Need Help Changing Skeletons

Darkicon · Post by **Darkicon** » Sat Oct 28, 2006 12:48 pm

I am modding Darth Sidious right now.

I opened the ODF file for Emperor and changed the Skeleton entry from "sidious" to "vader", and also changed the lightsaber entry from "imp_weap_sidioussaber" to "imp_weap_lightsaber2" (Made a copy for editing), but after I munge and go to play, the game crashes.

Here is the ODF file:

Code: Select all

[GameObjectClass]
ClassParent           = "com_jedi_default"
GeometryName            = "imp_inf_vader.msh"

I also edited the imp_weap_lightsaber2 ODF, and changed it to this:

Code: Select all

[WeaponClass]

ClassLabel      = "melee"
ClassParent     = "com_weap_inf_lightsaber"

[Properties]

GeometryName        = "imp_weap_inf_lightsabre"
ComboAnimationBank  = "human_sabre melee imp_hero_emperor"

NumDamageEdges = "2"

OffhandFirePointName       = "hp_fire hp_weapons"
LightSaberLength    = "1.0"
LightSaberWidth     = "0.08"
LightSaberTexture   = "darkredlightsaber"
LightSaberTrailColor = "225 0 0 128"

OffhandGeometryName        = "imp_weap_lightsaber"
OffhandFirePointName       = "hp_fire_lightsabre"
LightSaberLength    = "1.0"
LightSaberWidth     = "0.08"
LightSaberTexture 	= "darkredlightsaber"
LightSaberTrailColor = "255 0 0 128"

If anyone could find the problem, I would greatly appreciate it.

Another question, can you have more than 2 force powers?

GeometryName = "imp_inf_vader.msh" should be GeometryName = "imp_inf_darthsidious.msh" I think...

Incorrect. Or at least, I think so. The top part just explains what type of file it is going to look for.

Yes it's possible to have more than two force powers. I don't know how many but I think you can have five at least.

What exactly are you trying to do? Are you trying to make Vader have Sidious' animations? Or just give Sidious Vader's skeleton?

make sure he has Vaders anims

Mmmmm........... I thing that he try to change the skeleton.......

I was trying to make Sidious stand up straight like Vader. I am guessing that is the skeleton.

The reason it's craching is because you have different entries for the GeometryName calls.

Bothe of them need to reference Sisious' mesh, and the only thing you need to change are the SkeletonName and SkeletonLowRes calls, those need to be vader and vaderlz, respectively. Make sure that you have Vader's munged data copied to your side's munged folder, and you may want to adjust the SkeletonRootScale to keep Sidious from looking weird.

XXXNewbie666XXX · Post by **XXXNewbie666XXX** » Sun Oct 29, 2006 2:42 pm

But Vader has a custom skeleton or not????

t551 · Post by **t551** » Sun Oct 29, 2006 2:53 pm

Of course. Hence the

SkeletonName = vader

call. What did you think that meant?

XXXNewbie666XXX · Post by **XXXNewbie666XXX** » Sun Oct 29, 2006 3:06 pm

Well it because some hero doesn't have the SkeletonName in his ODF files.

But is strange only change the SkeletonName and it's all??

Hebes24 · Post by **Hebes24** » Sun Oct 29, 2006 3:12 pm

Yes, to change the Skeleton, you have to change the SkeletonName line. Some things are just that simple, other things, well....

XXXNewbie666XXX · Post by **XXXNewbie666XXX** » Sun Oct 29, 2006 3:21 pm

But what about the droids.For example change the vader skeleton to a Magnaguard or Magnaguard to Vader is possible?

In some times that i do this the game crashes

Hebes24 · Post by **Hebes24** » Sun Oct 29, 2006 3:40 pm

That's probably because Vader's msh file isn't in the sides\cis\msh folder.

Rekubot · Post by **Rekubot** » Sun Oct 29, 2006 3:40 pm

Yes, because of the animations. Generally if you swap a skeleton you have to swap the animations as well. I don't see why you'd want to swap skeletons around in the first place; it seems a bit pointless to me.
