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:

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?
