[DONE] Grimrock Model Tookit

LOL. I totally forgot I did those lanterns

Shh, just pretend they're extra special content made especially for the modding community

Oh, yeah... So... you're welcome community!

I also found the wall_fountain.model
I turned it into an alcove since it doesn't make water. =D

Code: Select all

defineObject{
	name = "wall_fountain",
	class = "Alcove",
	anchorPos = vec(0, 1.0, -0.2),
	targetPos = vec(0, 1.0, -0.2),
	targetSize = vec(0.3, 0.3, 0.3),
	model = "assets/models/env/wall_fountain.fbx",
	placement = "wall",
	replacesWall = false,
	editorIcon = 92,
}

Yup, and these your models (lantern, funtain) still contains some strange nodes like Cube, Camera and Directional Light
(use blender for modeling?)

Modo puts a camera and a directional light in to the scenes by default (they can of course be deleted though).

Back from a couple of awesome days at the Eurogamer Expo playing Halo 4, Hitman Absolution and Gears of War Judgement. Have made some tweaks to GMT this morning that should fix a bunch of issues with importing/exporting custom models through the OBJ format. There were issues loading normals and texture coordinates that should be resolved now. Main changes in version 0.1.0.6 include:

• UV coordinates are flipped so textures applied to the OBJ file should just work (as long as they are converted to DDS format with MipMaps).
• There were problems importing/exporting normals which I believe to be resolved now.
• All debug information is written to console.log in the same folder that the application exists. This is deleted whenever the app restarts. While it will have a minor impact on performance, it should help me debug any crashing errors much easier. If you have any problems, please send this file (or it's contents) to me!
• Added an about box with a link to this post and the download page.
• This build really should add auto-updating through ClickOnce, so when 0.1.0.7 comes out, it should download automagically.

As per usual, here is a screenshot. Table and Mace were both downloaded from TurboSquid, although both needed some crazy manual editing of the transform matrix (but you could scale and rotate it in Blender). Just downloaded a random wood texture from the internet for the table. When exporting OBJ files from Blender, it's wise to tick the 'Export Normals' - Blender will do a better job of generating normals from the model than my shoddy averaging code.

that looks great, can't wait to use stuff like this in dungeons, have some truly new and unique items and furniture

Works like a charm!

Here is my WIP-shop alcove.

SpoilerShow

As I am using the old Dungeon Master shop keeper as a placeholder until I find a better and free alternative, here is what I did:

1)
Open "assets/model/env/dungeon_wall_alcove.model" with the Model Tool Kit.

2)
Replace the "brick_ceiling01" material (that's the back of the alcove) with "alcove_shop_keeper".

3)
Save the model as "YOURMOD/mod_assets/model/env/dungeon_wall_shop.model".

4)
Add a new objekt in your mod's "objects.lua".

Code: Select all

cloneObject{
   name = "dungeon_shop",
   baseObject = "dungeon_alcove",
   model = "mod_assets/models/env/dungeon_wall_shop.fbx",
}

5)
Define a new material in your "materials.lua".

Code: Select all

defineMaterial{
	name = "alcove_shop_keeper",
	diffuseMap = "mod_assets/textures/env/alcove_shop_keeper_dif.tga",
	specularMap = "mod_assets/textures/env/alcove_shop_keeper_spec.tga",
	normalMap = "mod_assets/textures/env/alcove_shop_keeper_normal.tga",
	doubleSided = false,
	lighting = true,
	alphaTest = false,
	blendMode = "Opaque",
	textureAddressMode = "Wrap",
	glossiness = 20,
	depthBias = 0,
}

6)
Copy the following existing textures

• dungeon_ceiling_dif.dds
  dungeon_ceiling_normal.dds
  dungeon_ceiling_spec.dds

into your "YOURMOD/mod_assets/textures/env" folder and rename them as:

• alcove_shop_keeper_dif.dds
  alcove_shop_keeper_normal.dds
  alcove_shop_keeper_spec.dds

7)
Edit the new textures to your liking. Be aware that the alcove is displayed upside down and the only displayed part is the rectangle in the middle. If you use Paint.net, be sure to save the texture as "DXT5 interpolated alpha" and check both the mipmaps and the alpha box at the bottom of the screen.

This time it didn't throw an error but I couldn't see my imported .obj. No idea what I'm doing wrong.

It says "No file loaded" in the bottom left corner.

@komag: Yeah, from what I've seen already on the forums, I can't wait to play some of the mods we start seeing at some point!

@djoldgames: Haha, that's a great idea - and it looks awesome the way he's just sitting there behind the alcove. I know it's unlikely, but it would be awesome if Almost Human added a dialog box option to the Lua scripting, where you could define up to X buttons and have them feedback to the Lua function. Then you could have a simple but full on shop!

@Tomm: Hmm, a couple of suggestions.

1. Are you using the latest version of Blender and when you export to OBJ, I would expect the best results to come if you have ticked at least: Include Edges, Include Normals, Include UVs, Triangulate Faces in the Export panel.

2. When you have imported the model, if you go to "Tools -> Edit Node Transform Dialog" do you see any nodes? It might be that your model is just bigger than the viewport, and as the polygons will only render from outside - if the camera is essentially stuck inside the model - you will not see anything at all. However, the nodes "RootNode" and "MainObject" should appear in the Model Node dropdown. If you do see those, try changing the matrix for MainObject to...

Code: Select all

0.1   0     0     0
0      0.1  0     0
0      0     0.1  0

Which will scale the model down.

3. If those fail, then there is still something strange going on with the import code. Do you have a console.log file in the folder into which you installed the Model Toolkit? If so, it would be great if you could send that over to me with the OBJ file that causes it to crash!

Edit: It will actually say "No file loaded" if you open a new document and click "Import OBJ". I guess I should be more explicit - that message at the bottom refers to the last .model file you opened. I'll tweak that to make it more logical in a future version!
