How To: Make Leaderheads! Ekmek's Guide

[The Capo]

Mexirish? How do you take your coffee?

I don't normally drink coffee, but whenever I do there is usually wiskey in it. I am not really that much of a drunk (well, at least I don't say so), but back when I was bartending I'd drink Coffee with Jameson towards the end of the shift. Not that anybody cares but I basically stick to wiskey as far as drinking goes, sometimes I'll have a gin and tonic and sometimes I'll drink margaritas if I am at a mexican restaurant. For beer I like a lot of beers and actually know a lot about beers and how they are made (I used to brew my own back in my college days), I tend to like English ales though, but I can appreciate a good beer provided it is actually a good beer.

a 2 second fix - see picture

Oh man, I fail so hard. Thanks, it works excellently. You should see this guy around soon...

 

[The Capo]

Okay, seriously. What the man. Why does this keep happening? I installed everything in the order listed TWICE now and this keeps happening. What could I possibly be doing wrong?

I mean is there some specific I have to click or certain filepaths I need to use here? I am using whatever the installation files tell me so I'm not doing anything different when I DL them or anything. Am I supposed to? This is god damn irritating, and I am easily irritated so it sucks even more. Also it pisses me off that I've done this before and can't do it now. .

Well I figured that part out, I think, but then when I followed the next step the screen didn't show up the same as in your guide. Check this out.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE A FRIGGIN LEADERHEAD DAMN IT!!!

You can download it, and it has pictures, so it is probably better to do that rather than copy it to text.

Where?
It haven't got pictures.

Well its on the OP in big bold letters, I don't know how you could have missed it.

Anyway my post was bumped, so if somebody reads this I really need help with getting Blender installed. Check out my last two posts for more information.

why are you using the old guide?

I actually reinstalled recently and had the same problem i think it was trying to use the new script with the old build.

so did you use the links on the opening post and go in that order. last week i had to upload one link because they took off an older script.

I did install 2.49b recently and update everything but didn't put links up so if all the opening post stuff doesnt work, then I'll update with all the new links i've used. (I didn't do it because i wanted to test it a bit more but oh well)

 

[The Capo]

Man I don't know!

I HOPE I have it working now.

 

[Ekmek]

It looks like it. try a test export to make sure it exports right (assuming everything is assigned)

 

[The Capo]

Looks like it worked to me. Alright fools, Capo's back.

 

[Ekmek]

sweeeeeeet

Looks good so far. Is this a Spanish leader, then?

 

[The Capo]

Actually, yes and no.

It is going to be Maurits van Nassau (albeit in battle-clothing) who will be a Dutch leader in my mod. I intend on making a "Conquistador Reskin" of him though becasue I'm still toying around with doing a Conquistadors mod. When I'm finished he might make a good Don Quixote or something for your fictionalization mod if you are interested at all.

I have a question that hopefully someone can help me answer; how can I get that effect that Sitting Bull has on another LH? The "firelight" effect.

its either by using his BG or by adjusting your bloomlighting on your leaderhead to be like his boomlighting. cfane or methylorange might know they messed with those things a lot.

Hello, Ekmek!

It seems I have encountered an unexpected problem, one not having to do with LH-making necessarily but the blender program itself.

Now, when I try to import a nif into blender, it doesn't work, and I get this same error message from the python. I don't know why it's happening, though I do know it happened after I finished with my Turk LH.

I have attached an attachement with a screenshot of the error I get. You may also notice that in the blender program itself, there is no nif, but only pink lines (I'm assuming that's the animation bones or something?).

Anyhow, do you know what the problem is? If not, I guess I'll just re-install the program.

 

[Ekmek]

i never figured out what caused this problem but reinstalling everything fixed it.

I don't think Don Quijote was a head of state though. If he were the head of any state it would be a state of insanity.

Alright. Thanks; although I suspect that something I did with my first LH caused the program to not read the python/code/whatever right.
