[FIXED in 2.59] Blender 2.58 .map exporter broken

(1/2) > >>

Note: although this is now fixed it's not currently available in the latest stable version of Blender 2.58, so will likely appear in any updates that may be published in the coming days/weeks.

When exporting meshes using the Quake MAP (.map) AddOn, if meshes have texture images assigned to UVW maps it causes the script to error out with the following (or similar) message;


--- Code: ---Map Exporter 0.0
        writing cubes from meshes
Traceback (most recent call last):

--- End code ---

The current fix is to make sure that images are not assigned to UVW maps - meshes can have materials and UVW maps, they just can't have images associated with those.

Map export is an AddOn. To enable click "File > User Preferences" then "Import/Export"

This exporter is junk :) There is another one, for 2.49b.. Very advanced. Can export simultaneously into .map and .ase (you have to mark what's going to be brush and what misc_model), exports some basic entities and all that good stuff. Sad that no one ported it to 2.5x

Yeah that's the one the model2map tutorial covers. I was in the middle of updating that when 2.58 was released and news of the exporter inclusion was mentioned. I've not looked at the internals for this new script, all I did was exported some brushwork to see if it worked!. Looks like I'll need to convert the entity helper kit to work properly with 2.49 so it's available for use.

What are you doing to export to ASE with this btw? Just naming a mesh objects name dataID as "misc_model" or some such? I tried it with a couple of "Empty" objects but they don't work.

motorsep:
no, I am talking about this one:  http://forums.xonotic.org/showthread.php?tid=326

Oh right, not seen that one... too many script versions to keep track off I'm afraid ;) Looks like it's not been updated for some time based on the posts. And yep reading the topic info, it's only ever really going to be relatively generic as an exporter; because the .map format is used by so many games now you can only really include basic entity markers as most of them have their own specific sets, something the author hints at with his posts.
