I've been trying to extract the "HMM_CB_SalQuar_RifleEvade_CB_EvadeLeft" from the MP Quarian engineer pcc file, but I keep getting an error saying unsupported type AnimSequence. Are there certain kinds of animations that umodel won't export, or is the animation only referenced in that package, but exists some place else?

It looks like you're using "-noanim" option.

Or probably you've specified AnimSequence name in the command line - you should not do that, you should specify AnimSet name instead (AnimSequence is nothing without AnimSet).

Here's what I used:

umodel.exe -export -all Quarian_Engineer_MP.pcc
and I also tried

umodel.exe -export -all -3rdparty Quarian_Engineer_MP.pcc

Then it gives me this in the log:

Forced export (Quarian_Engineer_MP): AnimSequence'BIOG_HMM_CB_A.HMM_CB_SalQuar_RifleEvade_CB_EvadeLeft'
Loading AnimSequence HMM_CB_SalQuar_RifleEvade_CB_EvadeLeft from package Quarian_Engineer_MP.pcc
Forced export (Quarian_Engineer_MP): BioAnimSetData'BIOG_HMM_CB_A.HMM_CB_SalQuar_RifleEvade_BioAnimSetData'

However, once I check the folder that the files are exported to, it's not there, as with other animations as well.

AnimSequence objects are always embedded into one of the AnimSets.

Ah, so it's animset "HMM_CB_SalQuar_RifleEvade" must be located somewhere else then. The only animsets that are extracted are: HMM_BC_Melee_Engineer, HMM_CB_PistolAuto_AlternateFast, HMM_CB_PistolMelee, HMM_CB_RifleAuto_FastAlternate, HMM_DG_Flinches, WPN_ASL_Main, and WPN_PST_Main.

Back to the hay stack.

If you're having problems finding the AnimSet holding particular sequence you could use the following command:
Code:
umodel -dump -nomesh -notex -nostat <package_name>
this would load all animations from the package and dump its information to the log. You should watch the log and find the name of your sequence there, after that you'll find an AnimSet without problems.

OK, so after sorting through the dump I find this: m_pBioAnimSetData = BioAnimSetData'BIOG_HMM_CB_A.HMM_CB_SalQuar_RifleEvade_BioAnimSetData'

So the file I'm looking for is "HMM_CB_SalQuar_RifleEvade.psa", and it's not in quarian_engineer_mp.pcc. There's wouldn't be a way to find out which package it's located in without going through each one at a time, would there?

It's too abstract conversation ... Post your pcc file for me, I'll take a look.

Hey thanks. Here's the pcc file.

It appears like "HMM_CB_SalQuar_RifleEvade_CB_EvadeLeft" AnimSequence object is not referenced in any AnimSet object from this package. According to the naming scheme, AnimSet should have name "HMM_CB_SalQuar_RifleEvade". Sorry, I have no idea where to look for it. As for presence of the unlinked AnimSequence, it looks like a bug in UE3.
I can suggest you to use batch exporter to export everything from the game (it is slow and would require a lot of disk space), and then look at the BIOG_HMM_CB_A directory, probably it would contain HMM_CB_SalQuar_RifleEvade.psa file.

Ah ok. I'll have to give that a try then. Thanks for the very speedy replies.

Alright, so I've used the batch file to export all of the data files, however, the particular psa that I'm looking for still hasn't shown up, or at least not in the biog_hmm_CB_A folder, and not when doing a file search in the directory where I exported all the data files. I checked the log and here's where it shows up:

However, then I get this:

It's being skipped again. Just for comparison, here's a file that does get exported: HMM_CB_Drell_RifleEvade.psa

Here's where it shows up:

So I dunno. Maybe bioware is using space magic for more than just their endings.

I've looked at the Mass Effect 3 with more attention. Probably its game engine has capabilities to use AnimSequence without AnimSet ... Can't be sure.

I've added support for generating AnimSet object from the BioAnimSetData. Try it.
