I repeat here too ...
Yes, export/import mesh with mesh animation works well ...
As example ...
I exported existing flag (with "animation") from stock SH3 flagS.dat... imported in 3D Studio Max 2009 all 25 objects...
Scaled flags (25 objects) in three directions using different values ... then exported 25 objects
from 3D Studio Max 2009 and then imported model and "animation" in dat-file with a flag. All OK.
...
It is inconvenient, that it is impossible to import "animation" to a file where there is no model...

I understand but I struggled with this to make it work (due to internal S3D code paths). So I chose to always require a model as it was just easiest to implement. The whole animation portion was a quite complex bit of code. It could be made easier in UI, but due to time constraints I had to accept this 'nuisance'...

It's not a big problem though. You can quickly set up a temp node, with an empty model and the materials, do the import and then just remove the temp chunks again for those situations where you need it, but you already figured that out.

I think I am at the right place. I have a 3 50 deck gun. How can I speed up the time it takes to load a new round? Once I have made the adjustment, do I convert it to a mod and how do I that?

Why is S3D not sticky? Single most important/powerful tool ever. Anyone new needs to see this on page one.

Donner · 09-07-09, 01:15 PM

Stickied...as it should be!

skwasjer · 09-07-09, 02:31 PM

Neal moved/grouped a bunch of stickies into a single thread. That said, most of the other threads get way more discussion that S3D

tater · 09-07-09, 04:12 PM

I missed the group sticky, and I'm an old hand.

The reality is that members are frequently answering FAQ type questions for noobs. Having them find the Swiss Army Knife (these days I suppose "Leatherman" might be better) of SH tools easily should be a priority in the mods forum.

Ihope you guys can help. I only got a taste of s3d before something very strange happened. So i have s3d gimp and the internet up and running. I'm browsing for textures and i accidentally get one of those "your comp is infected" things, except i can't get rid of it, can't X out alt+f4 won't work and this thing is trying to box me into saying ok. so i do a hard reset while gimp, s3d and the internet are up. i restart, everything is fine except, now, when i try to open s3d i automatically get a "s3d has encountered a serious error and must sut down" error message. i tried uninstalling/reinstalling many times, no go. i tried uninstalling, repairing and defragging the registry, then reinstalling...nope still get the error. i did a windows update then installing again, nope...same error message. anyone have any ideas?

skwasjer · 09-08-09, 08:40 AM

What OS do you have? If Vista/Win7, then open this path:

(Start > Run) %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local

and delete the folder named 'skwas'.

This will reset S3D to default settings. Probably the config file got corrupted during the reset.

I'm goin' down · 09-08-09, 11:40 PM

I am pretty good at the game. But I do not know a thing about making mods, etc. Where is the best place to start. Where is the best place to learn about S3D. I have no idea what the posters are talking about. Maybe I do not have enough experience with computer technology.
