Getting ID:Render error with AI...


AluminumHaste

Recommended Posts

I added two AI a guard and a thug. I made some patrol points and attached them to the thug. They are both on my team and the guard just sits there. I didn't give them a head as I'm assuming that they all have a default head. But when I run the map, the AI aren't there, and in the console there are just id:render errors with NULL exceptions for ANIM I think. Didn't save the text sorry.

 

Do the AI's that come with the demo work completely or do I have to use only certain ones?

I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather.

Yes, they should work completely as in Den and all have default heads.

 

Try deleting the .proc, .cm. and .aas32 files that acommpany your map then dmap again. Also make sure the AI you placed definitely are on or above the surface of your ground; maybe you placed them in top view and they are below in the void? I don't think so but I'm just trying to think of possibilities.

 

Finally, if that fails, do a new map with a single room, light, player start, and one AI and see what you get. If that is OK then maybe there is some other problem with your main map.

Here is the error:

 

idRenderModelMD5::InstantiateDynamicMode

l: NULL joints on renderEntity for 'models/md5/chars/townsfolk/townsfolk_thug/townsfolk_thugmesh.md5mesh'

 

Okay just tried it in a brand new map just a small room with a door and getting the same error.

Are you sure your local thiefs_den copy is not corrupted in some way? I never saw such an error before, maybe the MD5 meshes (or the DEF files) went wrong somehow?

 

The mission ran fine without errors. Don't know, I will try playing thief's den again.

Ah, that mistake is bound to happen now and then to lots of people, but I still believe it's for the best overall to have the two separate categories.

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
