SandMouseAnarchy Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 im using max 2014, and HCT 2014.1.0-ru. im trying to export a hkx with data for my custom ragdoll bones, but when i export there is no "_DATA_" section in the xml. does anyone know why this is? it doesnt seem to matter what i tick in the prune types filter in hct, every time the file contains no data section. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii601/sandmouseanarchy/2_Ready%20for%20expot_zpszd7tpiik.jpghttp://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii601/sandmouseanarchy/1_Bones%20connected%20to%20skel_zpsnmltsudd.jpg I created a chain of 3 max bones, and created a "hub and rb chain" using hct autopilot tools. deleted the max bones, linked the nub hirarchy to the RHand bone on the vanilla skeleton. and clicked "ready all RB to export". http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii601/sandmouseanarchy/3_create%20skel_zps2t3xqsz9.jpg I created the skeleton... following the skyrim hdt ragdoll hair tutrorials on youtube - the tutorial says only to add the hub bones not the ragdoll capsules, so here i have only marked the actual bones.i have also tried experimenting by building the skeleton from shade animators F4AK human3rd rig.txt and my own custom rig.txt, but i havent had any success either way... http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii601/sandmouseanarchy/4_rigid%20bodies_zpsdmir2eag.jpgicreated rigid bodies...http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii601/sandmouseanarchy/5_constraints_zpsci9aku3u.jpgcreated constraints... http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii601/sandmouseanarchy/6_Ragdol_zps2bbkmw9x.jpgccreated ragdoll...http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii601/sandmouseanarchy/7_prune_zps5fszcexi.jpgaadded "prune types" i have experimented with ticking each box individually and ticking them all like the tutorial shows, but nothing here seems to make a difference...http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii601/sandmouseanarchy/8_write%20to%20platform_zpscfhezgms.jpgwrote to platform - making sure to remove meta data like in the tutorials... this is the xml that came from max... as you can see there is no "_DATA_" section and the layout does not match any other vanilla hkx... and when i complile the xml to hkx using hkxpack i get an error saying that the hkx contains no "_DATA_"... if anyone would be kind enough to check over my work and see where ive gone wrong i would really appreciate it :)this is a copy of the max file im working on at the moment: http://www.filedropper.com/skelexample and this is the skyrim hair tutorial ive been trying to make work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuiUEvwf6Sg&t=3263s can anyone help or point me in the right direction?with so little documentation out there im really flying blind on this one.

SandMouseAnarchy Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 Update* I can't seem to recreate a vanilla hkx from hct. And I think it might be the hct version I'm using (1.0) I think the 0.5 version did allow me to export a full hkx, but 0.5 is not compatible with hkxpack, and copy/pasting the header lines from a vanilla hkx doesn't correct the version issue... I'll do more testing later, I'll reinstall an earlier version of hct and see if there's a difference...But if I can export with 0.5 it'll do no good because I have read that fallout can only work with 1.0, so unless there is a 0.5 -> 1.0 hkx converter out there (I've looked, and there isn't) then I'm stuck exporting empty hkx files with no way to proceed. I was told about a workaround by Vader6666 - where bones from the new hkx can be copied into a vanilla hkx - but that won't work for nifs and outfits that don't have a vanilla hkx obviously, and if I can't nail this export procedure then I won't have any bones to copy from anywhere... Does anyone know how to export ragdoll bones in a hkx?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
