Odd export error.

[Yamcakes]

I'm new to Blender, I've been working with it for several days now. I've been doing a lot of editting of vertices. I've exported several editted vanilla objects successfully. I open up something new altogether with the same settings, and I get this error upon export. Google didn't help me. What are I do wrong? :c

"value out of range" Seems kinda vague. Can you post the blend file on MediaFire or some such host and let us check it out directly?

[Nadimos]

Maybe you can cut the mesh and put it back together in nifskope. Dont know why, but it did work for me. Edited January 22, 2011 by Nadimos

Hate to revive such a dated thread but has this problem been solved? I got the same common.py line 180 reference along with that pesky ValueError: value out of range while trying to weigh an outfit for BBB. I'm posting a link to the .blend file if anyone wants to verify this failing or perhaps get it to export. Thanks in advance for any helpful replies.

[Ghogiel]

probably not it, but could it be that there is an unweighed vertex or 2 in there, I forget the actual error that you get if that is the case, so it's probably not it, but there is a way to select any unweighed vertices, again I forget what you press to do that. I'm rusty at blender usage.

[rastagansta]

After taking a quickie look at the vertex groups, that indeed seems to be my issue. Thanks for the pointer Ghogiel. I'll maybe leave a post if I'm able to export it after fixing those vertices.

[Quetzlsacatanango]

The blender nif script tells you explicitly if there are unweighted vertices, or vertices not assigned a body part.

[LHammonds]

The blender nif script tells you explicitly if there are unweighted vertices, or vertices not assigned a body part.

That's what I thought as well. Not only tell you but also highlight / select which verts are not weighted. However, I have only seen it do that whenever I had just a single object with a problem. It may be slightly different if you have multiple objects that require additional rigging. Or maybe they verts are rigged but reference armatures that do not exist (such as a different skeleton)

[Quetzlsacatanango]

I've had plenty like that and it tells me a different one each time I try to export :)

I have also come across this problem, although I found my solution. I had to try a few things first. First I realized I had the wrong skeleton and then I found export settings to be incorrect as well. My mesh had no meat caps for dismemberment but the option was selected under the fallout 3 export settings. Removing that solved it.
