Lightsaber model problems.

[Darth Xander]

Hi its me again, thanks to Quanon's help I was able to produce this lightsaber. Unfortuantley it floats a few meters out of my PC's hands when equipped and it won't accept it's texture.

 

 

 

I'd appreciate any help you guys can give.

Thanks in advance.

Right i'm completely useless with models so ignore this if you want:

 

1. Did you remember to align the new hilt with an original.

2.Did you remember to reset Xforms before linking to the AuraBase?

[Darth Xander]

Ask Quanon he did most of the work. hope you guys can shed light on whats wrong cos this matter is out of my hands:lol:.

You should try following T7nowhere's tutorial and learn to do it yourself. It's not that hard, especially since you already have the modeling part done.

Thanks Kristy but I would like to find a way to fix this one.

 

Also I managed to get textures the onto the saber and blade here a screenie:

I helped xander out and I used T7nowheres tutorial .

Though I might have misread something ... :

 

I've ran into the same problem and I think Xander is using the Hilt I compiled with MDlops .

 

Fors some reason , things go wrong.( Believe me , I did the aligning of pivots point and the ResetXform , linking to the Dummy )

 

I already have a working saberhilt for TSL ( made that long ago ) , now I just can't seem to get it right .

 

 

So that's why I adviced Xander to ask here on Holowan .

 

Though I fear he might have to redo everything .

 

I'm even clueless on what goes wrong ...

 

EDIT : Did some other test runs , I don't get it .

 

Just for fun I did the regular Read and Write Model : My hilt ( a simple 8 sided cylinder ) is in right spot , nicely in the hands , though the blades are invisible .

 

So seeing that the hilt was in the right spot , I did the Replacer .

And bang ! Saber is broken and out of place .

 

New thought : KotorTool does something wrong when I extract the orginal models . Or MDlops replacer is broken on my PC .

 

Anyway I can't help with this , since it goes wrong whatever I do .

To Quanon:

 

If you're using any version of model ops above version 0.5 then that is most likely the problem. I was personally unable to make a lightsaber work properly with the 0.6 alpha versions. I suffered a great deal of frustration before I finally figured out what the problem was. It was also one of these versions that removed the shaders from my Revan cutscene models.

OMG ! Thanks for this info .

 

I'm using 0.6.1 alpha1 :

 

EDIT : Got MDlops 0.5 now and it works !

 

@Xander : Give me nudge on MSN and I'll send you the program .

 

Thanks Kristy Kistic , you saved my day !

[Darth Xander]

RH you can close this now.

 

Ok. Note: There are other staff you know... but I do appreciate my l33tness is recognised. -RH
