sorry for turret things..
I didn't separate the parts.
I am really not good for animation and technical things and choose not having bigger problem.
again, I am really sorry for that I cannot help.

Yea. I took a little look at it and actually making the thing animate would not be easy. Someone would have to load the model up in 3D software, modify the skeleton to fit and than manually skin the mesh to the new skeleton piece by piece. All the while constantly keeping in mind how each of the animations work and how they are supposed to work. And once that is done someone would have to spend way too much time going through every single animation modifying it so that it actually works with the new skeleton. Not easy.

Anyway, I had a couple hours to kill so try this on for size.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Wow thanks for doing that Purple, good to see you on the forums again btw.

 

[rtt4a]

Thanks PPQ tested in game and works fine.
Thanks also Kine for making great new units.

Edit: Closer look and animations works but gun turrets r little out of there places.

 

[PPQ_Purple]

can you post a screenshot so that I can adjust? They looked fine where I am from. Also, are you using the included special KFM or the default destroyer one? Because it won't work with the default ones.

Hi,
i tried with 46.kfm but with that the whole unit stops to work. I mean that it shows in game and all but in pedia theres nothing but button.
After that i tried wtih destroyer.kfm and unit works expect those turret places.

[rtt4a]

this is how pedia page looks with 46.kfm

 

[PPQ_Purple]

That is odd indeed. Here is what it looks like for me.


This being said, I did see these things happening with units before with some other units when testing. But the only way I've ever seen it happen is if the KFM was in a different folder than the nif.

I have seen this also earlier, but if I remember correct it was because some error in file entries..
This one is really weird, its something in kfm-file.. tested many times and all works fine with regular destroyer.kfm (expect misplaced turrets).

 

[PPQ_Purple]

The odd thing is that I did not actually edit the KFM it self at all. All the edits are in the kf files. I just renamed the kfm file because I felt like it. Basically each of the kf files I had to manually open and edit the location of each of the turret bones to match their new positions.

Since I can't reproduce the issue I'll do the next best thing and give you debugging instructions. Start by taking each of the kf files in the folder one by one and replacing it with the default ones from the destroyer.

So pick -> replace -> load game. If the error is gone than report the file to me. Otherwise revert to the modified file I made and pick the next one.

PS. How are you testing this? My test environment is basically a mod that only has this one unit and 2 xml files.

 

[rtt4a]

Ill try that when have some free time. Im testing with ROM-AND2, latest version.

 

[PPQ_Purple]

If you are inserting it strait into another mod than it might be conflicting with something from it as well. Make sure to test it without anything else first and than carefully introduce it to make sure you are adding it correctly.
For my own work with RiFE I add all my models as a custom module to make sure no clashes occur. And even than fiddling might be required at times.

Thanks a lot Purple~!!
recently I am learning animation to make the tin cans move like units..
Still far from there though,

after downloading which folder do I place this in I'M new and this is a neat ship
