Hi!

Can you please submit your .actor3d File too? Have your walk animations the correct name in your .X File?

And can you submit your .X File as ASCII rather than binary Format? It's easier to look through it then.


Sincerly,

Spellbreaker

So, when I include your afshar.X in the demo project, the debugger says that animations walk, idle and talk are missing in the definition file.

I guess you did not name them correctly.

Hey again.

I can only tell you the way we did. We had a single .X file, including walk, idle and talk animations. You have to define in your software ( the software you made the Animations with ) the name of the Animations. They have to be called "walk" "talk" and "idle" . Otherwise, you have to set actor.WalkAnimName in your WME script to the correct animation sequence.

And the .X file you uploaded last, are still in binary format, so I cannot look into them.

Sincerly,

Spellbreaker

Ron_Emad2: Let me recap how it works. The .X file contains one or more named animation sets. WME expects the standard animations to be named in a certain way ("walk", "idle" etc.). If your animations are not named that way, you need to tell WME what animations to use instead.

Code: WME Script

1. actor.WalkAnimName = "myWalkAnim";
2.  

I don't have any tools on this computer, but looking at your .X file the animation seems to be named "move".

So you have two options:

1) Tell your artist to export the walking animation with the name "walk".

or

2) In your actor script add line:

Code: WME Script

1. this.WalkAnimName = "move";
2.  

EDIT: I'm slow.

On the other side, your replies are always looking beatiful. One can see the time and love you invested

Hello Dear Mnemonic and Spellbreaker
thanks about your answer
but:
dear Mnemonic
i test

2) In your actor script add line:

Code

this.WalkAnimName = "move";

but it dont work;
about name of animation
i speake with artist
but can you tell me where is this name?
my mean is where he must put this name in model and animation

we use a 1 XFile for 4animation ( idle;walk;take;talk)
i want know where we must put name in x file for this animation?

Thanks

[Spellbreaker]

That depends on the software you are using. You can give your animation-cycles a name.

[Ron_Emad2]

Hello again
i know he use max for modeling amd build charechter
and for export to .X FILE use panda??
i think the name very similar to panda

[Spellbreaker]

Panda Exporter, yes.

He should follow this Guide exactly, there he can see how to export anything correctly, including names.


Greets,
