LOD 1 not animating FPView

by Joseph Jonathan · in Artist Corner · 04/09/2008 (6:32 pm) · 20 replies

Ok, I followed this resouce: http://www.garagegames.com/index.php?sec=mg&mod=resource&page=view&qid=9846
with TGE 1.4

I created a weapon model with the tree as

Shape > Detail 32 and Detail 33

Detail 33 > mountpoint and muzzlepoint bones 3rd person (MountBones)

Detail 32 > animated first person bones (ABones)

MountBones > Third person model

ABones > First Person Model

I have the different "details" in too diffent layers.

I export and the different models show up where they are supposed to but the first person animations wont animate.

Is something I am doing wrong?

Ill try it.

Will the new exporter, 0.96, work in TGE 1.4? Thats the milestone I own.

How do I fix that error then?

Not attach my Gun Mesh to the animating bones?

No I use Name Groups and add the whole mesh as a child to the Whole animating armature.


I got animations now working but the ones I need for the gun still don't work. I at least now get a "adding sequences" kind of message in the top bar when exporting.

OK, I uploaded it into ShowTool Pro. (Still have 3 days of trial left)

When I set the Detail to 1 I can see that the bones animate but the mesh does not.

Ok I made my first Person model be GunModel.FP and my third person model GunModel.TP

Now I get this error again: Warning: Invalid skinned mesh in rigid object 'GunModel'!

Here is a screen shot of my blender outline (Note that I have changed the names)
