Author | Topic: HELP! (problem with Lara's ponytail)
Lara's Soul Member Posts: 68 From:Athens, Greece Registered: Dec 2001 | posted 12-24-2001 05:16 PM I want to use Lara's hat from TRChronicles Submarine levels to my outfit. I can't retexture TR5 meshes, so I export the head mesh and import it to a normal TR4 outfit. But when I play the level the ponytail is in wrong position! The starting position is more up&left then the ponytail turns and continues rightly down. I'm using Strpix 3,7. Please help! ------------------ Maybe Lara Croft havn't a soul becuse she is an avatar (=cyber people). But her soul is in the souls of the people how belive in her.

Lara's Soul Member Posts: 68 From:Athens, Greece Registered: Dec 2001 | posted 12-25-2001 03:39 AM I make this and it works OK for mesh 31 (Lara's head). But when I try to do the same thing for mesh 47 (Lara's head while she's firing), the strpix 3,7 finds error or the level chases in lodding. What need I to do? ------------------ Maybe Lara Croft havn't a soul becuse she is an avatar (=cyber people). But her soul is in the souls of the people how belive in her.

Yes, but when I try to put the "firing head's" ponytail in the right position (as I did with normal head) and then run the level converter says me an error and closes. ------------------ Maybe Lara Croft havn't a soul becuse she is an avatar (=cyber people).

Tomb_Raider_Nut Member Posts: 590 From:Millwaukee,Wi,USA Registered: Jun 2001 | posted 12-25-2001 07:39 AM Oh, i just remembered somthing. sometimes i find that the new strpix's will corupt files if new meshes are added. so download an older strpix (i have an old one on my site) and open up your outfit wad with all the changes, and save it in the old strpix. ------------------ Site just Updated!

Lara's Soul Member Posts: 68 From:Athens, Greece Registered: Dec 2001 | posted 12-25-2001 07:53 AM My problem is with Lara's ponytail. I have fix it in her normal head. But when Lara fires her ponytail goes to the wrong position of the picture. That's becuse I can't do the fix process in the "firing head" and if I do it PC Level Converter closes with error.

Turbo_Pascal Member Posts: 53 From: Registered: Dec 2000 | posted 12-25-2001 08:05 AM I guess that your are trying to remap the vertex in the secound head using the vertex index found in the first one, found again the original vertex in thew original secound head and remap again the head. For avoid strpix3 corrupt custom wads alway use the most recent version found at: http://www.geocities.com/cyber_delphi/ If the WAD is already corrupted you will jave to start again from a clean WAD. good luck tp IP: Logged
Tomb_Raider_Nut Member Posts: 590 From:Millwaukee,Wi,USA Registered: Jun 2001 | posted 12-25-2001 08:10 AM turbo i find that using strpix 3.6 corrupts any imported meshes but i save the file anyway; open it in strpix 3.4 and save it, and volla! it works. (although i don't know if strpix 3.7 will do the same as 3.6., because i haven't tried it yet.) IP: Logged

Lara's Soul Member Posts: 68 From:Athens, Greece Registered: Dec 2001 | posted 12-26-2001 03:43 AM Tomb_Raider_Nut you had right. Some meshes which don't work with strpix 3.7, work if you save them with strpix 3.4. But my problem remains. The wad don't works if I fix the ponytail's position 2 times. No works if I save it with strpix 3.7 and don't works if I save it with strpix 3.4. Here is a picture of my problem: IP: Logged

Lara's Soul Member Posts: 68 From:Athens, Greece Registered: Dec 2001 | posted 12-26-2001 06:27 PM Can you tell me exactly what and with which line you do it? Have you retexture the meshes? I have retexture them. IP: Logged

I have retexture them. They were textured when you sent them to me. quote: Originally posted by Lara's Soul: Can you tell me exactly what and with which line you do it? First, start out with a fresh wad. (open in strpix3.7) now, write down the vortexs of the head and neck of the non firing head. got to the firing head and check out the vortexs. although they should be the same, it's best to check. now import your desired head mesh for the non firing, and fix it with vortexs and textures. now do the same with the firing wad. save it and enter strpix3.4 (keep both open) open up the wad and save it. (you don't have to make any changes) make a small test room and out put wad. it should work. IP: Logged
Lara's Soul Member Posts: 68 From:Athens, Greece Registered: Dec 2001 | posted 12-26-2001 07:24 PM Don't works for me. PC Level Converter says me an error. But there is a simple soloution. Send me the fixed wad! larassoul@yahoo.gr IP: Logged

Tomb_Raider_Nut Member Posts: 590 From:Millwaukee,Wi,USA Registered: Jun 2001 | posted 12-28-2001 10:03 AM the only problem with sending the wad that i had it work with, is that it was one with a custom outfit and stuff for me new level. i'll try working hard to get it to you. ther reason i didn't send you anything is that i was having troubles with a wad; one without all the custom stuff. hopefully, you will have the wad by 9:00 central time.
