XNALara Help & Resources - Page 50

won't that make it so it's not compatible with XNALara though. I'd like to use XPS but it has a large chunk of models, ironically most of the ones that i have, that aren't compatible with XPS

EDIT: Actually i tried using XPS like you said and it just gives me and error message saying it cant load the item

dirt_null.png
Human_M_Hood_norm.png # uv layer index

Everything before and after are numerical strings

it doesn't look terribly different from what you got

It's completely messed up, that's what mario's plugin does after importing to max and exporting from it again, but it's not much of a problem. One thing about converting models is that you'll have to almost always edit groups in notepad, so it's time to look up and learn about them.

2(render group number)_Material26(meshname)_1.0(Specular highlight or in other words shine value)_0_0
1 # uv layers
3 # textures
Human_M_Hood_diff.png
0 # uv layer index(this line is mandatory after every listed texture)
dirt_null.png
0 # uv layer index
Human_M_Hood_norm.png
0 # uv layer index
1122 # vertices

This is how your group should look (of course ignore my green lousy explanations). I don't have any link to examples atm, sorry.

Yeah I was wondering how it would load a erroneous file.
Well Goha nailed it for you, I didn't even notice that xD

Ken Murikumo · 11-05-12, 12:16

Actually, yeah, that did work like a charm. Thanks allot Everyone.

But i did get rid of a few "unused" bones so i don't exceed the bone limit on meshgroups and unfortunately they weren't actually unused, so i ended up with a few unassigned verts that went haywire...

Oh, how do you make things glow, or remain at full brightness even in the dark (like the omni-tool that was uploaded)

Meshes should be split already.. gonna check again later.

Render group 21. It's unaffected by light settings. I include mesh.ascii in my stuff, omniblade should have it too, so take a peek to see how it looks in the notepad.

Oh here. Not all of them (lacks 26,27, 28 and 29), but clearly explained.

Runa · 11-05-12, 12:40

If I split meshes even more, I have a new error message:

Could not load OBJ file.
Face has an unsupported number of vertices(line 75761).
