DSQ files wont load in show tool

by Stephen Walsh · in Torque Game Engine · 10/18/2005 (9:59 am) · 13 replies

Any ideas, i build a sequence called run in max. set it to run for 30 frames in the track view, deteted the mesh, (im told this has to be done) so now all you have are the movinging bones , detail2, bounds, ans some dummys.

here my cfg file i used

AlwaysExport:
eye
detail2
Dummy01
cam
LeftFoot
LeftHand
LeftLowerArm
LeftShin
leftTigh
LeftToe
LeftUpperArm
LeftHip
RightFoot
RightHand
RightLowerArm
RightShin
RightTigh
RightToe
RightUpperArm
RightHip
unlink

NeverExport:
IK Chain01
IK Chain02
IK Chain03
IK Chain04
IK Chain05

i deleted some bones that where not being animated form the export list.

So now i load my show tool, load my player. (loads fine) load my sequence and nothing happens ( the sequence is based on the player).

any ideas. need any photos, need any more info. need the files?

Ensure that you have the same DTS nodes between your DTS and DSQ. If you do not the DSQ will not apply to your DTS since the engine thinks that they are different structures.

Yes, i have my player model, i exported it, so now its my player in the game.

then i resaved my max fiel as run.max and made a sequence (starting from the orginal player shape , moving the right leg , then back to the orginal shape)

and it just wont load in the show tool

Check your .dmp file and make sure that the exporter is loading your .cfg file and that all your bones are being processed by the exporter. If you are using Showtool Pro you should be able to see the bones in the nodes list.

I've been having similar problems just with the orc (figured I'd use him as a standin till I get it all up and running). Seems like the orc that Jeremy used as a standin for Oust is not the default player.max that was in the starter.fps.

For one thing there are extra dummies. lights and fingers in the player.max file not present in what I understand to be the realmwars orc. Only been messing with this since lastnight so I'm probably not in a good position to try and help.
