Sereja's Tutorial: Adding Animated Body Parts.


Sorry, in this tutorial, I will not explain, how to open XSI Mod Tool, since, I already done this, in my previous tutorial: Animated Door Creating:
http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=dcd8282a9a66c622fbae37ca6c01686e&topic=5433.0

So, you prefer modern fashion, and wish to put on, some new helmet? That's not a problem now.

Step 1.
Import Models.

First, you need to choose, what basic body, and what addon parts, you wish to have. Addons, you may easy create by yourself, or take some, from already exist models. So, for example, let's try add stormtrooper helmet, to Luke body. Copy this models, from Assets folder, and put them in to the next directory:
C:\Softimage\Softimage_Mod_Tool_7.5\Addons\ModTool_Database\Models
Open new Scene, with your XSI Mod Tool, and create Null, in your choosed  window, for Explorer.
Click: ZETools>Import MSH, and choose your model directory:
C:\Softimage\Softimage_Mod_Tool_7.5\Addons\ModTool_Database\Models\imp_inf_stormtrooper.msh
Than, click Import button.
Now, you should see, a stormtrooper model, with lot of colorfull bones. You need only a helmet, so, in Explorer window, you need to start clicking, on tiny bone "pluses", till, you open all hierarchy tree, and find model, named Imp_inf_Trooper_Helmet.
So, drag it, in to your just created Null. Now, click on DummyRoot, by left mouse button, then click middle mouse button, and then, Delete button, from your PC keyboard. Well, now you got only the helmet. Let's edit it, a lttle bit.
Click, by left mouse button to helmet, so, it should become white. Under Modify panel, click Poly.Mesh>Weld Boundary Points/Edges, and set Distance 0,002, in pop up window. This, should fix disconected polygons, and sharp edges problem. Next, under Modify panel, click Poly.Mesh>Quadrangulate. This, should decrease no needed triangle polygons.
So, it's now, time for body. Import, with ZETools all_inf_Luke.msh, just like you done with imp_inf_stormtrooper.msh. You may done the same improvements, with each part, of the Luke body, just like you done, for stormtrooper helmet.
Also, you will need to hide some parts, like sv_luke (shadow), hp_weapons, bone_root, by just click "H" button, from your keyboard. Now, when you finish with improvements, drag Imp_inf_Trooper_Helmet model, in to the DummyRoot.

Step 2.
Animation.

Change purple Model theme, to green Animate theme. In Luke bones hierarchy tree, find bone, named bone_head, and you may unhide it, by clicking "H".
Now, click on Imp_inf_Trooper_Helmet, and under Deform panel, click: Envelope>Set Envelope>Yes, in pop up window. Your cursor, should be changed to "pick", and now, you must not click at anything, except bone_head null. After that, just click right mouse button. That's it! Your animated helmet is ready. Now, just click left mouse button, on DummyRoot, then click middle mouse button on it, click ZETools>Export MSH, and check the model in game.

What? You expect something more difficult? Nope. It's just a matter of few "clicks".

Well, if you have more time, you may also edit shadow, by improve polygons, etc.
Also, if you wish to add more complicated part, like a bag, or breathe pipes etc. which may have more than 1 enveloped bones, you need, to separate such addon to a parts, and envelope each part separately. Then just merge animated parts to single mesh, by clicking under Create panel Poly. Mesh>Merge>Mege Materials, UV, etc.>Merge Shape Animation, Envelope etc. Than edit animated points, to make them belonged to correct bones, by clicking, under Select panel: Point, than hold Alt, and click on points, you wish to change. Then, under Deform panel, click Envelope>Reassign Localy, and choose bone, which those points must be belonged.

Happy 3D Modeling!

Sereja's Monster Wheels Turret

http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=933

This is my, Monster Wheels Turret.

[spoiler][/spoiler]

The model is almost stock. I just add the wheels.

Known bugs:
I do not know, how to make correct vehicles collision, so, if you try use it as vehicle, it will have terrain collision bug. The wheels, are sunk, under terrain level, and if you add wheel collisions:
Terraincollision   = "p_v-cylinder-tripod1"
Terraincollision   = "p_v-cylinder-tripod2"
it just stuck, and will not move.

You can use it as you wish, but if you release it in your mod, you should credit me!

Well, I try to set my "bongo hangar", and figure out, that default water tills, are very big, for accurate bassin, specialy, if it have "soap" shape...
So, the question is: is it possible, to make them smaller?... (maybe by hex editing?)

My map, as usualy, overload by effects, so, if you use slow PC, you have to use my "decreased effect sides": from my Decreased_Sides folder, put them, in to your C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront\GameData\AddOn\010\Data\_lvl_pc\Side folder, make backup first.

Easter Egg contest: just find my avatar pic, and you win!

KNOWN BUGS:

1. Muzzleflash effects become appear in random places. Not sure, but looks like this bug was added by SWBF creators.
2. Muzzleflash effects, in some reason absorbed by reflection regions, so, may dissapear.
3. Charge weapon sound not works: com_weap_charge for GCW, and bowcaster_charge for CW. Reason unknown.
5. Magnetic lock, works only in certain spots of garbage room. Reason: it sure take some infantry count memory, and if I make it more solid, it may increase "infantry meditation" percent.
4. During turbolaser fire effect works, it may cause appear of some "black spot" (origin unknown).
Well, in some theory, it may cause because, when reactor energy translated to plasma rim linze, it cause collide of the electrons, and as result, micro black hole, may appears...  Anyway, till now, I have no other, more realistic explanation for this...

Since, my next conversion, probably be the Death Star, so, I try to make some nice edit for the interior. Everything works fine, including turbolaser, doors, brige, etc.
But here the sad issue, I found: in garbage room, has no magnetic lock .
So, the question is: is it possible to make it?
My idea was next: give to fighter or turret, melee weapon, make it deflect, and add garbage room, as vehicles model shape. But in some reason everything crash, or maybe I do something wrong...
So, my next idea - put soldier, armed by melee, as static model, by ZE, not by spawn point. I am almost sure, it is possible, but I am realy need some guide, because everything crash anyway .

"Black Terrain Bug", is usualy may happens, when your .Sky file is incorrect. For example, if you delete next line, this bug, will show up:
    PC()
    {
        TerrainBumpTexture("geo1_ter_bump", 1.0);
    }
But it seems, there is exist something else, that cause this bug.
Interesting, but in some reason, not all videocard, can detect this bug. This mean, if it show up, on one PC, on other, same map, cud be works as normal and bugless.
Unfortunately this happens, with my converted Felucia map: for me, it look's normal, but Kit Fisto, as tester, found this bug, on his computer:
[spoiler][/spoiler]
As he say, this bug, dissapear, when he turn terrain quality to "Low":
[spoiler][/spoiler]
I have all needed bump/detail tga textures, in my World1 folder, so, I am realy confused. As I say, on my PC, map, look's normal, and I can't testing this bug, by myself. So, if somebody know, how to fix it, please reply.
