Is it possible to export multiple pmd?

Post by LeynerN31 »

Days ago I read something about multiple export.
Not if it has to do with the same
but I would like to know if it is possible to export different pmd at the same time, in this case I have
the pmd truck
pmd rack and pmd mudflap
I want to export them at the same time
or that when exporting only one of them is exported. and then the next

"Multiple files export" is exactly for this purpose. The only drawback is that you can export to the same folder only. For example, if you have several upgrades that you want to be exported into different folders, multiple files export will not do this trick.

HI, would need help. I try multiple export and I get an error when I try RE-import. Geometry mode file '' '' not found - missing *.pmg in the folder.? Its like files are exported empty with no structure under. Why is that so?

Export settings:

How RE-import looks like: its empty of geometry - missing *.pmg in the folder.

Are there any specific settings combination to make it work?

I would appreciate any advice how to make it work. Obviously manual one by one export works fine. Its just mind-numbing to copy paste and click each one. And got a lots of stuff to export. Thanks

What happens if you toggle off "Default variants" ?

LMAO, found the *.pmg files in the root folder today morning?? Hmm. didn't see it yesterday, was tunnel visioned.

Was totally expecting to be in one folder together with the *.pmd. maybe a bug?

I've played around today and if I want to generate the *.pmg(s) I have to export only *.pmd(s) first, then export the same *.pmd(s) again and overwrite the existing files, and when *.bak(s) are generated the *.pmg(s) get generated too.

I found *.pmg(s) in: ....root/vehicle/lowloader OR ..../root, but should be in: ....root/vehicle/lowloader/accessories/cylinder. SO had to move them manually there. They work in game.

Seems like I have to have ''Default variants'' ON

I will test this in few days. probably a bug as this doesn't look like a proper export behavior.

Fixed. Get an update. Multiple files will get exported into specified folder: .pmd, .pmg, (.pmc and prefab .pdd if available).
