Not really vertices without any weights, but with boneindices like (10,255,255,255). I'm not sure if the weights for all the 255 are zero so it might try to add the vertex to a nonexisting bone along with the bone #10, unless Noesis treats 255 as nobone as well? But I'll make it loop over the data f...

I'll try that, though I need to seriously rewrite the script before I can do anything like that.
Thanks.

Then I have a look in how to import more than 1 mesh and make sure the torso goes in first.

How would I go about adding multi .msh file monsters? For instance the automai has a body and a head. Both have a bone named "Bone_Neck01". How do I make these play nice? As far as I can tell the Position info for the bone is the same, but the bone in the head.msh is "parented" t...

is rapi.rpgSetBoneMap able to hold 2 lists and how do I make the vertices pick the correct list? In other words how do I put the info in the following image into a bonemap? http://i.minus.com/iwJ6UhEUpUzDz.png What is the index for "nobone" for noesis rpgBindBoneIndexBufferOfs? In the .msh...

Ok so I corrected all the boneindices for the weights and turned it back into bytes using struct.pack then called rapi.rpgBindBoneIndexBufferOfs(weightIdx, noesis.RPGEODATA_UBYTE, 4, 0, 4) rapi.rpgBindBoneWeightBufferOfs(self.vertBuff, noesis.RPGEODATA_FLOAT, self.vertLength, self.boneWeightOffset, ...

Not yet, both the .tex and .msh files are 1 big pile of unorganized code atm

I did get the triangles after rapi.constructmodel with Triangles = mdl.meshes[0].indices though, instead of the raw triangles.

Means I can calculate all the triangles myself as well, Noesis gives me Tri 3065(5421,5422,5423)

Edit: okies that worked so far.

I have a mesh with 2 drawcalls 1) 3041 faces, 27 bones 2) 323 faces, 7bones My importer errors out when trying to parse vertex 5422 (and others following it) vertex 5422 belongs to face 3065 which means the second drawcall. vertex 5422's boneindices are (0,12,4,255) and weights(0.84,0.12,0.04,0) So ...

Well, that makes sense I guess.

http://i.minus.com/iRKnBU657UeOf.png I have a question about applying textures on models when importing. I followed the tutorial written by in the tutorial section and used the following code: for i in range(numParam): texLength.append(self.inFile.readUInt()) texMat.append(self.read_string(texLengt...

So if I get it right I need to parse the drawcalls. For each drawcall I need to know which triangles it uses and for each triangle which vertices it uses. These vertices then belong to the current drawcall and the current drawcall's bonelist? I need then need to use the boneindex listed in the verte...

Would it be alright for me to adjust the current NoeBones' indexes (using NoeBone.index) to match the index in the drawcall? I parented them via bonenames and not indexes.
Or would this be asking for disasters to happen.

Tamschi, I'm having trouble understanding the function you sent to get the vertex weight, especially with the info about shaders. Couldn't I just get the vertex weight out of the vertex data?
