- Improve arms attachment
The arm bones were at an angle, so that the bones were difficult
to orient correctly, as unintuitive combinations of angles
would be needed to get the default orientation, or any other
acceptable orientation. Moreover, a simple rotation of the arm,
e.g. forward, would require all angles to be adapted, instead
of just one.
The ends of the arms bones were moved from touching the body, to
the center of the arm, at an equal distance from the sides of the
arm and the shoulder; the arm bone is now in the center of the arm.
- Fix body rotation
The body was rotated 180° while the rest wasn't, leading to
strange results when setting bone positions manually.
- Fix default rotation of limbs (manually positioning them in
their default position would require an 180° rotation).
Is is not know how this was fixed. Maybe just because the
model was re-exported.
- The bone of the cape was moved to the center of the cape (it was
at the edge). For some reason this fixed the 180° rotation of the
cape when it was manually positioned (similar to previous issue).
The changes above fix most of the issues mentioned in #1376
- Add a player-model-specific workaround for the problem described in:
https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/2813#issuecomment-198796927https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game/pull/1392#issuecomment-261669915
During walking, attached tools would randomly switch hands. Walking also
happens to be the only animation where the body does not move. Making the
body move an imperceptible amount makes the issue disappear for the player
model.
- Fix body vertex group: it no longer includes parts of arms and legs
Thanks to @stujones11 for these last two changes.
I've created a modified B3Dexport.py version that automatically strips
the embedded texture link to external texture files. These links were
causing the engine to spew "can't find character.png" messages on the
console, but were harmless due to texture loading being done by the
client side and not through irrlicht.
I previously moved character.png to /textures/, which is wrong. I now
understand that character.png was in the same folder as character.blend
simply to make blender load the texture from the embedded linkage
automatically. Nothing more, nothing less.
Subsequently the character.png file should just sit in convenience
in the /models/ folder with the blend file, and not in the textures
file. This patch moves it back. And yes, minetest does load the
character.png from this path.
Both the standing and sitting animations had misplaced curve
cusps that caused the end part of the animation to wiggle the
feet slightly back and forward.
I've fixed both animations parts and re-exported. Verified in-game
with multiplayer that everything was indeed fixed.
