Great work! Looks very nice.

@Phantom: Here are the files I tried to export. I attached the Blender file, the non functional gb file and the textures. As already metioned I tried to export all type of meshes and armatures but nothing works for me. Only import works fine.
Hope you can help me.

Problems

1. Duplicate vertices
2. Mesh objects don't have assigned materials with textures.
3. Armature bone names don't follow the naming convension bone000, bone001, bone002, etc.

After you fix those three problems it will export.

Hey phantom, I made a mesh to test the bone exporter; I can normally export my mesh "Cube", but I can't use "Export all" (Complete to-do) or export the armature (to place in data>monster>Motion) Or do I just have to put the exported mesh into that folder under another name? (My bones are named 001, 002 etc)

Without files I can't be sure if you have done everything correctly, but it sounds like you have. When you're ready to export, under the "Armatures" category a combo box will populate with all armatures in the current scene with "Export" and "Export Animation" buttons on it's right, otherwise, "None available" will be displayed. Select the armature for export and press "Export" button. After you will then need to link the mesh to armature to animation in your *.dat files. I can't remember which and the format but if someone has this information I will add an automatic generator to the exporter. As for the export all, that feature will eventually combine everything into a single *.gb file for something like animated weapons but I'm not sure if it will work.

I need privileged access to two additional servers for testing purposes just in case either is unenviable when needed. I will do no harm to your server as all testing will be client side, ie. collision detection. PM me if you're interested in helping.

Thanks to Gorlian and his file I've found a bug in extracting animations from an armature when there are none. You can download the fix @

I didn't qualify it for a new version release. The next release will be minor and will include working functionality for rotation and scale, export all, and minor fixes like the one above.

I've been seeing a lot of issues with people not following the bone naming convension so I will look into making that obsolete by correctly sorting the bone heirarchy using the parent relationship instead. This may not happen until collision detection is completed just to punish those who are being too smart or lazy.

how u import the models? becouse i can import bones but no models...
then u get a 6 lines error or somting (i readed that in console)
do u have the same problems when u are importing armor models?

 

[gorlian]

I have, I tried to import bone's once, but didn't see anything, and the armour (as example) import doesn't work either, I used phantom*'s importer to import my armours

upon import and export i get this error "Python Script Error, Check Console"

You deserve a punch in your face.

 

[Matynator]

(i have python installed on my pc)
