Export .kf for Oblivion not working

[billyro]

Hi everyone.

 

I've been trying to edit the animation for the idle stance. I can make the animation fine, but I cannot export it to a .kf file without it getting corrupted.

 

I am using 3ds Max 2012 (educational version) and I am using this plugin: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/5622/?

 

I can export normal meshes for Oblivion fine (I've made a few weapons that work perfectly in-game), but I cannot make animations export properly. They always end up at 110 bytes in filesize.

 

 

 

 

The method I am using is as follows:

 

1. Import the vanilla body.

2. Import the idle.kf

3. Edit the animation

4. Export

5. Pull hair out, because the exported .kf file is corrupted.

 

 

 

How exactly do I make the file export correctly?

Might be super old and you may never read this, but this setting works for me.

 

Top: Uncheck hidden nodes and collision

CHECK: Skeleton only

 

Under MESH: Uncheck the last three

 

CHECK: Generate Strips

 

UNCHECK - Remove Extra Bones.

Thanks for replying, though I've given up on animations for now.
