Sequences not loading via .cs file
by David Harris · in Artist Corner · 06/17/2002 (8:47 pm) · 7 replies
Hello all,
I am attempting to load a model into the -show utility but I am having a few problems. I can import the character and everything is fine except I can only view one sequence at a time. When I open up Thread Control, I only see the root sequence. I can add one more sequence if I hit Load Sequence. I have created a .cs file which is basically a modified version of the player.cs and changed the relevant entries.
I can also only load one sequence at a time. When I attempt to load a second, nothing happens. I checked the console and I get the message...
"Missing file : rw/data/shapes/steve/steve.cs!"
The file is there, I don't understand what the error message means. If anybody has any words advice, I'm listening intently.

Well, I know for a fact that I had a sequence object in my dts file. I'm going to change that right now. Thanks for the tips. These forums have been dead lately.Dave

I'm working in Windows 2000...to make the .cs file I opened up "player.cs" and modified it to my characters specifics. I then hit "save as" and entered "XXXX.cs"
What notepad actually did was saved the file as "XXXX.cs.txt". Unfortunately, the .txt portion of the filename doesn't show. I simply fixed this by making a copy of the player.cs and renaming it to what I wanted first. Then I open up notepad and modify, when I hit "save" it saves it as a .cs file.
I feel so silly. :-)
Thanks for the advice, everything is working fine now.

Oh my goodness. I figured out what the problem was. This is sad but I think this has happened to more people than just me. It wasn't that my file was in the wrong place...I'm working in Windows 2000...to make the .cs file I opened up "player.cs" and modified it to my characters specifics.

You should try Tribal IDE for editing those .cs files, it does a fantastic job at keeping file formats...-=myk=-

Just select "*.*" when saving the file. This will prevent notepad from adding any extension.I recommend Ultra-Edit 32.

1. Check your file paths to make SURE they are correct. I know its obvious, but just double check there arent any mispellings or miscapitalizations
2. Make sure the dts and cs file have the same name (except for the extension obviously)
3. Make sure you didnt accidently export the dts file with a sequence object already in it. YOu dont want any sequences at all in your dts file
