SCS Blender Tools 2.4.1 (v8) (unofficial update)

[Michaleczeq]

You can't leave it intact, because it's not supported by the current material format (used by the plugin), and it will not be possible to convert such a model to the game.

@Michaleczeq
I ended up doing the whole thing in Z-Modeler3, which allowed me to adjust the road widths to the required 1:1 scale; however, you can't create prefabs with Z-Modeler3 because it doesn't support the .sii files needed for traffic rules.
That’s why I was hoping you would adapt the Blender tools for that purpose.

When I select a shader preset, nothing happens and this error appears

Code: Select all

Hello @Michaleczeq

Could you perhaps help me figure out why Blender is crashing during export here?

[Michaleczeq]

If you trying to export prefabs, please download "development" version from git.
This error is probably caused by incorrectly updating one function for Blender 5.0 (fixed in that dev branch)

[HN TruckTuning]

And where can I find the developer version?
I only found the official version 8.1 from you.

I've just spent the best part of two days on this, and now I get this error again. What's causing this?

https://ibb.co/zVcBgbr2

Version number says: 2.4.aeadde03.8.1 is that right?

What are my options here? Push comes to shove I'll redo it, as that fixed the other model I was working on but it's not ideal.

edit: from reading the lines it's something to do with the piko flavour and exporting. Thing is I'm not using piko anywhere.

edit2: I've just remembered there's parts of the trailer with no material applied, I'm gonna assume that's the cause. Woops.

[Michaleczeq]

You have somewhere (or completely not have) material without any SCS shader selected.
1. Find it and set proper SCS shader for it.
2. Download development version from above where it is fixed.
