Title: Too many bones in model
Post by: MegaMech43 on January 02, 2017, 07:45:21 am
I used Wraith to export the shadowman and then used export2bin.exe to import him into Asset Editor. When I compile/link my map I receieve the "Too many bones in model cannot exceed 255" error. My guess, is that I have to use Maya to somehow split the model into different pieces or something. If that is what I need to do, is anyone willing to do that for me if I send them the requires resources? Then we could release the files so that anyone has easy access to the shadowman.
I do not have Maya.

The model loaded and rendered fine while in Radiant Tools. Textures were good, etc.
In wraith I told it to export .XMODEL_EXPORT I exported the image files as .tiff
Next I used export2bin.exe. I was lazy and just copied the .exe file to the folder I was working in. I used the command "export2bin /s *" It created a .XMODEL_BIN file.
In the APE: (I was guessing and chose things that seemed like it might be the right one...) xmodel type: multiplayer body
For materials: Material Category: Character Customization Material Type: lit_cc, lit_plus_cc, lit_detail_plus_cc Image Type: Image
In the file list window I have: My .gdt with three .xmodels and related materials and images inside of it. Xmodels: shadowman_fb, shadowman_tentacles, shadowman_sphere
Maybe I'm supposed to have every xmodel in it's own .gdt? I could see that being a problem, but I only have the one model loaded in radiant.

Why are you doing this? The Shadowman model is already included in the tools.

I think the shadowman is not already in the tools. It was my understanding that anything from the DLC is not accessible without using wraith.
When I goto the 'models' window and search 'shadowman' or 'shadow' the only thing that pops up is the shadowman that I added.
It would be helpful if you could tell me where the shadowman is in your mod tools. Is it in the 'models' window? Or is there a window just for playermodels? I searched the black ops 3 directory and the only shadowman stuff that showed up was the stuff that I added. Also on another forum post I asked what needed to be done for me to have access to the shadowman. They told me to use wraith. I'm sure they would have informed me that it's already in the tools and that no extra wall headbanging or face palming was required.
Also, Finally I don't need admin permission to post anymore... whoo. And thanks to whichever admin moved this thread to modding. I had no idea if this counted as modding or mapping.

I'm not at home right now but I think if you type in zod or just zm and look through the models you'll find it. I know for a fact I've seen both the tentacle version and the human version in the models window.

Perhaps you, or someone else would be willing to send me the model? If time allows?

Ooohh the latest update. You mean that one update I didn't bother downloading... That would do it.
They released it the day I went home from college for Christmas... Home has an absolutely amazing 2.5mb/s internet connection. I transferred blops to my other hard drive. I originally thought that was steam not recognizing existing files haha.
Thanks for your help guys. I will wait impatiently for it to finish downloading. Thankfully I can still test the map with "Ignore errors" button.
