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!

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?------------------

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.

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.------------------

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.IP: Logged |

did you try this? change everything including her 'firing' head before you open it in the old strpix. [This message has been edited by Tomb_Raider_Nut (edited 12-25-2001).] IP: Logged |

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

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 |

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 |

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 |

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.IP: Logged |
