XIDX Bug

[Sundjata Keita]

Not sure what I did wrong the first time but I just repeated it all again and it works, must have been a syntax error or something first two times. Thanks for the help Bwian

Animations do indeed work for BI now. Though as I understand you cannot use any of the new skeletons that come with BI as of yet. (or at least XIDX won't find them in the data/animations/bi/data/animtions folder)

Sundjata> so the unpacker does not unpack the BI animation files? I'm not entirely clear but you managed to insert new animations and skeletons in there but unable to extract the skeletons and animations from BI?

[Vercingetorix]

I've been able to extract the BI demo animations/skeletons and then repack them and that worked. Since I don't have BI I haven't done anymore testing.

As Bwian mentioned, the game is case-sensitive to the filenames inside skeletons.idx/data.idx. Xidx is case-insensitive (because windows is) and so using any variation of the case in a filename will not prevent xidx from paking it, but when the game retrieves a file from data.idx it is expecting the correct case.

Verc, I love that sig

Duke John said in a different thread that the filepath does not find the animations in data/animations/bi etc... but animations DO work in BI and you CAN extract all the skeletons, just not put them in the data/animations/BI folder.

[wlesmana]

I'm a bit confused, so you're not supposed to put them in the BI folder and instead in the data/animations folder? Will the BI engine acknowledge that address?

Or is it Rome - Total War/bi/data/animations?

[Sundjata Keita]

If you go into totalwar/bi/data/animations/ you will see a folder called data and a folder called bi. Duke John said the at present XIDX will find anything in the data folder but NOT in the bi folder.
