haha the tutorial's written in filipino..made by kula_wende! so unless you're not a filipino you cant understand that..but you can search this forum for squeeble's tutorial..
 
i'm trying to get part of my barret model into the game, and when im in pcreator and i import the uvw, it says the # of uv coords dont match the models # of verts... ne help you could offer?

Polaris when the time comes could you try to get the Red XIII model i have made into the game? You seem to be a pro at it, because that looks great!

Thx for the inspiration  :-D

wow if that is true your very welcome!
 
okay 'm moving a little further ahead and need some help for sticking my model ingame. I have barrets head workin in pcreator, save it as a battle file. do i just name it sbao and compile the archive? what exactly am i supposed to do now? how do i link the model to the texture?
 
You can name the head with the name that you want. Be sure that you put the PCreator Options->Texture file(s) checked. If you put Edit>TextureId to 0, that mean that Barret's head texture will be 'sbaC', 1 is 'sbaD', 2 'sbaE' ... 10 'sbaL'. Once you save the head, Pcreator will generate a .tex file of your texture (if you load it Ctrl+B and is is 256 colors). Then, check  options>Battle model and go to File>Open Battle.HRC. Select Barret skeleton (sbaa) and set nº of textures to 10. Now, in kimera, you can replace the original Head with yours, and scale and move to fit with the rest of the model ^^
I hope that this was what you wanted
 
i didnt really end up using kimera... i open sbaa in biturn and it looks fine with my head. when i compiled the lgp and ran the game it was the old model tho o.o
 
There are a lot of Barret Models, deppending the weapon, i think
Try replaing SCAA, SDAA, SEAA heads too

thanks that helped... its in game now, but its strange.

it seems like all the normals are flipped. the hair looks more er less right, but that may be the angle showing the inside of his hair. I flipped the normals, remade the file it still did the same thing.

what leads me to think it isnt a problem with the normals is that you see though most of the head, whereas if it were because of the normals, you would see the far side.

any suggestions?
 
did you flip the polygons in PCreator???
I know you have to select the object.. then choose the edit tab.. flip polys.
 
i flipped them in blender.

the first run through it looked fine in pcreator, secondtime it was inverted, and you'd see the inside of the model. both times acheived the same effect ingame.
 
I don't really know.
I never converted a model before.
I just know the relative theory...

Sorry.
 
sounds to me maybe you have a hidden vert that needs to be removed check ur model fully in wire frame and see if you have any abscured vortexes and remove them.  Should help you get your texture on.
 
nah the textures on its just... partly invisible

EDIT:
here's a pic to show you guys whats going on

Did you flip the uv on the y axis in pcreator? without access to the file that's my best guess. Can you see the whole head textured correctly in pcreator.
 
check the barret thread for the final result :D

however what the problem turnd out being was that i still had the old texture files in the lgp, except for the changed sbac? dunno the one i used for my texutre :P fixed it on each version of barret n voila!
