thank you,

A question, is it possible to get the traits? There is an add and a has function, but is there any work around to find the traits?

Code: Select all

Champion:hasTrait(string)
ItemComponent:hasTrait(string)

Question - Can someone please explain to me the point of the 'cloneObject' add-on when you can just define an object from a base one?

defineObject with a baseObject:
- effectively appends the contents of the new components table to the baseObject's components table, so components with new names will be added and components with already-used names will completely overwrite the old ones
- merges the tags table if present
- copies the rest of the fields from the baseObject; if new values are specified for those fields, they overwrite the old ones

JKos's cloneObject addon does all of the above, plus, if the new object specifies a component with the same name as a baseObject component, it inherits the fields from the baseObject component. So this code:

Code: Select all

defineObject{
  name = "cactus",
  placement = "floor",
  components = {
    {
      class = "Model",
      model = "mod_assets/cactus.fbx",
      staticShadow = true,
    }
  }
  editorIcon = 100,
}

defineObject{
  name = "big_cactus",
  baseObject = "cactus",
  components = {
    {
      class = "Model",
      model = "mod_assets/big_cactus.fbx",
    }
  }
}

results in a big_cactus object without staticShadow on its ModelComponent. However, this:

Code: Select all

cloneObject{
  name = "big_cactus",
  baseObject = "cactus",
  components = {
    {
      class = "Model",
      model = "mod_assets/big_cactus.fbx",
    }
  }
}

would result in a big_cactus object with staticShadow, since cloneObject tries to inherit component properties and defineObject does not.

Do you mean a list of all traits possessed by a champion or item?

Traits can be user defined, but here is the list of the official seen in the game: https://github.com/JKos/log2doc/wiki/Traits

yes, at the moment I have a work around but having a getTraits or a way to access the traits would be good.

maybe there is a .traits I am missing

I'm not sure if this is a simple question. I'm passing the .model file into GMT 2, out to .obj, into 3DSMax, and back out to .obj, into GMT, and out to .model.
Obviously the problem here is that I'm missing the skeleton.

Is there a way I can open the .model file directly with either 3DS or Blender which will preserve the rigging/node structure?
If not, is there a way I can retrieve mesh and skeleton separately and merge the two?
Or is the only option to animate from scratch when doing any model modification?
Does GrimFBX work for LoG2?

Regardless of if I can pull the LoG skeletons, I still need a way to get that information to .model, which, I'm uncertain of if the Blender plugin can do that given the way it imports. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. My current thinking is to build entirely from scratch in 3DS, out to .fbx, and hope there's a working method to convert that smoothly into .model; since the game uses .fbx internally. At very least I could then pull the mesh from .obj and just re-rig and animate it.

[Isaac]

You need Blender version 2.71, 2.72, or 2.73, and Bitcopy's Grimrock import/export script. GMT is an LoG1 tool; it knows the model format, but does not know the animation format for LoG2.


viewtopic.php?f=22&t=8086

With these installed, you can import and export models and animations [rigging] for both games.

[sleepy]

thank you. I was using the recent build of Blender. That's probably why the positioning was so off on everything.

EDIT: time to start learning Blender.

Question - can we recreate Attack Swipes ??
I know all the Attack Swipe models are in the asset pack, using "swipe01" material.
...and also that we can set new materials/textures etc etc
Just wondering if we can actually override / replicate / mimic the Attack Swipes ??
Ta!
