I'm going to set you all up with a version of Sketchup that exports .obj files. If you dont know how to make a model with sketchup google some tutorials.
|
Also, I haven't read any tutorials on this, but I thought you could change the textures?
By the way, Anim8or exports in .obj, and it's /really/ easy to use for beginners, since it's what it's meant for :p. If Sketchup is too hard for people. I also noticed in this, sometimes warps work and sometimes it doesn't, I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. EDIT: Just tried to import .obj files to no success :C. "Unable to convert OBJ file" It wasn't even that large, just a quick little test of boxes. |

Here's a tutorial on how to use Sketchup with Banjo's Backpack.

Thanks, CBM.
I'd also just like to share a little story - I put a huge Scabby in Spiral Mountain, and when I killed it it was probably stuck in the ground and not high enough, so it just kept spinning indefinitely until it crashed. Kinda funny. |
Sweet, I just noticed it after I posted :P. Any idea of why it doesn't import obj files from other programs? I half assume it's because I didn't have any texture set, but figured it would do so even without one.
EDIT: OH, never mind. Just went wire frame mode and realized they weren't triangulated. -facepalm- EDIT 2: Even triangulated it is unsuccessful :(. |
I made the obj file, I loaded it into the model editor, saved it as a bin file, and when I loaded the setup, all the objects cleared but Spiral Mountain remained the same and my objects/setup where nowhere to be found.

Like, it's in the model importer, and shows correct collision mapping and such, but how do you get it into the actual level?? |

Been messing around with Bob-omb battlefield to get the hang of the program piece by piece. So far so good.

Oh my good lord! I replaced SM so now the opening cutscene is effed up! Ha!

I keep falling through the freaking floor.

Hmm, it keeps saying my level is too big, when it's essentially no bigger than say, Blubber's ship. I'm trying to put it in TTC but it won't let me do it, :X.
|
I fall through some of the floors... but not all of them?

did you make sure they have ground collision? |
He's not falling through any of them, but he's acting differently on all three of the platforms.
On the first one he keeps trying to fall through but doesn't, on the second he walks on it really slowly like he's constantly colliding with it, and on the third he walks normally fine. |
Make sure that Banjo is touching the white side of the triangles in sketchup. If he touched the purple/glowing side he will fall through. You can swap sides by right clicking the face and selecting "reverse faces". I'll add this to the tutorial.

Ugh, I made a decent test level but it's telling me it's too big for every level. Even CCW.

There wont be any size limitations in the future. For now you can get rid of a few things if it still doesnt fit in RBB. |

EDIT: tried RBB to no avail. EDIT 2: I decided to just move it around and erase bottom edges and named the file "I give up" and it worked. This will take some getting used to, :p. |

Sure. Do you want the .obj, or the bin? I also tried to make it more sizable to banjos size as it was too small, and even making it a single size or two bigger makes it 'too big' for rusty bucket bay. No clue why, it really isn't that huge :C. I'll edit the files on this post. Ugh can't upload here, it's slightly too big. |

How do we add BK textures into our object files/setups?
|
Alright. I sent them. It's probably something I'm doing wrong, but I honestly can't seem to figure it out, when a single size change makes it too large for a huge map that could completely engulf it..
Also, what he said^ Unless we need to have them extracted. I remember extracting a bunch of Rare textures years ago but don't think I have the zips anymore. |
Get that here:
http://www.therwp.com/downloads/banj...a-texture-pack Then create a new material and use these. |
I think I figured out what it is. If you start in the corner making a map in Sketchup, it puts it where the default start position in BB is, at 0,0,0. So if any of your pieces extend past any boundary at that point, it calls it too big. There's no way to move the map around in BB, is there? Seems like the only way is to move it in a program like Sketchup first, guessing to where it will be in the map to get the most out of the space.
Only thing I could see as being a problem, as part of my platform originally crossed the line in Sketchup, but I figured when imported to BB it would load directly in the middle of the map. This would also make sense, as I originally had a pretty large flooring so you don't just fall into nothingness, and that presumably would have clipped through the bottom edges of the original world, I guess. Teeny version just because it works, and I figured out how to change texture UV coordinates in Sketchup, @_@. I forgot most of the stuff I learned in 2006 about any kind of 3D-modeling, haha. EDIT: Found the problem: IT IS because it's positioning it outside the level. This would obviously fit in Mumbo's Mountain (I left all the entities on to see if this was the case), except when you make it larger, it seems to throw it way out of bounds, for whatever reason. Idk if I'm missing it, but there must be a way to move it into location better? Am I just blind and missing it, Coolboyman ? |
You can move the level around in import mode. Check all of those options.

Hi DementedSun,
I have taken a look at your model file and quickly looked at the UVs they were very large i have shrunk them down, unfortunately i wasn't sure of how the model looked originally. I also have looked at your collision issues. The problem there is that there are some faces on top of each other with the normals facing different ways, this causes an issue in Banjo Kazooie, as BB will generate collision triangles for all faces unless you set them to not solid. I deleted them and loaded it into the game to test it seems fine. I didn't have any of the other problems you had. Here is the download for the obj and bins let me know if there are still problems or you want me to go over anything with you on it. I know some of you will be on here and not RWC it does make things easier for us if these problems are posted there. But thats fine CBM will be able to help you on here with any problems you guys have. Download: http://rarewarecentral.com/files/dementedsun.zip |

Oh, it's that simple? Thanks, CBM. We really need to repay you in some way for all the help your giving us and for BB alone - but I guess the best way to do that is to just get you some complete levels for you to play, isn't it? ;)
EDIT: Just to let everyone know, in order for Spiral Mountain molehills to work you need to have the start molehill first - probably because they use flags that check whether the player asked for a tutorial to begin with - so if the flag is never set Bottles just stands there and scratches his head and the game never decides what to do. |
The Jump molehill keeps looping at the head scratch animation even though I've already talked to the start one.
