Coding : help with non humanoid model tags/bones

[Code]

Greetings ever1

im working on a multiplayer mod ( RPGMOD )

 

our mod needs non humanoid 'players'

i started with the atst

 

1st step for me was allowing multi gla (bg)

this is completed, and works great

 

to avoid disk hits, i also precached the atst model

however on that point there a problems

 

since im having problem setting the atst bones, it 'thinks' its a bad model so then loads (precatch) DEFAULT_MODEL

 

so i have a kyle with atst anims lol <- ilarious

 

Server side, jo does this with humanoid bones :

trap_G2API_AddBolt(client->ghoul2, 0, "*r_hand");
trap_G2API_AddBolt(client->ghoul2, 0, "*l_hand");
trap_G2API_SetBoneAnim(client->ghoul2, 0, "model_root", 0, 12, BONE_ANIM_OVERRIDE_LOOP, 1.0f, level.time, -1, -1);
trap_G2API_SetBoneAngles(client->ghoul2, 0, "upper_lumbar", tempVec, BONE_ANGLES_POSTMULT, POSITIVE_X, NEGATIVE_Y, NEGATIVE_Z, NULL, 0, level.time);
trap_G2API_SetBoneAngles(client->ghoul2, 0, "cranium", tempVec, BONE_ANGLES_POSTMULT, POSITIVE_Z, NEGATIVE_Y, POSITIVE_X, NULL, 0, level.time);

 

and client side this :

ci->bolt_rhand = trap_G2API_AddBolt(ci->ghoul2Model, 0, "*r_hand");
trap_G2API_SetBoneAnim(ci->ghoul2Model, 0, "model_root", 0, 12, BONE_ANIM_OVERRIDE_LOOP, 1.0f, cg.time, -1, -1);
trap_G2API_SetBoneAngles(ci->ghoul2Model, 0, "upper_lumbar", tempVec, BONE_ANGLES_POSTMULT, POSITIVE_X, NEGATIVE_Y, NEGATIVE_Z, NULL, 0, cg.time);
trap_G2API_SetBoneAngles(ci->ghoul2Model, 0, "cranium", tempVec, BONE_ANGLES_POSTMULT, POSITIVE_Z, NEGATIVE_Y, POSITIVE_X, NULL, 0, cg.time);
ci->bolt_head = trap_G2API_AddBolt(ci->ghoul2Model, 0, "*head_top");
ci->bolt_motion = trap_G2API_AddBolt(ci->ghoul2Model, 0, "Motion");
ci->bolt_llumbar = trap_G2API_AddBolt(ci->ghoul2Model, 0, "lower_lumbar");

 

taking a look with modview at the kyle and atst model

i found these

 

both have a model_root

 

the humanoid's hands are

*r_hand and *l_hand

the atst's one

*flash1 and *flash2

 

the humanoid have a upper_lumbar and lower_lumbar

the atst does not,

i tryed : l_clavical and r_clavical

 

the humanoid have a cranium

the atst does not have a cranium

i tryed : pelvis (ya i know, but somewhere else in the code they do)

i also tryed : *head

 

the humanoid have a motion

the atst does not

i just skiped this one,

since Razor Ace was kind enought to explain that one to me

and that the atst does not need anim blending

 

im not a modeler , could someone help me with these,

what tag/bone should i use for the atst (compared to humanoid) ?

 

thanks alot

I'd love to help you out here - I'm particularly interested in the multi-GLA thing you mentioned and where you precache the ATST GLA ...

well it helped a bit ^.^

 

however im still having problems with the bones

 

and most wierd of all

rww do trap_SetBoneAnim s (in atst routines)

on bones that dosent exist ie lower lumbar

so i guess i must check on each of those 'calls'

 

knowing what i should use would help

ive tryed to look at the bones and anim in modview (both the same time)

im confused o.O

 

ill figure i guess,

im still looking for info on the tags/bones stuff

 

as for how i precatch , i simply do it on map spawn

take a look at BGPAFtextloaded in g_spawn (i think its the var name)

 

of course i dont use those anymore and my bg_parseanim func is diferent

since i have anims sets (yep actualy all the ones in sp )

 

here a screenie
