Problem with animation

Hi, i have a problem with Animation Utilities 1.1.

When I extract an knight's animation I have this error:

Where is the problem:help: ?

Hmm, that's strange, the usual cas footer for standard anims looks
like:

Code:

---

104 1  1  CaozSceneCustomAttribNode  1  0  1  0  0  +0.00000 +0.00000 +0.00000 +1.00000 +0.00000 +0.00000 +0.00000 0  0  -1 0  0  1  16 2  0  0  16 3  0  0  16 8  0  0  16 10 0  0  12 5  0

with the red integer 0 being in the 16th indexed item (0-based indexing).
Looks like it's seeing one of the 7 floats there. Go to the joints tab and
select the third joint, bone_Rlowerleg, and click the comment button.
If you could, copy and paste what you see there into a post.

Which unit and which animation did you merge? I can try and duplicate
what you did and see if I get the same error.

This is the comment of bone_Rlowerleg:

Code:

106 1  1  CaozSceneCustomAttribNode 1  1  0  1  0  0  +0.00000 +0.00000 +0.00000 +1.00000 +0.00000 +0.00000 +0.00000 0  0  -1 0  0  1  16 2  0  0  16 3  0  0  16 8  0  0  16 10 0  0  12 5  0  12 12 0

The ms3d model is byzantine_lancers_lod1 and the animation is HR_lance_Attack_stab_centre_fail.

Ok, I see what the problem is. The 106 was the tipoff. This is a slight
variant of the .cas file format I hadn't seen before. The node name is

"CaozSceneCustomAttribNode 1"

that is, the 1 is part of the name but with a space in there. I actually see
that 1 in the string you posted and it's shifting everything right by 1 index
value. I'll try and make a work-around for this and post it.

Edit: Well, literally a two-liner. Download a modified animationlibrary.py
from here:

http://rapidshare.com/files/10746497...ibrary.py.html

The read cas part of animmerge now has a line:

AttribString = AttribString.replace( ' ', '%' )

to make the node name not have spaces in the comment. The write cas
part of animextract now has a line:

AttribString = AttribString.replace( '%', ' ' )

to reverse the process. (Can't see it in html but the ' ' actually has a space
between the single quotes.)

Works perfectly!


Thank you, you are a genius:yes: !
