#41 Keep it up Joseph, you are a star :)

#42 Thanks Joseph and others for working on this project. great stuff.

#43 Sweet. Nice work Joseph.

#44 Joseph, have you updated the download with the two fixes you mentioned above (from 1/7/06)?

Thanks.

#45 ...

#46 Thank you Joseph!

I'm really looking forward to this. I'm hesitating to upgrade to Blender 2.40 for now (I'm still a newb modeler, but I'm looking forward to using the new, improved IK stuff in Blender 2.40).

I wish I knew more about what was going on there to help out in some way.

#47 I wouldn't hesitate, upgrade and start learning all the new and cool stuff in Blender. The current exporter does not limit any current feature, just doesn't support the new features.

#48 Hi,

I just tried to set up Python24 for Blender to use the exporter like it was said in the readme. Unfortunately Blender does not recognize the exporter.

I installed Python24 in "G:\Programme\Blender Foundation\Blender\Python24". Then I add a Environment Variable in Windows XP

(SET PYTHONPATH=G:\Programme\Blender Foundation\Blender\Python24;G:\Programme\Blender Foundation\Blender\Python24\DLLS;G:\Programme\Blender Foundation\Blender\Python24\LIB;G:\Programme\Blender Foundation\Blender\Python24\LIB\LIB-TK).

I started Blender and set the Python-File-Path to "G:\Programme\Blender Foundation\Blender\Python24".

Nothing happened. The exporter was installed in:
"G:\Programme\Blender Foundation\Blender\Python24\TorqueExporter".

What am I doing wrong?

The filepath in the Environment Variable *DLLS and *LIB looks odd...

#49 Hi,

I used this tutorial to install the dts exporter from blender :
tdn.garagegames.com/wiki/DTS/Blender/Downloading_and_Installing_the_Exporter

I use linux ubuntu with :

Python 2.4.2
Blender : blender-2.40-linux-glibc232-py24-i386.tar.gz
Blender Python Scripts for 2.4 ( export blender to dts blender24dtsexport.zip )


When i launch the menu file/export/"torque shape ..." , i get the folowing message error into the unix window and the export function stop with "script error" message.


Any idea to fix it ?

#51 @joseph

have you heard/seen anything about this? www.elysiun.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=58693

I'm not quite sure but from what I understand it makes it so you won't have to "bake" animations anymore, it will read the actual pose on each frame. I think I read somewhere that it will be in a 2.4.1 coming soon.

#52 ...

#53 Keep Goin' Joseph!
cvs updates of yesterday are mainly on armatures, bones and pose mode. If you can make IK and/or constrained (Copy Loc and Rot) animations Work in 2.40 or 2.41. It would be very usefull for many peoples.

Really good Job !
Thanx.

#54 @Joseph

I followed your instructions but it is still not working. I could not uninstall the python version because it was a *.zip so I only deleted all files and reinstalled blender.
I have now no extra folder in scripts saying "TorqueExporter", is that right?

Thanks!

#56 Here is a thread describing some problems getting the exporter to work and how to correct it.

#57 HI,

somehow my DTSPython folder was empty. I copied the files into it and reevaluted the FilePaths for the python script path and there it was. Thanks for the help!

#58 Is anyone else having a problem opening up the *.tar file for the latest changes? I keep getting a header corrupt when I try to extract the file.

#59 Joseph Greenawalt could you give me more information on your remarks :

"@Philippe C:
Looks like your python install is messed up in some way? That error seems to be happening when importing a standard python library."


In the file Torque_Util.py I added the folowing code :

import sys
print sys.path

import struct,math, string
from struct import *
import array
from array import *


and i got in the console window the trace below when i use the menu file/export/torque shape DTS :

as you can see the path seems good .

I set the PYTHONPATH with these paths => always the same error.

Any ideas or clues to help me ?

is the DTS exporter works on linux in the previous version ?
If someone use it at this moment , could give me the version of blender, python that you use ?

:)
