MrMrBaum 8 Posted December 9, 2015 Dear friends and good evening too (MEZ :) ), Well, got in some trouble by using the addon builder to pack my addon (that´s what the title of this topic already said, yeah :rolleyes: ). So, whats the matter? - I think it´s a broken thing in Blender or ObjectBuilder ... To give you a short overview about the problem, heres the sequence I have tried to realize ... 1. Downloaded a *.stl model of an aircraft (because I´m new to 3d-modelling too) 2. Used the "Decimate" -modifier to lower the total amount of faces 3. Ticked the checkbox "Arma object properties" and left the LOD-Preset "Custom" 4. Exported the model (by using the arma-toolbox) as *.p3d 5. Opened the exported *.p3d with ObjectBuilder (just to be sure, everything worked) and press the "save"-button inside ObjectBuilder 6. Tried to pack this *.p3d with AddonBuilder -> Result: failed! The part I don´t understand is, until step 5, everything worked like a charm?! Maybe someone can help me (don´t understand the world anymore, joke ;) but it is strange ...) PS: Sorry for my englisch (tried to improve it, but it could still contain errors :D ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jackal326 1182 Posted December 9, 2015 If those are the only steps you went through, packing the addon isn't going to help you achieve anything. Hopefully you've got all of the LODs set up (memory lod, PhysX lod, geometry lod etc), a model.cfg to get those nifty flaps and dials etc working and a config.cpp so it actually shows in the editor. As to why Addon Builder is not working it could be any number of reasons (I find it a rather cumbersome tool and prefer to use Mikero's Software for PBO packing etc as its much more streamlined and, once setup correctly, easy to use). Do you get any particular error message when the packing fails? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrMrBaum 8 Posted December 10, 2015 Hi Jackal326, At first: Thank you for you very fast reply :D ! If I use Mikero´s software, I get the same error ... (it also fails to pack) Yes, I have created a config.cpp file and also the different LODs ("Custom", "Geometry", Geometry PhysX" and also a memory LOD). Exported this again as *.p3d when I start ObjectBuilder again, I even can see this LODs. While reading the error-logfile it doesn´t show any scripting error I may have produced in the config.cpp Is there a maximum file size for the *.p3d files? Maybe this produces the error ...
