Everything for the most part works fine, but a few mechs give me trouble.

When I import the Catapult, I get this error. Any ideas?

bpy.context.space_data.recent_folders_active = 0
bpy.ops.object.editmode_toggle()
Traceback (most recent call last):

Here's what the result I get:

Any luck with this?

So I did this all on my work computer and everything works with no issue. Repeat everything on my home PC and I get this error

I've gone back and retraced all my steps like 40 times, what am I doing wrong?

I tried the "foreach ($file in (get-childitem -Recurse *.cga,*.cgf,*.skin,*.chr)) { cgf-converter.exe $file -objectdir "d:\depot\mwo" }"

but does nothing on powershell command, not even an error or anything,it just doesn't run, and the .exe is located in the same folder, too.

Catapult is broken, if you have discord, dm me (B4CKF1SH#1964) I can manually import it for you

[NexusElite]

Does anyone else have a problem when importing the CDF of Atlas in blender, it doesn't seem to work, compare to the other ones.

[Oop_Ack]

Wish Heffay would come back to MWO and address the plugin for Blender.
Anybody know how to reach out to him privately?

[Heffay]

I'm here. I'm back and working on this.

The Catapult and Atlas are known issues, and due to a bug in Blender. I'm now working on a workaround for this.

Blender bug report submitted.

https://developer.blender.org/T64051

Since they are focused on the 2.80 release, they will probably not fix this in any reasonable time frame. I'll see if I can figure out a patch though.

Everything is fantastic! Working hard and getting things done. But... I have a break so I'm working on getting the converter cleaned up and working for all sorts of stuff. There are some issues with Blender (see the bug report from above), but I'm now working on a Blender fix for it. Soooo many improvements in the pipeline I haven't been able to deal with lately, but now I'm going to make it SHINE!

YES Heffay is back !

I'm back!

I've done some testing with beta builds of Blender 2.80, and the armatures import properly there. This may end up being a case where you have to use that version to do the Catapult, Atlas and Timberwolf. I'm testing my add-ons to ensure they work with 2.80 when it's released.

[CGB Kazdell]

Sup guys! Can you please explain how to unite and fill model? If printing legs\arms\torso are not really attach to each other... Trying to fix this by solidfy joints, but mech by itself is empty incide and filled by supports after printing lol, also weapons are filled sometimes. BTW how to fix holes on screenshot?

Please don't post on the blender developer forum for this. I'm in the process of updating Cryengine Converter to support 2.80, so the existing one won't work on that version of blender. But the blender developer forum is for blender specific issues, and they tend to get a bit ornery when having to look at things that are outside of their area.

[Oop_Ack]

Is there an update of the mech importer for 2.8 or i miss something?

[Bryan Napier]

Well, since people are having issues with the timberwolf, I uploaded a .blend file of the timberwolf I got with Heffay's script. I just wish someone who has a working Catapult and Atlas would do us the same favor.

[MATRAKA14]

Is there an archive or should we create one with all the mech files of the game? Maybe with mirrors and links on several web pages.

MWO will last for some years more, but what if when the game closes, and we lose access to the files?

Piranha has achieved the biggest and more consistent collection of mechs ever, and in the worst case scenario if we don't get more Mechwarrior games in many years, the archive could help to create fan creations to keep the community and the franchise alive.

[Oop_Ack]

YES !!! The Catapult is back...........
Heffay has updated and released his importer for 2.8

First one to be extracted was the Catapult.
Worked Beautifully

Thank you Heffay !!

Glad it's working out! Converting the tool to support Blender 2.80 took a LOT more work than I expected. And there is still a lot to do. I want to handle armless mechs like the Catapult better, and different mechs have different arm lengths, which can really screw with the hand controllers.

Oh, and better material support, with built in camo pattern and color selections!

[Charlic Wolf]

So I tried following along with the tutorial. I used to use Blender back in the day, but now it looks all foreign to me, especially with the 2.8 update. I am using the importer i found on HeffayPresents.com/GitHub, along with the converter, but I am running into some problems. When I loaded up the Viper, there was some huge, strange looking elongated semi circle sticking out from its nose with a texture on it. Then I tried loading up the adder exactly like you did in your tutorial. Unfortunately, all the weapons possible were present, on the first layer, and were sticking out 90 degrees from the arm at a right angle. Is there something I am doing wrong, or is it a versioning issue? Not to mention I cant even find the layers tab on this version of Blender.
