Problem with importing own character
Hi!

I have a very weird problem which I have been trying to resolve entire last week. I have imported main character for my game into esenthel editor. There, everything looks good.

Every bone is named just like in this article: http://www.esenthel.com/wiki/index.php?title=Skeleton

Also both of the two imported animations(stand.anim & run.anim) looks good:

(I know that run animation is weird - it is because it's not completed yet)

But when I start my game or try to play my world in Editor, my character is not standing right:

Running animation is good, but when he's idle he looks like this.

Can you please help me with that? What do I have to do to make this character working?

If you will need any additional information to help me i will provide it ASAP. smile

Hello,

The world editor uses default animations which are not compatible with your model.
you need to do programming and setup your own animations.

I have replaced default animations in directory "Data/Anim" with my own.

(In game it looks the same.)

Did you also change any code in your own custom exe build?

Code in my own exe is taken from tutorials.

Screens which I have uploaded and inserted in the first post have been taken in Editor.

I have changed "stand.anim" to "stand2.anim" and now working... Weird...

It's playing right animation, but when I am looking around myself character moves his legs weird.

Here is a video:



(Notice how his legs are moving.)

RE: Problem with importing own character
this is related to Game::Chr dynamically rotating some bones to make the character look up/down.
details available in the Esenthel C++ Game Object Sources in Esenthel Store.

I know it is related to it, but i think it shouldn't work that way. Default esenthel characters legs are not moving while character is moving his head up and down.

transforming a bone transforms its children as well
it means that your bones must be a child of the bones that are being transformed

RE: Problem with importing own character
I've checked your model and this is the case which I posted you in message above
I recommend getting EE C++ game object classes sources from the store, and seeing how the Game.Chr class does the bone animation.
