Title: how to import g3d with current blender 2.63?
Post by: titi on 31 August 2012, 19:41:24
How can I import a g3d-file with current blender? I tried to import it ( after installing the g3d_suppport.py ) but nothing happens :( .
Anyone has a hint for me?

Works fine for me. Make sure you've installed the script to the right place (I'm afraid I have no idea how linux's folder structure looks, but it's probably in a scripts folder in the installation directory or a personal directory). Also make sure that you've activated the script inside of blender's user preferences (ctrl + alt + u > Addons tab > tick the box next to "import-export G3D mesh import/export" > save the settings with ctrl + u). The G3D import option should now appear in the File > Import menu.

No it does not work ...... you must use blender 2.62 ...

I think they are currently make some kind of contest to get rid of as many importers/exporters as possible or something like this grrrrrrr >:( >:(

( am am already working on a fix and I can import the mesh now again. Still having trouble with the UV-mapping .... )

@Omega if you are online and have time ( and maybe a tiny little bit knowledge of blender ) come to the irc chat now

OK I have some thing sworking now. Here is my current result:

I think the flag "non-selectable" still does not work the way its meant. Maybe Yggdrasil can have a look for it ?

Oops, i fixed that already a month ago, but for some unknown reason i haven't pushed the commit. I did it now. It's in git master, source/glexemel/g3d_support.py or just use this link:
Code: [Select]
http://glestae.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=glestae/glestae;a=blob_plain;f=source/glexemel/g3d_support.py;hb=HEAD(Right-click 'Save As', name it g3d_support.py, in blender: File->User Preferences -> Addons -> Install Addon (bottom), pick the downloaded file, enable it)

I'm very lazy at fixing the importer as nobody seems to use it anyway.
Btw, before you ask: Animation isn't imported. You only get some shape keys.

Welcome to the world of API changes. That's not the first time nor will it be the last.

Are you sure about that? I can confirm that Yggdrasil's script works fine. When testing with Titi yesterday, I noticed that when I first updated the script, it hadn't updated correctly because somehow, it ended up with two copies of the script. Can you ensure you're using Yggdrasil's updated version?

Everything works like a charm now and MG(svn) is also ready to use it!
