GR2 Editor/Viewer/Extractor/Importer - Page 130

Just did a test to see how my code was coming along. Test worked beautifully. What I did was add subsets to the headgear mesh on the montezuma. I added the subsets from the sub's periscope (5 subsets added). You can see the scale of the montezuma compared to SH5's items:

This test proved that I can read/write 16bit floats and read/write 16bit indices and that I can add data/remove data from a GR2 file whose alignment value is not 0x4 (this one is 0x20 for each section!). Still more work to do

well this montezuma GR2 file is a real pain in the neck. It's a good pain though as it shows the weaknesses and problems with my app. I'm still working through all the problems it has exposed. Lots of new 'rules' are defined by this GR2 file in regards to alignment. Some items are always aligned and some are not

Still chugging along...

Testing the last version of your application with 20mm_C30.GR2, on loading the GR2 I get the usual message that "This GR2 file is missing the following essential embedded strings", but no string is listed below. Is that normal?

Yes, it's the blank embedded string. I should update the app so that it encloses each one in 's.

Go into Sentinel (press F1) and type:

dumpsectiondata all

If any of the section's Alignment value doesn't equal 0x4 the app WILL corrupt the file if you try to save it.

Okay

I have been looking into gun animations during the last 30 minutes. I wonder if this problem (see also following posts for further information) is related with animations/trackgroups

Could you post a link for the newest version?
The front page's link is not usable.

Still working on it. A GR2 file I tried to load (non-SH5 one) exposed many problems with my app that I'm having to fix

V13dweller · 03-15-13, 12:16 PM

What about a link to the previous version?
I can't seem to find any links, and I don't have the patience to scan though all 130 pages...

V13dweller · 03-18-13, 06:27 AM

I managed to find an old version on my mac, so Don't worry.

having trouble with cloning bones in 271. When I attempt to clone a bone it throws an error, after which a secondarry attempts screams with reference of "0" errors.

When I try to make a new bone: nothing happens (no new bone

I will post a screenshot later today.

Here we go.

So, this is what's happening when I'm trying to clone a bone in the model:

I'll check it out this weekend

To guys that have been using the tool for awhile: Is there a way to export the gr2 to a different format yet? I thought there was but couldn't find it.

Thanks

3D meshes can be exported in obj format, and textures can be saved in a bunch of formats, if this is what you meant
