Need Help Exporting Player Model

[Jalechah]

Sorry i posted this same thread in the discussion part ..

 

I thought i would try making a player model again. This time using a Zombie that i made in class using 3DS MAX. its been ages since i have touched jka so i cant seem to remember everything of what to do. im using the jk3 skeleton. i cut the mesh up into all the parts like hips, torso, l_arm etc linked them correctly, iv linked all the bolts, iv wieghed it, iv reset X forms, iv aligned to the stupid triangle. umm iv done everything i can think of but when i go into assimilate and use carcass35 it comes up with the error

 

Error: Model has 56 surfaces, but only 1 can be reached by recursing from surface 0 ('head')

You need to re-hierarchy this model correctly

These are the surface(s) not reachable from surface 0...

 

and then it lists a ton of stuff

 

please help me find out what im doing wrong!!! its driving me insane!

ill include the max file for anyone who is willing to take a look at it.

im just trying to get it in game at the moment so i just rigged everything to the pelvis

I'll take a look at the file.

Ok it looks like you forgot to link the stupid_triangle_off / roots stuff.

 

There's a maxscript to auto link all of the hierarchy:

Just load the maxscript and re compile the .XSI, see if that helps.

 

To do it manually, select each and link to their corresponding "parent":

 

-Hips should be linked to "stupid_triangle_off"

-"stupid_triangle_off" is linked to mesh_root

-mesh_root is linked to skeleton_root

-skeleton_root is linked to model_root
