XSI ZETools

[AceMastermind]

Yep the problem was user error this time, forgot cloth collision had to start with c_ instead of p_ , all working well now.
I haven't tried the update yet but thanks for adding the checks and standardizing primitive naming.

[Anakin]

It still does not work to export the unit when it's under a model, because the name c_l_thigh,... is invalid and the name Modelname.c_l_thigh does not start with c_
Maybe you can add to the ZETools the possibility to have the unit under a model.

But when i put the dummyroot under sceneroot i can export. I hope it will work ingame, too.

Thank you both


==EDIT==

The cloth is not ingame...

when exporting ZE says in the bottom line "argument 0 is invalid". I ignored it, but maybe it is something important.

Or i'm simply too stupid to add cloth correctly...
Maybe someone of you can check my msh (ingame/in hex) whether the kama is exported correctly or not: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vfh2cy3d5o39i ... r.rar?dl=0

I replaced your cylinder collision with spheres and it exports without the error, didn't check to see if it works in the game though.
I also want to add that in the past I never had problems with spherical cloth collision and never could get cylinders working right.

[Anakin]

Yes you are right with sphere there is no more error. But the kama is still not ingame. Can i may ask you to try it on yourself and tell me whether it works or not? That way i can be sure that it is my fault and not an export problem.

"Hide Roots" in import settings does not hide root nulls when ticked, "Hide Effectors" does work.

"Batch Export" doesn't work - nothing is logged

Which version of python and pywin do you have installed?

[AceMastermind]

Python 2.6.2.2 with matching pywin32 extensions, same as always. I recall all of them working some time ago until a newer version of this plugin rolled out. Its not a big deal and I can live without them, just thought I would log it here anyway.

[ANDEWEGET]

Hmm, I can't seem to delete my previous post like usual to not have to double-post, maybe because I recently edited it? Can a mod delete it or something?

Update 1.3.9

Hidden/Spoiler:

Fixed coloring nulls on import.
Fixed hidden nulls not being hidden on import.

I also added an alternate call for the error-to-clipboard functionality, not sure if that fixes it for you though.
Batch export worked for me, did you maybe have "Use root model name for .msh filename" unchecked?

[AceMastermind]

Hidden/Spoiler:

In the last image only the cone was exported.
Hide Roots still isn't working.

Also i'd like to request an option to suppress the OK dialogs after a successful import/export, if not too much trouble.

[ANDEWEGET]

That's because batch export will export all children of the currently selected object as a .msh file.
So

Code: Select all

root
----child1
----child2
----child3

Would export to child1-3.msh.

I'll look into the other stuff.

[AceMastermind]

That's because batch export will export all children of the currently selected object as a .msh file.

Alright, so the cube, cylinder and cone must be under the same selected parent node to batch export as separate msh files, gotcha.

[ANDEWEGET]

Update 1.3.10

Hidden/Spoiler:

Added toggle to show/hide dialog on completion.
Fixed names used to index cloth collisions.
Fixed calculation of CMSH size for the third time.
Fixed export not aborting if a cloth collision primitive has no primitive data.

Roots get hidden fine for me. They just have to contain "root" in their name.

[AceMastermind]

Roots get hidden fine for me. They just have to contain "root" in their name.

Hide Roots is a no-go for me:

Hidden/Spoiler:

I don't know why but its not important. I can use a script button to hide roots after import.

[ANDEWEGET]

Found the problem, fix is in the last commit. I must have written that piece of code late at night or something.

[Anakin]

Do i understand your 1.3.10 changelog right, the collision does no longer need to be a primitive?? Or does this just mean it does not need the information, but still need to be a primitive??

[ANDEWEGET]

It means if previously no primitive data (either for cube, sphere or cylinder) was found the export just continued and the object just had no primitive data which means the export would fail later on. Now it just aborts the export with a message.
Collision for cloth needs the primitive data (size, radius and radius/height) so it must be a primitive.

[AceMastermind]

Found the problem, fix is in the last commit.

Yep that got it, thanks!

EDIT
Your success with this ZETools project has motivated me to try and learn Python.
The timing was perfect because Jeremie Passerin of cmiVFX has recently released some tutorial videos on Vimeo that includes Python in Softimage!

Programming is amazing fun (especially with Python (and Softimage has some really good scripting documentation, too)). So I guess I hope you can get the same value out of it as I do.

@Deviss: XSI 6.0+ is supported, looks to me like you're using an older XSI version.
