Animation: sequence helper missing

by __._ · in Artist Corner · 11/20/2006 (2:50 am) · 5 replies

For some strange reason I do not have the sequence helper as described in the manual under http://www.garagegames.com/docs/tge/general/ch08s03.php. It has worked before though, but it's simply gone.. I have overwritten the dts exporter plugin, and re-installed the new dts exporter plus but this didn't help.

Can anyone tell me how I get this helper back, so I can animate my models again?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: loading up old models with animation gives the following error:
Missing DLL's:
FileName: max2dtsExporter60.dle Class: Sequence SuperClass: 0x50

I'm assuming you're using the new "pro" exporter? It doesn't use sequence helpers.

Then it would seem I have been using the functionality from both the old and new exporter through eachother. Unfortunately I can't seem to get any animation to export with the pro exporter. Showtool doesn't list the sequence at all. ( http://ehv-srvhost-fe.fontys.nl/imd/tmp/exporter.jpg )

Is there a manual somewhere? The TDN only offers help on the normal exporter, which uses the sequence helpers that went missing in action somehow. Or pherhaps the screenshot I linked shows something I did wrong?

Make ABSOLUTELY sure you DON'T have both exporters installed in the plugins folder at the same time. This WILL cause problems and just generally mess everything up.

As for how to do sequences with the new exporter, I have no idea. I prefer to use the old one.

That was the problem indeed.

I would prefer to use the normal exporter as well myself, but I'm not sure how to set up things like transparent textures etc. and I do know how to do it with the "pro" exporter.
