New Border Customs Officer Animation not working.

Hi Oleg,

in the Z-Mod the animation runs without problem but in the game the animation does not work and the figures look like this.

may you send me original model files (.pmd + .pmg) and an animation file(s) please? My game being unpacked does not have "customs" folder inside "model\mover\characters\new_generation\animations".


Edit: ouch... found .pma files inside "new" sub folder. But where the associated pmg/pmd models?

Ok. There was an update in animation files import/export. They are exported in version 5, while these character animations are version 4. Is your game updated to latest version? the recent game update uses PMA files version 5.

Oleg, I don't know that, but the PMAs are from SCS Stand 1.44.

And I took the Russian border police officer as a basis.

Just give him a new skin for the safety waistcoat.

And as I said, in the Z-Mod he moves with the SCS animation without problems, but not in the game and he is not recognised in the map editor. But in the game it is then displayed in a strange white.

do you edit .pmd/.pmg model only? or you import/export .pma file too?

Animation files contain a hash value that is (most likely) evaluated on hierarchy of model file. Unfortunately, I don't know how they calculate it, so ZModeler exports animations with no hash value. The game allows animation to be applied to a model if hash matches (assuming the animation was created for the specified geometry model/scene), or when no hash is inside .pma file (ZModeler's re-export scenario).

I either need to know the hash is evaluated or re-saving all .pma files is the only option we have for animations now. :(

Yes, and then the figures from SCS no longer work, which is a pity. That's why you have to create a separate folder for the animation you create yourself and also new sii files for the animation and the 3D model.

does vehicle's interior animation suffer the same issue? I mean, if you import anim.pmd model and export with no changes - all native animations (pma) are no longer working?
