Please any help

Why dont bones that are rotated in "LINEAR" format rotate correctly when uploaded to a map?

 

[TDR]

........huh?

 

[BlinkBoy]

what tool are you using?

I think your error may be related to quaternions, if your rotations have angles that go farther than 90º, then you may get bad rotations, to solve this, add rotation keys between those that extend farther than 90º.

Sounds like gmax or 3ds max. WC3 can't use floatkeys in animations. You have to run this script on the bones of your model. That script translates the floatkeys in a style wc3 can understand und display.

All that script does is set every single object's controllers to TCB; it won't even solve the problem but it can even bring him more troubles, due to the TCB parameters which make things very unlinear.

 

[Thyrael]

Hm, but as far as I know do you need TCB to animate models for WC3. I never had problems using this script.

Don't want to sound like a jerk, but your knowledge is very limited.

TCB is just a type of controller in 3dsmax for Hermite curves, if you want to produce an smooth feeling to your animations you should use TCB, but this does not have anything to do with his trouble; he said he's using linear controller, obviously he has troubles with quaternions, and I imagine he's either using dex or milkshape.

But nevertheless I'm trying to help, your godness...

 

[TDR]

your godness...

Even though you wanted to sound sarcastic, he actually happens to be a god when it comes to this.

 

[Thyrael]

Yes, but even a god is nothing without beleavers. For sure there are thousands of modelers out there who are better than me. I learned the use of 3ds max and the other needed programs by myself. And if I notice a question I might can answer or at least give a hint, I'll do.

 

[anarchianbedlam]

ummm, well i dont really care if i get linear to work i just want some way to animate my model, i tried warshape and thats what im having trouble with, its linear rotations of bones isnt working. If anyone has a good animation program or knows hermite or bezier and can explain than dear god please PLEASE HELP!!! i would really appreciate it and would love the person who would offer such valuable info.

 

[BlinkBoy]

perhaps we should talk of your trouble, because there isn't other animation tool, except for warforger 0.8, that you could use to animate.

There isn't a clear link to it, so I'm uploading it for you.

 

[anarchianbedlam]

Oh My God Thank You So Much Blink Boy, Im Gonna See If It Works Right Now!!

 

[anarchianbedlam]

*sigh* well i tried warforger out and im having the same problem, would any of you guys happen to know of a program that rotates in hermite or bezier because linear rotations just arent working for me for some reason. again any and all help or comments would be greatly apprecciated

 

[BlinkBoy]

if it does not work with linear, then it obviusly won't work with hermite or Bezier either.

Perhaps you should post your model's mdl.

 

[anarchianbedlam]

I dunno, i dont want it public until its finished and polished... i wanna make a good impression. If I gave it to you could you help?

 

[BlinkBoy]

e-mail it to [email protected] I'll look at it and tell you the specific problem, just send me the .mdl nothing else.
