.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

I have a model in MS...I know how to create bones...Now I need to know a list of the bones part (head, spines, hand, etc..) that MOHAA uses...

Will I be able to export later, or MS will complain?

for weapons, u just need basically 3.

origin, which is the main bone for all children bones and skins. this bone must be placed at (0,0) coordinates.

tag_barrel, a child bone of the origin. used for muzzle flashes, i.e. to place at the barrel of the gun

tag_eject, a child bone of the origin. ejects bullets out, just as the name suggests.

there's some tutorials on how to export with milkshape, but since i use lightray, i dunno about ms.

If I'm correct MS won't export bones correctly

However, though bones can be convenient, you can do without em as long as you don't need moving parts

u need bones to attach the models correctly. but ms can export as .skl, then using the sdk, convert to skd. scorpio and others have done it before

Cool, thanks.

Excellent info, mohaa_rox, about the weapons bones !

But what about a human models? I wanna know how much spines it uses, if there's bones for fingers, if the feet have 1 or 2 bones, etc..

humans bones are real complicated. for a standard player model, there are only a few, beginning with BIP. they are used to attach custom models for player models.

another type of human bones which i commonly use is the first person bones. this includes the hands which have fingers, clavicles, arms etc which i use to create new animations.

Where can i find a list w/ all the BIPs?

Txs again !

Ok, I have the model and the bones. I exported in MS, but it creates only 1 animation. Is there a way to import the animations from a mohaa model?

use the skcs

Can you be...er..more specific?

1) How can I use a skc from a different model in my model?

2) My model don't have weighted vertices. Will the skc work?

3) Do my skeleton have to fit MOHAA skeleton? As I didn't find a list of bones I must use, I took other game's list.

Thanks!

to import skcs, i suggest using lr3d. i dont think ms works for this.

u have to select the skd and import with the skc. try using the free evaluation of lr3d, but only to import, not export.
