[Tool] Titan Quest addon for Blender 2.8
« on: 17 November 2019, 21:22:14 »
Trying to learn blender and python programming so here is my first steps on a Blender addon for Titan Quest. So far it can import some meshes (.msh) from the game and sometimes it even manage to export them again  ::). If you use blender and have any suggestions of what to add next for TQ modding let me know.

If you test it be aware i'm a Blender noob so best to unload the plugin when you are not using it so it does not mess up any other things for you  :).

Thank you for this. I'm also a noob in Blender (i use it only for re-sculpting) but the program is great. I'll test the addon and give you some impressions.

It looks like you use 2.79. You need to upgrade to 2.80 to try the add-on as many things have change since the last version.

It worked for me. Do you plan to add support for bones/animations in the future? That would be great.

Yes there will be bones and animation support. Aim to support all the max plugin does.

Alright, after I updated, I could enable the add-on. Then I tried some .msh files only to find out that I get another error now.

Here's what the console returns :

Spoiler for Hiden:

Edit : Nevermind, the access path was the issue. kill me pls

Now I'm at the step of exporting a mesh and I get an error (which probably is reponsible for another error when I create the asset in the AM.)

To export something one object need to be selected in blender. I add some code to check so it does not crash if nothing is selected :).

Okay... slowly but steadily I'm getting there. Now I have an error when I export it to a .msh, however building it in the ArtManager doesn't return a warning anymore. In-game, it appears invisible, so it has to do with the textures or the UVs, I don't know.

New version now, use the same link to get version 1.2. Next up i will do the import of the bones and hitboxes after that improve the exporter.

  • Can now load .tex files, well some of them. Unpack the arc files to a folder and set it as the unpack folder in the settings for the plugin to use.
  • Better selection of textures in shader settings.

Think you have a unsupported shader. Most often from importing an existing mesh and exportingit again. I modifed the export code a bit to see if it works. I'll add more shaders when doing the export next.

Now, I updated and found the menu and gave a proper mesh (standardskinned IIRC), then exported it, built its asset in the AM, but it stills appear invisible in-game. Now I tried to see if I could open it with MeshViewer, but get this error :



Now I don't see what I could be doing wrong...
