[SOLVED] Conversion tool Help needed

#1 Post by KiziCat » 25 Oct 2021 12:27

hello,
I have a problem while using Pack Mod function.
so first, I have imported a sideskirt_bar from official SCS volvo vnl files, i have added slots to it and i want to export it as a mod, when i do that i get a following error message:

Code: Select all

00:00:01.461 : [linked_bt_af6326b717a406a82957ea72fb0958a5aabf87b7] pit2pmc /vehicle/truck/volvo_vnl/truck.pic 
00:00:01.466 : <ERROR> errwarn:
00:00:01.493 : <ERROR> *** ERROR *** : <C:/Users/username/Downloads/conversion_tools_2_12/linked_bt_af6326b717a406a82957ea72fb0958a5aabf87b7 | >/vehicle/truck/volvo_vnl/truck.pic: Unable to find PIT material 'convex' for piece 0. Collision meshes must use materials that are assigned to exported (!) visual geometry!
also attached full log file.

I am not expirienced with blender so i would really appreciete if someone could point me to what is cusing this issue and how to fix it.

Thanks in advance.

I'm not too well versed in Blender either, the basics I can manage. Going by a post from 50keda here: viewtopic.php?t=250987

If I were going to add more slots to a sidebar, personally, I would use Zmodeler. It's easier (for me at least) to do it that way. It has a 14 day free trial IIRC.

1. How are you importing this? It looks like you are selecting the truck as a whole and not just that specific sidebar.

Edit: I may have read the log wrong, it just looks like a reference to the chassis, chrome parts etc.

This is how I import models to work with. This is ConverterPIX Wrapper (Check your addons in Blender to see if it's installed.) This is the only way I do it so other import options may be available.

2. Check if the model has any collision applied to it.

In Blender, press "N" to bring up the Sidebar and click "SCS Tools" tab. From there click where my cursor is, if the model disappears it does not have collision.

Thank you for responding.
I did use ConverterPIX Wrapper and I imported only this one part from the dlc_volvo_vnl.scs
and this is how checking for collisions went:
before check
before check
after
after
does not show anything there but i still have the error.

SOLVED!
I left junk files in project directory, by now i am not sure if i copied them there or were they exported by the ConverterPIX Wrapper because i left mess in folder structure.
Important lesson, Check your folder structure 7 times XD
