Modding the Models?

[seiseki]

I wanted to try and change the player model, but I can't figure out what format the mesh is in and how to convert it into something that blender can work with..

I did find an XML to .OBJ converter, but it didn't work..

I believe it's an Ogre3d XML mesh? If so, they have a converter plug in.

Omni Get in here and correct me!

I was able to find this.

Thanks!
I found this export/import script originally intended for Torchlight, I can't get it to work though.. I even downloaded an older version of blender.

Gonna try using the OgreXMLconverter..

Meep! Sorry for vanishing there!

Indeed. The exporter being used is OgreMax. There is a free version, but it cannot export nearly the number of animations needed for the player model. (Limitation of six if I recall correctly.) It does, however, export to the Ogre format as easily accessible XML files, after which definitions in the animation files can theoretically be spliced together manually. Not sure about the legality of doing so, but it should be technically possible. (I'm only speaking of theory, not making a statement in support of such actions.)

If you can figure out the basic necessary components, you'll probably find the model system to be surprisingly forgiving. There IS some hard coding regarding tilt of the arms and head, however. (Looking up and down for the head, aiming for the arms.) Something to keep in mind. Beyond that, you could do all sorts of crazy things.

I will enlight you a bit, because I see the formats and I know the free converters for this.
Has all to be compiled by yourself! Thats the way of the developers.

Watch the Requirements! Its good when you had 3ds max 2011 at hand.
Ogre 3Ds Scene Exporter (*.SCENE)
Easy Ogre Exporter (*.SKELETON)
Ogre 3Ds 2 Mesh (*.MESH)

Happy Try & Error!

Given current engine capabilities and editing options:
1) Is it possible to add new gear model into the game (meta-item)
2) Is it possible to add new useable meta-item
3) Is it possible to add new animation played when player holds/uses this added meta-item.

A necro so strong that there's still an Omni.

Omni Hi, I've little question about the scene file that you produce with OgreMax, what's the unit type? I know that you can have meters, inches,... but I don't figure what is '/10' units

 

[Reilly Reese]

Omni hasn't been around for a VERY long time buddy.

Well i think i'll do more research about this, thanks Thadius Faran
