KeyError: 'CDA:ObIpo'

[Andrettin]

I have followed the instructions and managed to generate a spritesheet for player2.blend. But when using another model I get the following error:

File "", line 79, in render
KeyError: 'CDA:ObIpo'

Any ideas on what may be causing this?

[jkersey]

No, haven't seen that before. Line 79 is trying to iterate through a list of animations it found in the .blend file. Maybe try adding CDA:ObIpo to the list of ignored_actions in config.ini? (also, thanks for checking this project out!)

[Andrettin]

Thanks for the response! Unfortunately, that didn't solve the issue. Nor did renaming that animation to something else. Unlinking it allowed the script to go further than that, but then I got another error (in line 62), saying that the system can't find "tmp_._"

For reference, this is the model I'm trying to generate a spritesheet for:

Interesting, the CDA:ObIpo is the staff, not sure why it's not happy with that. I'll dig in to it in a few hours after work.

Hey Andrettin, thanks for your patience!

If a tmp directory isn't being created, you'll need to make one in the current directory. You may need one for output/images as well.

These were the changes I had to make to get it to work, and I completely forgot about the animation_config directory when I was putting the description together. That file controls what animations are read from the .blend file as well as the directions the player should face.

I attached the files I edited, I'm going to modify the script to hopefully accommodate for these issues as soon as I can get my editor configured again.

In the .blend file:

Change the output resolution 64px x 64px, change the 25%

below that to 100%
in the Outliner, open the RenderPlatform, grab the icon next to GobArm and drag it to the left until it offers to clear the parent
Rename GobArm to Armature
Under the new Armature is Animation, and beneath that is Action. Rename Action to all
At the top of the outline is Scene, rename that to Player

in animation_config/player.cfg:

rename stand to all, remove the other lines

in config.ini

add CDA:ObIpo to the list of ignored actions

config.ini.zip
animation_config.zip
peddler.blend.zip

Hello jkersey,

First of all, I'm sorry for the delay in responding.

Thanks very much for your help! I tried generating spritesheets using the files you've attached; the previous error is gone, but unfortunately now I'm getting new ones:

"Error: File written by newer Blender binary (270.5), expect a loss of data!"
"Error, region type missing in - name: "Image", id:6"

[jkersey]

wow, yeah, that's pretty weird, what version of Blender and what platform are you using?

[Andrettin]

I'm on Windows 8, and am using Blender 2.68a (since that's what you used for the description of how to set up the script).

[jkersey]

Ah, I'm betting the goblin model was made with a newer Blender than 2.68. Totally safe to use the latest Blender with the script.
