Thank you, I somehow fixed it by replacing some of the code!

Okay, so this is a more "recent" change.

Let's take some materials as examples


<material>player_trans.xml</material>
<material>player_trans_spec.xml</material>
<material>player_trans_parallax_spec.xml</material>
<material>player_trans_ao_parallax_spec.xml</material>

First one just needs a diffuse texture. ex:


<texture file="skeletal/kart_cjv_e_1.dds" name="baseTex"/>

Second needs diffuse and spec. ex:


<texture file="skeletal/kart_cjv_e_1.dds" name="baseTex"/>
<texture file="skeletal/kart_cjv_e_1_spec.dds" name="specTex"/>

Third needs diffuse and spec and a normal (parallax) map


<texture file="skeletal/kart_cjv_e_1.dds" name="baseTex"/>
<texture file="skeletal/kart_cjv_e_1_spec.dds" name="specTex"/>
<texture file="skeletal/kart_cjv_e_1_norm.dds" name="normTex"/>

Last one needs an ao map on top of that. ex:


<texture file="skeletal/kart_cjv_e_1.dds" name="baseTex"/>
<texture file="skeletal/kart_cjv_e_1_spec.dds" name="specTex"/>
<texture file="skeletal/kart_cjv_e_1_norm.dds" name="normTex"/>
<texture file="skeletal/kart_cjv_e_1_ao.dds" name="aoTex"/>

I did try it that way, but now the editor just crashes and says:

(error while formatting error message)

There is no other error message.

Yeah just like this example you can have no props.

I see, sorry for being this late in replying, I have encountered another error though:

<!DOCTYPE html> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>Pyrogenesis Log</title> <style>body { background: #eee; color: black; font-family: sans-serif; } p { background: white; margin: 3px 0 3px 0; } .error { color: red; } .warning { color: blue; }</style> <h2>0 A.D. (0.0.22) Main log (warnings and errors only)</h2> <p class="error">ERROR: Actor gaul_test_building: required texture sampler aoTex not found (material art/materials/player_trans_ao_parallax_spec.xml)</p>

I guess it has something to do with textures and materials, im just not quite sure what?

For actors:


binaries/data/mods/public/art/actors/structures/{civ}/building_name.xml

For prop actors:


binaries/data/mods/public/art/actors/props/structures/{civ}/building_name_propname.xml

For meshes


binaries/data/mods/public/art/meshes/structural/{civ}/building_name.dae

For mesh props


binaries/data/mods/public/art/meshes/props/structures/{civ}/building_name.dae

Though currently it's a complete mess and is in the following folder.


binaries/data/mods/public/art/meshes/props/{civ}_building_name.dae

For textures for main buildings


binaries/data/mods/public/art/textures/skins/structural/{civ}_struct.png

What if I do not have any prop actors etc. and just the bulding itself, can I just ignore all the prop actor code in the actual actor file or do I have to delete them? 5a7230c5da0ea_notepad_2018-01-31_22-09-24.png.0fad0a555de593de37bdccabdf5c9154.png 5a7230dd83519_notepad_2018-01-31_22-09-47.png.abea68874556976b43119aa9bd68f440.png 5a7230f7cf288_notepad_2018-01-31_22-10-01.png.a571e00479c35449acb35da0aaeb55e8.png

Hello, it's me once again!

Would you mind walking me through importing custom buildings into the game?

What I mean is basically, what directories the files need to be in, and the necessary code if possible.

I would really appreciate it!

January 28, 2018

Thank you, it finally worked! You can only see it from one side of the camera angle but I can probably fix that in blender.

If you could let me know what exactly you changed in the code for it to work, that would be great.

Thank you again and I will let you know if I need help with anything else if that is okay!

January 28, 2018

It's still not working, but the error message has changed, it now says this in the crashlog:

crash_log.txt

And this is what it says in the Editor:

000000000000.png.e39389f750d6455b24c0349f1616e8b8.png

January 28, 2018

Ah okay, well this is what is say in the XML file:

Discord_2018-01-28_22-59-13.png.38d0ab2a0a8addc99bf7e89e0bb3fd88.png

This is the directory for the XML file:

c455e4beef23ac6af08d2e771581e028.png.bf1faf5165218e1eed42088e53b40c32.png

This is the directory for the DAE file:

5e312919697a089e5d1bfcc0a8053f2a.png.59b60e338d70c0b59481bb7cb1bef282.png

And this is the directory for the DDS file:

2afbe68564374bac2a027f69504bb906.png.67357c5930dcc387599ecdbfeeb92d5e.png

This is every file, I hope you can tell me what's wrong with it.

January 28, 2018

hmm, is there any rule on how to name the different props like swords for example, because if I try to put the sword into the game, with the directories you told me, I get this error message:

<!DOCTYPE html> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>Pyrogenesis Log</title> <style>body { background: #eee; color: black; font-family: sans-serif; } p { background: white; margin: 3px 0 3px 0; } .error { color: red; } .warning { color: blue; }</style> <h2>0 A.D. (0.0.22) Main log (warnings and errors only)</h2> <p class="error">ERROR: Could not load mesh 'art/meshes/props/spartan_test.dae'</p> <p class="error">ERROR: CObjectEntry::BuildVariation(): Model art/meshes/props/spartan_test.dae failed to load</p> <p class="error">ERROR: Could not load mesh 'art/meshes/props/spartan_test.dae'</p> <p class="error">ERROR: CObjectEntry::BuildVariation(): Model art/meshes/props/spartan_test.dae failed to load</p> <p class="error">ERROR: Could not load mesh 'art/meshes/props/spartan_test.dae'</p> <p class="error">ERROR: CObjectEntry::BuildVariation(): Model art/meshes/props/spartan_test.dae failed to load</p> <p class="error">ERROR: Could not load mesh 'art/meshes/props/spartan_test.dae'</p> <p class="error">ERROR: CObjectEntry::BuildVariation(): Model art/meshes/props/spartan_test.dae failed to load</p>

And this is what I see in the editor:

Also, for a sword it uses a .dds texture file, but for the shield it needed a .png, is there a reason for that?

January 28, 2018

Oh, so I just create a weapon folder in the exact folder as the shield one?

And if yes, does that apply to structures, helmets and armour aswell?

Sorry im asking that much, im just trying to make a mod and have troubles finding the right directories.

January 28, 2018

Thank you, the shield loaded into the game now.

But where would I put a sword .dae since there is no folder that says weapons?

Can you be more specific than "It did not work" ?

Can you upload the actor file here ?

Also note you will only be able to see the shield in the editor by switching to actors(all)

I can't upload the file, but I uploaded screenshots of the error message and the file

January 27, 2018

First of all thank you very much for the quick reply.

I tried creating the actor file and all that comes with it, with the help of the basic 3D implementation guide, but it didn't work since I do not know what to type in exactly because only a crate was used in that example.

If you could tell me what to type in the code to make the shield work, or link me to a thread where that is explained, I would be very thankful.

January 27, 2018

I created a custom shield using blender and I am wondering how I can import said shield into my custom mod folder.

What do I need to save the file as and what is the location I need to save it to?
