No animation after export [solved]

I know the export looked alright, but the animation is not there anymore.

When i import my wipers back into blender, it appears as it never had animation. Meanwhile, i can import SCS's animations just fine.

How do you import it back? With .pim importer or with .scs importer? Just tried your .blend file, exported pim, pia, pis, pit files and then imported them back with .pim importer - animation is there and everything seems to be fine. But when I ran conversion tools and then imported the model back with .scs importer (converter_pix), the animation failed to load with following message:

Code: Select all

**      (c)2014 SCS Software      **
************************************

converter_pix worked fine and wipers.pia is there so I tried to directly import .pia file from the "SCS Object Specials" panel of the Object tab of Armature object. This gave me more info:

As you can see your .pia animation file after being converted from pma to pia with converter_pix has wrong skeleton file path: "/wipers.pis" - should be "wipers.pis" in this case. This seems to be an issue when you export your model/animation/skeleton to the root directory of your mod. Try exporting it to a subfolder instead, like "/vehicle/truck/yourtruck/interior" and also clear SCS Skeleton export path so that the .pis file is exported to the same folder as your model file. I tried that with your animation and was able to import it back with .scs importer (converter_pix) with no issues.

All this time, that's what it was. I've now set default path to a sub folder, as well as the skeleton path. The animation works in-game. The dope sheet now even has those lines between the dots, after import

Thanks, everyone

How do you import it back?

so far, i only used the .scs import.

May I ask how you import animations? I use ConverterPIX-master to convert .pmx into .pix but I don't get any animation files, no .pia.

TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable

A subscriptable object is any object that implements the __getitem__ special method (think lists, dictionaries). It is an object that records the operations done to it and it can store them as a "script" which can be replayed. You are trying to subscript an object which you think is a list or dict, but actually is None. NoneType is the type of the None object which represents a lack of value, for example, a function that does not explicitly return a value will return None. 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable is the one thrown by python when you use the square bracket notation object[key] where an object doesn't define the __getitem__ method . You might have noticed that the method sort() that only modify the list have no return value printed – they return the default None. This is a design principle for all mutable data structures in Python.
