TL;DR: around the lines 200 in main.py object_location_dict[ok] only has one key in the example, that key is "0", what does that stand for and what are "first" and "last" supposed to be?

[22:44] max12345 I don't think i can do this without comments or some help with the structuring
[22:44] max12345 the thing I'm stuck at right now is that it's looping through some location keys
[22:45] max12345 they are sorted by coordinate then by number they by datakey data pairs
[22:45] max12345 but I have no idea what the number stands for
[22:46] max12345 and they somehow need it for "first" and "last" variables
[22:46] max12345 but there is only 1 entry for the number
[22:46] max12345 so it'd be the same for the example case

[22:46] max12345 yes that's fine, I already changed that, I'm stuck somewhere else.
[22:47] max12345 this is almost making me resub
[22:47] max12345 :D
[22:48] max12345 he should hop on irc :D

[22:49] max12345 idk but he's pretty cool releasing these tools at all imo

[22:55] max12345 I'm sure these are issues he can solve much faster though

:)))))

I'm having some trouble getting this to work myself.



Part of the problem is that xrange() is a Python 2.x built-in and I don't think is defined in 3.x. However, xrange() in 2.x has the same functionality as range() in 3.x. I'm not sure what the story is here.

Also:

I notice that if you use demo.yaml as your scene name, and you by mistake name your yaml file something else (like in my case demo.yaml.txt), it appears to find a demo.yaml that's in the shared cache. You apparently MUST use the extension ".yaml" and not ".yml" or anything else, and then it'll find the file correctly. The shared cache demo.yaml shows the Caldari battleships with default Caldari faction and the example from the docs uses the Guristas faction markings.

The capture did not work for me either also tried various folders etc... Also has anyone figured out how to place a structure? I tried a few stations with no luck. I have it narrowed down to the DNA and tried to use the graphic_type.yaml that has been floating around on the thread with no luck.

CCP, can you say what is happening here?

The crash is happening when the last line of the last keyframe of the first keyframe sequence is parsed.

Curve file 'example.red': http://www.pasteall.org/56584

This is the .red file that results when I run the original 'example.blend' file included in the dae-to-red documentation through a Blender script I had to make to get custom animations to not crash dae-to-red (it doesn't like keyframes that don't key on all curve channels).

Yeah they are definitely set to Euler in maya :( I think its an issue with the DAE_FBX export, will poke around and find a different plugin

No, it still looks like I'm having issues...

To test, I opened the example maya file, exported with opencollada using the same flags as the example.dae, seems to work fine.

I then try and convert the dae file using the pre-compiled script, it does not error in the script, but the resulting .red file simply contains "type: EveSpaceScene", and that's all.

here is my example.dae file before attempting to convert it to a .red https://www.dropbox.com/s/6tyvjl2mmscbywk/example.dae?dl=0

I thought it was working earlier as I was not getting an error on conversion, but in reality I was getting empty converted files :(

Also just trying to play around exporting a camera move, getting the following error when using the dae to red converter: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=egvD3uNa

edit: I guess camera animation paths are only supported from the gr2 files anyway. I have a camera animation in maya already to scale, what would be the easiest way of getting that into a gr2 file for probe to load?

Would it be possible to get probe to load the movement path of any object in the dae/red export as the camera path?

eg I parent dummy geo to the camera, name it 'camera_path", bake it out to keys, export it from maya with my ship movements, so I have a two ship paths and a camera position/rotation path, and have probe use that?

eg - [set_camera_animation, 'res:/curves/scene2_objects.red', camera_path]

I'm wondering if its possible to change the BG color from black to something else (like green) when rendering a scene without a nebula.

I've pulled your latest revision and it actually makes the animation more jerky. I'm testing it using the example animation after it has been re-baked and re-sampled in Blender. Those poor drones were convulsing!
