What's wrong about this Model Edit?

[chilla_killa]

Hey Modellers,

I tried to make a BladeMaster with a Dwarven head, so I used Vertex Modify and Geoset Merger.

In Magos it looks fine, but when I try to test it ingame, it crashes.

Anyone knows how to fix it?

 

[NhazUl]

You didn't need geoset animations since it's a hero model and has no decay animations. I just removed them.

But what crashed the model was this:

Remember. Never, EVER leave a geoset animation with no geoset or 2 or more geoset animations with the same geoset.

 

[chilla_killa]

Errrm thanks, but it still crashes the game.

 

[Deolrin]

You removed all geoset animations? And it still crashes the game?

 

[General Frank]

Go try this one.
I optimised it with MDLVis and removed the geoset animations.

 

[chilla_killa]

Thanks General Frank, it works.
May I ask what you exactly did?

 

[Deolrin]

He

optimised it with MDLVis and removed the geoset animations.

Just as he said.

 

[General Frank]

Thanks General Frank, it works.
May I ask what you exactly did?

I remove the geoset animations with Magos' ME and saved it. Then I opened the model with MDLVis and performed an optimisation with MDL compression. That is all.

 

[chilla_killa]

Okay, thanks again

 

[General Frank]

Okay, thanks again

My pleasure to help, chilla_killa.

 

[GhostThruster]

Thanks General Frank. That model was for me.

 

[General Frank]

Thanks General Frank. That model was for me.

My pleasure to help you and chilla.

You know you can avoid using geoset animations for decay animations and such by just using the scaling function of bones, right? It really helps if something about the model just DOESN'T accept any geoset anims.

 

[General Frank]

But using an geoset animation is far more clean and more standard than using a scaly shrinking animation.

 

[Direfury]

True, but some people've run upto issues that make geoset anims unuseable.

and it's not really scaling, if you don't set it to Linear, Bezier or Hermite and set the times in which the size changes, you can make things disappear instantly.

It's an alternative, if nothing else.

Yeah, but that is the thing: It is far more difficult to teach people.

 

[Direfury]

Don't teach, leave hints. Is better if people come along their own methods, chances are that they're close to the more effective ways of doing it, and will be ready to do it that way once shown how.

But yeah, we're a little off-topic here.

 

[Deolrin]

Models without geoset animations for their Decay animation tend to fuck up. For example, attach to other units. So Geoest Animations are the best way.
