Modding problems

Dašarath · 01-20-2020, 05:56 PM

I tried to extract actors with 7gen_0.7 using the 7gen03b version of Python, but it did not extract actors. I tried to download the newer version that was listed in the readme file, but I could not find a 32 bit version of the Python listed there. Then someone suggested for me to use Jayrod's Actor Extractor but I could not extract the texture files.

So I still need help.

Is 7gen set on the correct source folder? sometimes that can be an issue.

do you mean the path? because the path is directed to the right folder

Well, that’s about the extent of my help. Sorry, man.

Dašarath · 01-21-2020, 05:10 PM

ok so i figured out a way to fix that issue. but i tried to replace a hat and it worked but when i tried to enable it. this happens

You need to change to 0 - uncompressed on the mode section on 3DMM Pencil, that will work.

i have ran into a new problem related to the pallete. i cant seem to find a good pallete

Toonsville · 01-22-2020, 09:23 PM

You can try download The Windows XP Version of MSPaint from the Internet Archive. I recently used it to edit TMAPS.

Palette here in .pal and .act format for use with Photoshop/GIMP

Dašarath · 01-23-2020, 09:41 AM

what i meant was, i can not seem to find a good palette that would work with my image in 3dmmpencil

Dašarath · 01-23-2020, 10:52 AM

not only that. but i have to make the face extremely small. is there some way i can make it high quality?

Dašarath · 01-24-2020, 10:59 AM

ok so i have made a new actor using gustave and i put absoulutely EVERYTHING to 0 uncompressed. but i get that message i showed earlier

Dašarath · 01-25-2020, 07:38 PM

that situation was fixed but now my 40convert wont convert my objs to bmdl

Toonsville · 01-25-2020, 08:10 PM

It has to be In the same root folder of 40convert.

Dašarath · 02-03-2020, 01:20 PM

ok new problem. the program always crashes. i know its because of an actor. but i dont know why it is specifically that actor. the polygons are all under 120.

Toonsville · 02-03-2020, 05:05 PM

The specific model you're using has to be low poly.

what world be the ideaal amount of polygons then? under 256?

Toonsville · 02-03-2020, 07:28 PM

Maybe.

Dašarath · 02-04-2020, 07:25 AM

well currently i found out one of my models is just under 256 polygons. it might be what actually causes the crash?

Dašarath · 02-21-2020, 08:11 PM

i have come here with a new problem

why does this keep happening? is this something with blender itself?

Evil Ash · 02-22-2020, 02:06 AM

It's probably an issue with your normals. You'll want to ensure they're all facing the same way.

This can be hard to see if you have backface culling off

Or it's the exporter you're using eating up your polygons yum yum yum

Evil Ash · 02-22-2020, 02:07 AM

This might help, under Recalculate Normals:

https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/l...g/normals.html

Dašarath · 06:25 AM

its probably the exporter. since when i turned on backface culling everything seemed normal. i still dont know how to fix this though.
