Struct.error in Export log
by William Shellman · in Artist Corner · 08/28/2007 (6:42 pm) · 8 replies
I am sorry that I haven't posted anything lately, but I've been busy as you may have guessed. Anyway,
I have been studying the various Blender documentation, viewing the videos tutorials, and practicing the
instructions to the best of my abilities. I have managed to complete a model (fully textured) and set up my
Empty's and such. I still don't have the full grasp of the materials and textures aspects, but I did manage to texture an entire model (The Model is a Pontiac Firebird). I have the UV's unwrapped and the names of the textures correct. I did everything the HTML Documentation said to do. I finished up the details for exporting and double-checked my settings. I did check each textures image within the exporter panel.
I thought I had everything right and proceeded to send the model to the game, But I received this message in the Python log :
Compiled with Python version 2.5.
Checking for installed Python... got it!

What did I do wrong? Anyone! Thanks for any responses.

Awesome! Thank you for your super-quick response. I was indeed playing around with those settings before exporting out.

I do have 36 different textures on the model, but none of them have a reflectance map. I want the metallic parts of the model to have a slight reflection in their textures. Especially the Rims of the vehicle.
And I want the Windows to be Transparent, including the Headlights, Taillights, ect...
I also wish to have the mirrors texture to be extremely reflective. I am sorry that I have not quite learned how to E-mail the model itself to anyone, but I am working on that. In the mean time, I can send the latest .log file from the Python script. I have changed the "Bold Line" which you advised, but I have yet to attempt an export with it. I am still working on re-doing the model textures. I will have it done by the end of the day. The one I tried to export earlier is the .log I am sending you. It is basically the same .log I sent you before, with the exception that the reflectance, (and most of the other "Map to" settings), are off. I don't know what I am doing wrong, so I will try to texture a new model of it using the changes in the Python Dts_Shape.py script. I'll update you on the progress. Thanks for any help you have for the export .log file.

error: long too large to convert to int
Update! When I exported this one, it did not invoke the changes I made to the texture mapping files.
I changed the "Chrome" textures reflectance and mirror settings (as well as all the other textures) to off, but when I exported, it remained. I believe this is why the export failed again after removing the map settings. For some reason, it won't let me remove the settings. This is why I re-started the new model.

Joseph! I have taken off all the reflectance maps for the model, but I still get the error message. I re-loaded the model and started from scratch and I still got the error, even without the reflectance maps on.I do have 36 different textures on the model, but none of them have a reflectance map. I want the metallic parts of the model to have a slight reflection in their textures. Especially the Rims of the vehicle.
And I want the Windows to be Transparent, including the Headlights, Taillights, ect...

Acknowledged! I will try the instructions you have given me. I am puzzled by the amount of poly's that the mesh you mentioned has. I didn't realize it was so detailed. I do intend to use the model personally, but I don't need it desperately. It really is just a practice model. I still have quite a way to go before making my own original vehicles. I will continue to work with it though. I nearly have it complete. Thanks for all your help.
