I'm having problems getting Mender and Animer to convert characters from the FPSC character Pack 4 to Reloaded.

I purchased and used these (Animer and Mender) successfully last summer, but now I'm experiencing the same Animer program crashes I had early on. Are there any updates for Animer and Mender, and if so where can I download them? I have a copy of Mender 2.0 Beta, as well as 1.5.

Mender appears to work, but when I set the save frames to "0 and 1", and then load the character into Animer, the original 2,400+ frames of the original animation are still attached to the character model (??) Using the 1.5 Mender and following to the letter the process, Animer completes the conversion but then the character disappears and the program crashes. Using the file from Mender 2 beta, the program crashes when I attempt to convert to the reloaded animations????

Any help or direction would be appreciated.

Last official updates: Animer 2.2 and Mender 2.0

Mender 2.0 you can find here:

http://www.thegamecreators.com/?m=view_product&id=2316

Animer 2.2 you should have in your TGC account - My Products.



If you set the save frames to "0 and 1", after entering a value press ENTER key.



I have the FPSC character Pack 4, if you will have problems with any character let me know.



Some characters need to use also MView:

Use MView and Mender before loading the file into Animer.

I also found that the skeleton of Masked Soldier was changed in version 1.009 of FPSCR.
if you import FPSCR animations to FPSC Model Packs characters, you have to use 'Masked Soldier.X' file from 1.0085 or earlier version of FPSCR!

Happy to report that with the addition of MView, and making sure I got the step by step right, I converted the Female Clerk from FPSC pack 4 into reloaded.

I also checked some of the animations and they are working correctly..

Is there a manual for MViewer? Not sure what other things it does, and would like to learn.

Thanks

MView is from DirectX 9 SDK.
I never found a manual for it, just open and save .x files to fix bugs.
If someone finds a manual, let me know.

Hi, I'm Back and with an issue LOL. All the Classic Characters I got to work in Reloaded v.7 using Animer

not just stand ther doing nothing? with v.9 whats the fix Rafhalzer any ideas.

@Super Clark,

If you got to work the Classic Characters in Reloaded v.7, these characters will work in the current version of Reloaded.
'.x' files are O.K. - you don't need to change them.
You should only adapt '.fpe' files to the current version of

Yep, I figured it out I swopped all info and sorted. Thanks anyways Rafhalzer

Just installed the latest Beta and found that all the Characters From Classic FPSC I converted with mender
2.1 all have a God mode, i.e you can not kill them no matter what you do even swopping setting in fpe
does nothing. any ideas what can be the issue Rafhalzer matey?

@Super Clark,

Copy .fpe file of Masked Soldier from last version of Reloaded and adjust it to your classic character.
It works for me.

Hi, matey I have swopped the FPE File to Reloaded's v1.9 of Masked Soldier and same
thing, they can only be killed with rocket launcher nothing else, And you have to be
a long way, away to get a chance to get them as the Ai is also making them very
keen to kill yeh......

See the Fpe Attached

Hi matey,

This is very strange, because I don't have problems with killing them.
Your .fpe file is O.K.
Please, publish the video so I can see how you're trying to kill them, and send me 'AIKO Master File.X' - I'll try it on my computer.

Ok matey. Done... Video Below and you have Mail.

Thanks matey for a file and video!

If your .x file is a binary, convert it to txt - for example in MView.
Open .x file in a text editor (I use PSPad).
Find a Frame with a mesh, in Aiko it's a 'Frame Body01'.
Frame Body01 has a Transform Matrix:
FrameTransformMatrix {
0.343084,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,
0.000000,0.343084,0.000000,0.000000,
0.000000,0.000000,0.343084,0.000000,
40.275757,42.018650,-0.800831,1.000000;;
}
For latest version of Reloaded it should look like this:
1.000000,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,
0.000000,1.000000,0.000000,0.000000,
0.000000,0.000000,1.000000,0.000000,
0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,1.000000;;
Change it and you're done.

Yep that did the trick matey .... Big Thanks you are a
