mech-importer.ps1
Directory set to system32
Unable to find .cdf file.
Usage: mech-importer <mech .cdf file>
If .cdf file isn't specified, Mech Importer checks the current directory
Please update the script before running. The following variables need to be properly defined:
$basedir: Where you extracted the object.pak files (and skins)
$imageformat: What image format you are using (default .dds)

Please use Noesis with the cryengine plug-in to convert all the .cgf files to .obj with -flipUV first
See https://www.youtube....GKeU_LBODtkh29b for tutorials.

Press Enter to continue...:

I'm getting a feeling that I'm missing a step somewhere but I can't identify it.

Cheers for your help.
