Nexus Buddy 2 - Granny Editor for Civ 5 2.5.3

[Nutty]

And by "worked just fine" I meant to say it "worked but was terribly unstable." Could you upload the new version?

 

[Ekmek]

How does the name extension modification work I'm getting an error that it van't find a certain bone name which I think was truncated because of the name size but somehow my blender "forgot" so it won't export.

Would it be affected if I work on two different computers I use an exterbal drive so I can work different places and I wonder if drive path matters or it looks in a certain folder for the "name map"

The biggest pisser is that I did all the rigging work and its lost.

It works by storing a map between the truncated Blender bone and mesh names and the full one inside the Blender armature object data. So the original bone name will be part of your Blender data if you've saved the .blend.

For example, if a Bone has the name "VeryVeryVeryVeryVeryLongBoneName" then the map from the temp bone name to the original work something like:
"B_VeryVeryVe^gBoneName" -> "VeryVeryVeryVeryVeryLongBoneName"

The issue you might be having is that I changed the prefix recently from BN_/MN_ to B_/M_ so it may be that the export script does not match up with the prefix from the NB2 import script you used.

Is the problem that the BR2 export script fails?

If you upload your .blend if should be possible to salvage your work even if it takes a bit of Python script to get out the original bone name.

 

[Ekmek]

Work won't let me upload the blend but the error says its in line 126 in the br2.py

"If not parentArm0b.name in modelMeshes:
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no sttribute 'name'

i'll try to upload it tonight

 

[Ekmek]

Here's the blend

 

[Deliverator]

Here's the blend

The issue is simply that the mesh haile_pants needs to parented to the armature. If you right click to select the pants mesh then shift-right click the armature (skeleton) then do Ctrl-P > Make Parent To Armature you can then export to BR2 no problem.

If you check the Outliner it is easier to see if any meshes are not parented to the model's armature.

 

[Ekmek]

Weid. I added the parent but then it required that I modiy the Parent armature. F9 (editing) panel on the way right. Mine had no name. joining the objects then separating them fixed it. thx.

I am having a problem with a export to blender with there being holes in the mesh but everything looks fine when it is in blender. I have tried the clean meshes script but nothing seems to takes the holes away.

 

[Ekmek]

is it exporting the damaged states?

Are you using the Overwrite Meshes from BR2 method?

 

[Wolfdog]

is it exporting the damaged states?

No, it looks like a damage state but the model does not have a damage state.

Are you using the Overwrite Meshes from BR2 method?

Yes, that is why I am confused as to why its not working as its always worked in the past. Must just be something with this particular mesh.

Any chance you can compiles a copy under Windows 7?

Cant seem to get this program to work, Win7 64bit OS. Have Net Framework 4 Extended. Throws this error every time:-

Been away from CiV for a while. Got new rig now, so have to re accuire some things

 

[Deliverator]

The BR2 script will remove some identical duplicate points in order to get a result that is not blocky looking. It could be that you mesh has a lot of doubles in it. You could try using Rem Doubles with the threshold set to zero and see if that solves the issue.

I have compiled a version under Windows 7 here.

 

[Horem]

Thank you. I did however have to extract it into the Nexus folder for it to work.

Thanks Deliverator, I tried the remove doubles script but it kept saying 0 meshes removed. I ended up getting it to work in the end by exporting it to .nif then re-importing it back in to blender. I think it was something that happened when I ran the decimate modifier on it that it somehow removed some of the faces even though it looked fine in blender.

I recompiled the posted source on site 1, changed some things (null exceptions) and started the program. It worked to load Civ5 stuff.
But why can't I load gr2 meshes from other games?
I get a crash:

Can you help me? I want to export the bones, like the original has it.
The current gr2 to smd exporter doesnt export the real bones.

What can I do? I want to get the skeleton out of the gr2 file to use it for other meshes.
Help @Deliverator

 

[Ekmek]

I think its because each gr2 has a unique identifier. check the forums for subsim, they tried other gr2s

So I tried this out and it asked me to assign a folder, I assigned the one I thought I was supposed to and it crashed immediately. And now it's crashing whenever I open it. I tried deleting the folder and download it again, and it still crashes, and I also tried S3rgeus recompiled version with no success.

 

[Ekmek]

I think its the sdk folder its looking folder.
