But nobby. Do you really want to pass up the useful advice rebel guys can give you? Like "Don't forget to reload Dr. Freeman". No one is considerate like those buggers.

One of them actually does, yeah. Got a whole lot of concepts lying around for stuff that I think would fit great in the game and is missing at the moment.

Oh really? I'd love lend a hand and ease the asset-creation process. :)

Thanks for the offer FatCat, that's cool. I have no idea what's possible at the moment though and how far along any kind of mapping support is, I only read stuff from flummery change logs here and there that mentioned maps.

It really depends on what you're after.

Right now you could: Make a map in Blender, import into Flummery and get it into the game. This would take you about 5 clicks in Flummery.

You could then hand-craft a pedfile.xml for ped spawns, edit the materials by hand to do fancier things like water and so on.

Custom accessories are a little trickier, as is powerup placement but these aren't massive developments and if someone was wanting them then they'd increase in priority.

Errol

No big deal but if you have it try that junkyard map.

Some of the textures are really bright green depending on the direction of the light. No big deal but just in case its Flummery . Cause it happens on walls and on road surfaces. About 3 percent of the textures.

Yes, it all takes place in the text files. Flummery outputs default settings (Eagle's) and you adjust them afterward.

Some progress on this:

Nice tool, however, let me ask if there is some type of tutorial on how to get a car into this game? I have the car, I had to up-size it about 250% from the original eagle (dunno why) exported it using Flummery, add it into the game using Minge, I see it using the CarMODgeddon load, but when I drive it, it just isn't there like it falls through the floor or something of that nature. I see other people have put things in, I just would like a step by step on exactly what to do.

I know.. I ask for a lot.

Can that, just found it.

This is what I did in under a half an hour. This is awesome Errol!

There was one weird artifact in the middle of the driver's face.

I know I need to poke around some more and read up on previous posts.
But here's some observations, not complaints :wink:
I didn't have an engine sound.
Can the 'chrome' bits be made env mapped reflective?
And what about 2-sided textures?
The Iron Cross decals on helmet lost alpha.

Anyway, that was really easy to get a C2 car into the game quickly. (thanks to Razor's tute)
I'd like to learn how to add thumbnails for Minge.

EDIT - I presume I should rename the ZAD to ZIP and look at the contents and edit the TXT files therein??

Red Baron looks fantastic and really fits C:R, even in that basic form.

Three out of five of your complaints observations :ssmile: are because Flummery just generates the most basic of materials. This will be addressed in the next version as best I can.

Not sure why you're not getting an engine sound or what happened with that weird poly in her face. I'll look into those issues and see if I can get some fixes in place.

And as Razor said, it looks fantastic even with Flummery monging up almost everything.

I took a look at Tosh's resistance config and was able to add an engine sound.
Also swapped out the wheels to use the Annihilator's but he rear wheels now don't touch the ground. :lol:

I'll probably open up the original ACT up in PT2 to see if the driver's face looks odd there too. Might also add some smoothing groups and then re-convert it.

Wait for Flummery .6 ..! The odd face and lack of SGs are probably the same issue. Flummery doesn't set proper normals at the moment, I was able to work around that problem by also exporting to FBX from MAX via Blender and swapping the model in Flummery.
About the wheels you can tweak that by opening your C:R vehicle in Flummery, changing the scale of Wheel_RR and Wheel_RL (children of respective Hubs) and saving your scene (via "Save For", not Save As, nor the C2>CR process as it's all already done).

And yes, it DOES look fantastic in there!

I scaled the rear wheels up a bit and did a "Save For" but that didn't generate a new ZAD. Is there another step I need to do?

EDIT: Hold on, I think I know what to do. Why is it lately after I post a question and hit Submit, an answer pops into my head? :oops:

EDIT 2: Fixed!

Looks more bad-ass with the bigger rear wheels!

You're right, it looks very badass.

What was the solution to your issue? Were you just not looking in the right place or brain-fart or some such?

Ya, I forgot I could just rename the ZAD to ZIP and extract everything, add the files with a modified time stamp, rezip and rename to zad. So, yes brain-fart!

Of course then I learned I could use Minge to do the ZAD packing and now it's a snap. :beer:

I'm making the whole zad thing a little more streamlined in future versions but yeah, for now you can either manually update or use minge to repack the whole lot.

I get this error when I try to import an fbx model I made in blender, "Unsupported World Transformation Matrix pYpZnX" What does that mean? Seems any and all fbx models create this error message. I'm curious as to whether or not this is caused by something in blender or something in flummery. Any way to fix this?

You have to choose a different axis for top and front etc when exporting from Blender in the export config tab for fbx. Whatever you chose now (or is set by default) is not supported in Flummery so try something else.

You shouldn't need to remake the model, just use those settings when exporting. If you'd like, upload the .blend somewhere and drop me a PM with the link and I can take a look.

Just a note that v0.3.7.5 packages .ZAD files with .IMG textures. You'll need to manually rename the .ZAD to .ZIP when running the latest patch for C:R.

I'll get a new Flummery version out as soon as possible so this manual fix is no longer necessary.

I had a bunch of objects in the BeerWagon that weren't named very well i.e Mesh01, etc. I've gone back and renamed a bunch. What's the best way to get the Structure.xml regenerated? If I do "Save For" the paperwork isn't updated. Should I do a "Save As" again instead? Or delete Structure.xml and do "Save For"?

Delete the previously generated structure.xml as Flummery will not overwrite files that are already in a folder, and make sure you are doing it as "Save For"

I deleted Structure.xml and did a "Save For" and but Structure.xml did not get regenerated.

So I retrieved my old one from the Recycle bin so I didn't lose it.

Delete the structure.xml, Save as Vehicle to the same folder again, it'll regenerate anything that is missing.
