Re: GTA5: Animation files (YCD)

If I get it right, you can create a "lasting" events on [tags] track by setting an event number on an event. A positive number to indicate a start of the event and the matching negative number to set the end of the event. Literally: "Lasting tag is determined by availability of closi...

Re: GTA5: Animation files (YCD)

I have been doing some research to figure out how to add custom animation events to be used with the HAS_ANIM_EVENT_FIRED native in scripts. Per the native documentation, it says: Some events are instantaneous (so this will only return true once). Others may have duration, which means that this func...

License expired early

I activated a 90 day license on September 9, which should be active through December 8. However today zmodeler3 is asking me to revalidate my license, and my profile shows the license is expired with 0 days left. I did not deactivate/transfer the license at any point. Why was it terminated two days ...

Re: Animation tool resets position of objects when rearranging node hierarchy

It might be related to animation properties. It has an option "Relative to bind" and "World tracks". The first one makes animation tracks to record relative changes (relative to bind position) when it's on and absolute position/rotation when it's off. The second option is probab...

Animation tool resets position of objects when rearranging node hierarchy

When creating an animation, even if it only affects animation , moving any animated item in the hierarchy causes its position to be reset to have the same offset relative to the new parent dummy as the it had relative to the old parent dummy, instead of updating the position relative to the new pare...

Re: Rotation affects LODs inconsistently, especially with Undo

It looks like the issue is with update after undo/redo on compound objects. The object is not messed actually when you undo, just switch to vertices mode and back to object mode, you will see everything is actually fine. The compound object seems not to update properly its build-in nodes when undo ...

Rotation affects LODs inconsistently, especially with Undo

If you use the rotate tool on object level with an object with LODs, it sometimes affects only the selected LOD, and sometimes affects other LODs. When you click undo, it always only applies the undo on the currently visible LOD. As a result, it is very easy to mess up a model when using the rotate ...

Missing cloth shaders

None of the cloth shaders appear under the shader selection menu in the material editor, they can only be used by importing manually.

Furthermore, props with shader cloth_normal_spec_tnt cannot be exported. This shader is available on props like prop_skid_tent_01.yft.

Can't rotate viewport using Alt+Middle Click

I haven't opened zmodeler in a while, and now I can no longer rotate 3D or Perspective viewports by holding Alt + Middle Click. My middle click works (I can still pan) and my alt key works (I can press Ctrl+Alt+Del), but zmod won't recognize them to rotate.

This still happens intermittently. How is the "Show" button supposed to work? Could you add a "show all" button for poly/vertex mode which always just shows everything regardless of selection status?

Re: Report Import/Export bugs here

You should save your work as .z3d file, do not rely on re-importing your models. If you have downloaded some mod from the web, it might happen the file is corrupt and will not get loaded. ZModeler should be able to import original game models and .yft files created by ZModeler with no updates. In p...

Can't post in general discussion forum

When I go to the General Discussion forum the "New Topic" button is not there. In every other forum the button is there. Why can't I post to that forum?

It looks like it might be because I am not a member of the ZM3 users group, but I have an active license.

"Show" not working on hidden vertices/polygons

I've noticed that sometimes the Show button on the Display tab does not work if I have hidden vertices or polygons. I enter vertex or polygon mode on the part with the hidden polys/vertices, and hitting Show does not do anything, regardless of what is selected.

It appears that importing two models, a _hi.yft model and a regular .yft model, at the same time, with "split to parts" unchecked and "combine with existing models" checked, can result in L0 getting messed up. I'm not exactly sure what is wrong with it, but vertices are in the wr...

Re: GTA5: Cloth-simulated meshes

Oleg, do you have any idea which parameter (if any) might control how far the cloth can stretch? I've noticed that with very large cloth pieces, they will bend very far, and it seems to bend the same amount regardless of any options which I apply. Perhaps it's related also to the number of polygons?
