GameSpace DarkIndustries DTS Exporter modes problem
by Jason Toubia · in Artist Corner · 05/13/2004 (7:36 pm) · 7 replies
I am trying to use GameSpace and the DarkIndustries DTS exporter to create my vehicle. I have the body on a layer, have a bounds layer, collision: box layer and the nodes layer that consist of Eye, Cam, Mass, Mount0, hub0, hub1, hub2, hub3. When I export though, only one wheel shows up. I looked at the DTS export log and noticed that it seems to pick only one node. Here is the output of the nodes section on the log file:
Beginning nodes & bone creation...
Adding hub0 as a named node.
Adding hub0 as a named node.
Adding hub0 as a named node.

Adding hub0 as a named node.
Adding hub0 as a named node.
Adding hub0 as a named node.
Adding hub0 as a named node.
Adding hub0 as a named node.
Adding as a named node.
End nodes & bone
What am I doing wrong?? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You should have only one layer called "nodes" and all of your nodes should be on this layer. You file appears to have several (3-4) layers named "nodes".
Also some of your nodes (the ones dropped in the log file) are not on a node layer and are thus ignored by the exporter.
Try correcting these things and exporting it again. If you still have problems send me the SCN file and I will take a look at it.
We will probably have a new version of the exporter with more features in the next few weeks if the error is partly because of a bug we'll fix it.

Looks like there are a few problems in the file. but its possible there is also a bug in the node export as well in addition to the file problems.You should have only one layer called "nodes" and all of your nodes should be on this layer. You file appears to have several (3-4) layers named "nodes".

I probably should have mentioned that. I didn't start out with the three node layers, or any extra layers for that matter. They just got added over hours of trying different ways of adding nodes to figure out what I was doing wrong. I usually like to try absolutly everything before I resort to wasting your time :-). I tried again with the nodes layer and it is doing it again. I sent the scene I am working on (I redid it). I don't know if you will be able to open it without the objects or textures. If you can't Ill send em to you if you need it.

...Caligari has released a Service Pack1 for GameSpace1.5, there were some bugs in the Scene Editor, it might help, I'm not sure if you're running that update. I experienced some hard crashes when doing some things inside the Scene Editor, myself.

looks like there is a bug or two in the node export for this release version. Our main programmer is out of town till Saturday, but I probably have a beta version that exports nodes properly that I could send you so you could export you object properly.
Also, in about 2 weeks the next version will be out with many added feature.
Let me know...
