Its surely achievable but highly specific and weird. What do you mean by base psoe? Just literally setting all srt to 0 for one frame?

The "base pose" in this case is the pose that is exported by the editor if you delete all the frames out of an animation and export the model at that. Think of it as the "standardization" that the original artists most likely rigged to.

Are you sure that's what you are asking for? Deleting all keyframes and exporting yields all 0s and T-Pose. I guess I'm confused how that would help, you could easily do that in Blender just nullify all the srt?

This is a Blender workaround at the end of the day. Ok - lets go!

When importing any rigged FBX out of the editor into Blender the base position for everything is a jumbled mess at world zero, seemingly "because" (I got a good and long-winded explanation from the guy who programmed the Better FBX Importer/Exporter and can post it here if it helps).

So the difference between the "T Pose" and the world zero problem is that one at least has things kind of where they should be and the other just has everything at world zero. This does, however, point out that I've been using the wrong words here

Can we have a checkbox to make the first (or last) frame of the exported animation the T Pose (or "base pose" might be more fitting) for the exported asset out of Perfect Dark to work around the limitations in Blender?

It still feels like there is a way better way in Blender, as this doesn't make sense...but...

OK updated beta to add a Reset Frame button (the current frame). The easiest way then is to add a keyframe at frame 0 in editor so there is one extra at beginning, go back to keyframe 0, reset frame, export to FBX.

[MRKane]

And just like that I can attach a hand with the weapon models that animates and positions correctly! This, of course, begs for a tutorial, but likewise means that I've now got to decide if I shift the development of Dark Noon back into Perfect Dark...

Thank you so much - this was what I needed about a year ago!

I noticed on the GE side that the model editor and model details tab don't allow the full range of explosion entries. The ammo tab shows 0x14 valid explosion types, but the model combolists only go up to 0xF. Was there something wrong with setting a model to an explosion type past 0x10? I remember it being fine, but that was a decade ago, I admit.

I've got another stupid feature request, it's something I've sort of noticed as I've been back on the PD warpath. When saving a project you've always got to select the rom that's used as the base. When it comes up with the select rom panel, could you add another field under "Open/Cancel" that's just for using the default rom in preferences?

I know this is another stupid little addition thing but it'd save me a lot of folder navigation as I'm a compulsive saver while doing anything (old habits die hard!)

I always kind of thought the last 5 were bogus? They don't even have names. Are they even valid? I put it back, just not sure are legit.

That's the idea behind quick-save project. I think you press Shift-F6? It immediately resaves without prompt to the last project you saved in that session.

Appreciate it. I remember they definitely had names in much older versions of the editor; you can see a few remnants of the old names in the PD side of things. Mmmm, which now that I mention it, could you modify the string of PD's 0x11 explosion entry? The (infinite explosions) quirk of that slot only applies to GE.

I didn't know that! I swear most of the things I ask for are already there, I'm just unaware of them. I've actually started to use the extra save/inject/export rooms options that you've added, and it'd mostly be handy for those operations. I guess the most extensive use of this for me would be which texturePrefs.txt file to use and having that as a "use last one" option too. I'm busy importing props and level geometries so I'm doing that a lot too - although I sometimes wonder if I'm about the only person who uses the editor that way.

I'm trying to import some Perfect Dark levels into Blender and I'm wondering how I might export them from the Setup Editor. Would I use the convert tab under the Visual Editor? I have already installed the FBX SDK and coped libfbxsdk.dll to the editor directory.

This isn't a help thread so please make a new thread next time. (EDIT This is wrong so please ignore it)

To answer, open your level, switch to Edit Room Positions mode, right click any triangle in the level, Export Full Level. FBX should exist under the type dropdown if you have done the necessary setup for support.

They actually did, but posted in here afterward. I removed the other thread. Plenty of people have asked for help in here, hehe.

Woops, then I am sorry. I genuinely thought it was specifically for requests. I'll score that out.
