Nexus Buddy 2

Nexus Buddy 2 - Granny Editor for Civ 5 2.5.3

I figured out the problem, I had to rename each of the vertex groups and bones. To do this, I used a community plugin called Mixamo Converter, with blender 2.79b. It works! Now I just have to get the character in game...
 
Her hair didn't show up correctly, but I'm working on a fix for that.
Other than that, custom animations, custom rig and character... she works!

Hi all, our team is currently having an issue with getting a unit model to function in game. The Unit model itself is graphically a series of buildings, thus we need no animations for it.

The current issue we are facing is that when we try to get the model to load in-game it generally spasms. A screenshot of the issue can be found below, but if a video is preferred we can upload that shortly.
Spoiler :


Note: The model is supposed to be pink (as we are testing with a textureless model)


The person handling implementation has wanted me to make note of the following points:

-The model loads in Granny Viewer, and has less than 32 Vertex Groups.
-The model does not load in Nexus. It says the .gr2 and .dds files are missing. NexusBuddy was then reinstalled, and they made sure that the asset path was correct.
-All the assets are in the same folder, and the only .gr2 file has no animation.
- The FXSXML can be found below:
Spoiler :
<Asset>
<Mesh file="Barricade.gr2" source="Tool"/>
<Animation file="Barricade.gr2" name="BarricadeStatus" ec="1000, 1020, 1040, 1100, 1120, 1140, 1160, 1180, 1200, 1220, 1280, 1285, 1290, 1400, 1440, 1450, 1500, 1520, 1540, 1560, 1580, 1600, 1620, 1640, 1800, 2000, 2020, 2040, 2100, 2200, 2220, 2440" source="Tool" />
<Texture file="maybeTest1.dds"/>
</Asset>


Any help regarding this would be very appreciated! Many thanks in advance.

I would need the project files and the Blender file to see what is wrong. It maybe that someone is using FBX -> GR2 in Nexus Buddy 2 which often corrupts the mesh data in which case BR2 -> GR2 the reliable method should be used instead.

Very late response, but I've got both links for you. I tried converting from FBX > GR2 then to BR2 > GR2, but it still gets messed up in-game. If you'd like anymore information, please let me know.

I've finally got around to looking at this barricade model. I've got it working as far as Nexus 3D Viewer so should work in game now.

Steps I performed:

Blender 2.79
1) Delete Cameras and Lamps - you can use the Outliner to see these and remove them.
2) Used Ctrl-A to apply scale, rotation.
3) Exported to BR2 format.

Nexus Buddy 2
1) Open BR2 file.
2) Add BuildingShader Material and assign it to Box001 mesh.
3) In the Material set Diffuse to point to the DDS texture - I renamed this grey_brick.dds and made sure it was DXT5 format DDS.
4) Set up simple fxsxml file:
Code:
<Asset>
    <Mesh file="barricade.gr2"/>
    <Texture file="grey_brick.dds"/>
</Asset>

Hope this helps!

Using Nexus Buddy 2.5.3

I want to change an FX of projectile. Replace the one type of rockets to another, new.
Work with siege01.gr2, siege01.fxsxml

1. Made a model of FX rocket proj_siege_missile_big01a.fxsxml, proj_siege_missile_big01a.gr2
2. Made a new VisualEffects in apropriate XML database linked to new model.
3. Made a TimedTrigger file="FX_Triggers_Siege_01a.ftsxml" linked to new VisualEffects.

Now I need assign a new TimedTrigger to model. I think it's possible to do with "Reorder FTSXML Triggers" option on Additional Actions Tab.
But when I tap on it and choose a new ftsxml appeared window says next:

@Protok St I think you have misunderstood what "Reorder FTSXML Triggers" is for. It is designed to be used on existing base game *.ftsxml to reorder them and make them more readable.

You should run it on the base game *.ftsxml for the unit that you uses the projectile you are basing your new projectile on.

I can see some difference in reordered file and added XML tags. Ok.

1. Am I right that assigning TimedTrigger file in fxsxml model file is not enough?
2. How to make a connection between New FTSXML file and GR2 file?

Though changing the Mesh and Textures in the .fxsxml file doesn't do anything in-game, changing the TimedTrigger reference to your new .ftsxml does work.

How to change the TimedTrigger reference to new .ftsxml?
 
Make a copy of the .ftsxml with a different name, add it to your mod (VFS=true), then edit your .fxsxml and change the TimedTrigger line to the new filename.
 
So, I have a customised mounted unit (ibex rider), but I want to make only the mount smaller. If I do, it gets stretched back to the size of a regular horse. Because I don't want to scale the rider down, I can't use the adjustment bone feature, as the rider and the mount are hierarchically in the same model, just two different meshes. Is there any workaround in NexusBuddy for this?

EDIT: NVM, I got it solved, had to ctrl-A and apply location+rotation+scale
