Assimilate Giving "_humanoid.gla" Error

[Noxrepere]

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I followed Psykosith's tutorial and I set up everything the way I believe it's supposed to be and when I take my newly exported .XSI and try to run Assimilate, I end up with a problem.

When I click on "Add Files" and choose the JA "_humanoid.gla" it gives back an error message saying that the .gla cannot be found.

I'm pretty much out of ideas since I've already tried doing it 15 times.

Please help if you have any ideas. It's probably something easy that I overlooked.

I'm not sure this is THE solution, but, make sure the path of the folder the gla is in does not have spaces.

d:/gamedata/base/models/players/humanoid/humanoid.gla
good

d:/program files/lucas arts/....
bad

I extracted most of the assets files in a shallow path much like the first path I gave you and I work out of there. Carcass does not seem to like really long path names either.

[Noxrepere]

Okay, I took your advice and put the "_humanoid.gla" in a folder directory without spaces and then it loaded the gla.

Thank you very much!

Now, however, when I click on B and tell it to compile, I give it the name of "model.car" and then get this error:

Process returned error: 1

( c:\games\modelcompiling\carcass.exe -silent C:\Games\ModelCompiling\model.car")

Again if anyone knows what that means (I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere) I would appreciate the help.

First model is being a pain!

Nevermind. I finally figured it out!

I used this tutorial by MacD for anyone that is interested.

It is an addendum to Spacemonkey's tutorial. It has a good section on using Assimilate.

It's been around for a while, I just never knew about it. It seems out of place on the site, since it's not in the section with the rest of the tutorials.

It seems odd that there's so little documentation for this program seeing as it's so integral to getting models in game.


I also found PsykoSith's tutorials very, very helpful in giving more detail to integral parts of the process.

PyskoSith's Site

Oh well.

Thanks for your advice ksk h2o, it really helped point me in the right direction.

Yeas those two are what got my first models into JO... but still leave you to figure some stuff out to yourself.

Np, you've given me some very helpful pointers yourself

All of the tags and caps have to be skinned, also you might not have some tags or some bones.

Wow, first time i've ever seen these error codes... Maybe if i see the max file i can tell you whats wrong.

By the way, you should build your GLM using the standard "model.glm" name.

[-]Holoman[-]

Ok I´ll test it.
When it doesn´t work, I´ll be post the .max file... but then I must revise the file .. ... ...

Thx in advance for your help.

[-]Holoman[-]

*again on me make attentive*

So I´ve test it .. nothing change...
Give me plz youre Mail, where I must send the .max file ...
Thx to you

I've had the same error as I used his root.xsi

Strange... because when I export his *.max-file by myself, I just get the usual errors (like weight not found etc.)

[Psyk0Sith]

Maybe he's not using the export plugin v3.0 or somthin?.
