               Hi,

awesome - love it. '> Thanks for all the work you put into this.

I do have a question though. The manual speaks of a export option to apply modifiers on export. Can't find it, and I regularily run into the problem of non-applied mirror modifiers which mess up display in NWN1.

What am I missing?
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Asymmetric]

               Ah, I think I removed that option in the last release. Now it should always apply any modifiers. I just ran a few test and it worked, but that doesn't neccesarily mean anything.
What version of blender are you using ? Are there any other modifiers on the object ?

               Any chance of this project making it to neverwintervault.org?

Also, I am not sure but it appears that I am unable to export walkmeshes since the altest update of blender. Anyone else discover this?
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Asymmetric]

               That's quite likely. They have released 2.69 already ...  I'm still using 2.67 '>.  I'll look into it this week, gonna upload it to neverwintervault too.

I think I'm gonna need change to the name or something, when they get to 2.7 and separate it from the versions for 2.6x. Usually the API changes are really extensive between their major releases. The code has already some ugly hacks in it, to keep it working between versions.

               Sounds good. Looking forward to the update. Thanks.

               I uploaded neverblender (and my other stuff) to the new vault: Neverblender on the new vault A new version with some bugfixes was released there. I hope I got rid of most of them.

I don't know about the bug with the walkmeshes though. Could be a Mac/Linux related issue, while creating the walkmesh file. I'd have to check that, but my Linux machine is broken '>, only have my notebook atm. Does it work with placeable walkmeshes, tile walkmeshes or neither ?
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_henesua]

               Excellent. I'll get to testing soon.

But when i had trouble it was tile walkmeshes that were bugged.

               Fantastic !

Thank you....

Since my work on NeverCheetah is stalled until Cheetah3d's developer expands the API, I'd like to shift my efforts to improving NeverBlender.

 

If I make changes to it, whats the best way to getting those released? Is this project in GIT? Or just on the vault?

When I've used the mdl rootdummy empty to scale down the model, the model isn't scaled down on export (though it does appear smaller in the viewport).  I'm using Blender 2.71, and haven't had any other issues with the models I've exported, so I'm guessing I'm missing something really simple.

There is a repo here https://github.com/gyoerkaa/mdltools, just updated it to the newest version. It contains neverblender, the minimap creation tool and the manual. But beware the code is a mess '>.

Oh. I didn't take that into account. Up until now I didn't even know you can scale emptys (I believe NWN does not scale dummy nodes). I'll update the next version and apply transformation all children for export. Until then I'm afraid you'll have to apply transformations to the meshes yourself.

Very cool, and thanks.

 

I haven't tried adapting the batch-minimap generator runme.bat to Mac OS; the minimap render setup in Neverblender is working fine for me, but it'd be handy to not have to open each tile individually to set up the render.  When I figure it out, I'd be happy to send you a copy of the Apple Script for inclusion in the download.  Haven't had a chance to test out the python script itself, but there's no reason that shouldn't run just fine.
