Loki1950 Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 User Preferences window Addons tab at the bottom of the window Install by file if the addon comes as a zip not need to un-zip it. Enjoy the Choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki1950 Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 (edited) Yes inside blender the Edit menu at the bottom Preferences there are lots already that ship with blender this is where you activate each one individually other addons that you download are usually in zip file there is no need to un-zip them just click the 'Install form File' button navigate to where you downloaded the addon select it then click finish it is now available but you have to activate it by clicking in the little square next to it's tile.BTW all this is detailed as part of the blender documentation on there website or just click Help in blender.

It's written? Assuming unit is meter a 16x16 plane in blender is a 8x8 in game tiles. Units are about 4,2m (2.10) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Units are about 4,2m (2.10) Yes, but I believe templates don't use game tiles directly; e.g. athen_wall_long.xml has footprint 37×6 and wall length 36, and infantry has a footprint radius of 1.5 (i.e. a diameter of 3).

Stan` Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 Each game tile is divided in 16 smaller tiles see the test-foundation map so 18x18 blender 9x9 game 36*36 obstruction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when I write palisade lengths (6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36), it means (3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18) in Blender, apparently; right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay so now you should have both the files and the importer. You can now import any static model from the game into blender just find the actor, binaries/data/mods/public/art/actors/** And use the import option of blender to import it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I've just updated https://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/ArtScaleAndProportions to reflect that, I hope you don't mind. [EDIT]: For non-wall structures, are those the target sizes or the maximum sizes? Edited May 5, 2020 by Nescio question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pablinski2 Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 @Stan` I have a problem with Blender measures xd. The default cube that's always there is supossed to be 2x2x2meters. Then why this happens when I import any actor? Why suddenly it appears that the 2x2x2m that's not been modified is way smaller than an edge that's supossed to be 0.0477m?????? Measurements are driving me crazy!!! xDD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 That's because when importing actors it imports the unit they were exported in. You need to switch it back in the options. Safest way - Import inch exported mesh - Save blend file - Create new blend with meters - Append from the first blend. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. 6, 12, 18 (Blender: 3, 6, 9 m) are the short, medium, long palisade lengths I want, i.e. about a third longer than the current sizes (4.5, 9, 13.5). @wowgetoffyourcellphone requested the sizes 12, 24, 36 (Blender: 6, 12, 18 m) earlier, i.e. the short segment would then be nearly the same length as the current long segment. And 30 (Blender: 15 m) as an extra, to maintain regular intervals. The curved and straight palisades ought to get the same length as the long palisade, i.e. 3 art tiles = 6 m in Blender = 12 in simulation templates. The palisade gate should be expanded to that same length. The other palisade files can remain unchanged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
