but if i try to save it I get the above error. I have assigned bone weighting to them, assigned materials, etc. like pikes and spontoons for naval crews, but now I am trying to take that further and bring in my weapons from the NTW mesh that i have made. I was able to get some of the unused equipment to show up in NTW. Referring to the first post, the use of the Direct Mesh Tools in MS3D, I have no idea how to use this tool or what it can do to eliminate my issue I am having with multiple weights assigned to vertices. I have gone through my euro_equipment and found no duplicate weights assigned to vertices. the reason I am posting a question here is that i am having the "extra vertex issue". export (save as) your new equipment file as.name your new model according to naming convention.rework vertex weights assignment for your new model.import your NTW model (bagback, etc.) in MilkShape using "import" menu.export euro_equipment.variant_weighted_mesh file to.Milkhape truncate model names longer then 32 characters (if I'm not mistaking)ĭue to this issue (MilkShape is an old software now), you will have to correct name using UU3D, a process that can be quite boring.each equipment model is linked to only one bone (skin model / vertex weights).What you need to know about equipment files STEP 2 : Importing a new equipment in ETW equipment file obj, you will loose NTW skeleton and vertex weights assignment, but it's not a big issue as skinning model is quite simple for equipments. ms3d, you will keep NTW skeleton and vertex weights assignment. objĪs ETW and NTW don't use the same skeleton, you will have to reassign vertex weights and remove NTW skeleton when merging the exported bagback with ETW equipments. Importing NTW equipment file into MilkShape.
Using Ultimate Unwrap 3D with its ETW pluginĮxporting NTW equipment model using VPM for MilkShape :.Using VPM (Variant Part Mesh) plugin for MilkShape.Process is similar to what I explained in " Importing ETW model to NTW" Reworking ETW equipment file is a bit more tricky than working on unit models.įirst of all, contrary to NTW, ETW doesn't optimize equipment models, eg., ETW equipments models only use the equivalent of lod0 when NTW use an equivalent of lod0/lod1/lod3/lod4.
