Cola doesn't get Animation from .ASE

[Evese]

Hey guys,
i've got a problem with creating complete flyff models with animations.

I create a monster with 3ds max and add some bones, after i create the animation, i want to safe it as an .ASE file. When i open Cola now and import the for example "mvr_xxxx.ASE", then i see no animation. But the timeline at the bottom of Cola is running (so there is an animation but the mesh isn't moving)

I know it's a problem with the correct export from 3ds max into a .ASE file.

I found that script:

(    --BOOKMARKING
    GetVertexWeightCount = skinOps.GetVertexWeightCount
    GetVertexWeight = skinOps.GetVertexWeight
    GetVertexWeightBoneID = skinOps.GetVertexWeightBoneID
    GetBoneName = skinOps.GetBoneName

    --FUNCTION
    fn saveSkin obj =
    (
        --SELECT THIS OBJECT
        objskin = obj.skin
        modPanel.setCurrentObject objskin
        
        --START
        createms = "" as stringstream
        
        --GET NUMBER OF VERTS
        numVerts = getNumVerts obj.mesh
        
        format "*SKIN_VERTEX_DATA    %  {\n" numVerts to:createms

        --LOOP THROUGH VERTS
        for v = 1 to numVerts do
        (
            --GET THE WEIGHTS
            weights = #()
            _bones = #()

            for b = 1 to GetVertexWeightCount objskin v do
            (
                append weights (weight = GetVertexWeight objskin v b)
                append _bones (_bone = (GetBoneName objskin (GetVertexWeightBoneID objskin v b) 1) )
            )
            
            --PRINT THE WEIGHTS
            numBones = _bones.count
            
            format "\t*VERTEX    % %    {\n" (v-1) numBones to:createms
            
            for n = 1 to numBones do
            (
                format "\t\t*BONE    \t\"%\"    \t%\n" _bones[n] weights[n] to:createms
            )

            format "\t}\n" to:createms
        )
        
        format "}\n" numVerts to:createms
        
        --SAVE
        skinFile = createFile ("c:\\" + obj.name + ".txt")
        format "%" (createms as string) to:skinFile
        close skinFile
    )
    
    for obj in selection do
    (
        if isProperty obj #skin do saveSkin obj )

It should work with it but i just don't know how it works? (Well, i know how to run it in 3ds max but i get an error):




Do i need to add something? The creator of the script said that i need to add the format and the object name, but WHERE?

Enjoy. You'll need to add another format " " yourself and the object name. You'll see it when you look through the files.

Hope i get some help :-)

Still looking like the bones don't move the mesh...

Timeline still gets the Animation

[blacksystem]

having the same issue here, except for me the model view is grey/black and not white.. but still not moving. timeline gets going tho.

If I try to save the animation with auto-save it gives me the .ani file correctly, but then it deforms my character/model twisting all the bones.

did you solved your problem? how?

or anyone can provide help?
