Problem, Need an older version of UE VIEWER
« on: December 21, 2012, 21:30 »
Hey, I'm trying to export some models off of Alpha Protocol
I used to be able to export the models with the animations with no problem
until one of the updates to ue models, since then, the character models(only from this game) began showing as StaticMesh
Is there a place where i can download older versions of UE VIEWER?
until i can at least find the version that is compatible, with this issue fixed
cheers

What do you mean? If screenshot is enough to describe your problem - please provide it.

No. There should not be regressions in newer umodel versions, and if you have problem after update - either you'll need to set up umodel's command line in a bit different way, or that's a bug which should be fixed.

here is a pic:
a few updates ago it showed as a SkeletalMesh, with bones and everything, now its just a StaticMesh
same goes for all the characters in the game, except for the playable character, which still shows up as a SkeletalMesh
If you could fix this sometimes soon ill be grateful Smiley

Give me the upk file and show me the command line which you're using to start umodel.

Use this command line:
Code:
umodel.exe -meshes NPC_Sis_gData.upk
Package NPC_Sis_Content.upk has no character skeletal mesh inside.

thats indeed the problem im trying to solve here
it DOES have skeletal meshes, umodel stopped reading them after one of the updates
i can definately remember extracting THAT specific model and it had bones and animations
for some reason, now its just a static mesh(which seems rather impossible as it moves, jumps shoots etc in the game)

It doesn't have that skeletal mesh. Use umodel -list <package_name> if you don't trust me.
Code:
NPC_Sis_Content:
   5     4B45    DE26C SkeletalMesh Pickups_0054_Sis-Locket
   6    E2DB1    33B0E StaticMesh 38
   7   1168BF   126B60 StaticMesh NPC_Sis_new
   8   23D41F    6810E StaticMesh Sis_Locket
   9   2A552D     E4E0 StaticMesh Speedloader

NPC_Sis_gData:
 136    24A1C   10613E SkeletalMesh NPC_Sis
 137   12AB5A    2CEB8 SkeletalMesh WP_SIS_Revolver

Possible reasons of your "problem":
1. Older umodel loaded NPC_Sis_gData package together with NPC_Sis_Content and displayed that mesh - so you thought that the mesh located in NPC_Sis_Content.upk (but it isn't). Now umodel loads exactly what you specify in the command line, so to load NPC_Sis mesh you should open NPC_Sis_gData package
2. You have updated the game, and the mesh was moved by developers to another package.

im guessing its the first option since i never updated the game, what bugs me is why i didn't think of opening the other file Tongue
thanks, i got the model, and sorry for wasting your time Smiley
