oh right, i thought you meant the new batch scale feature on the toolbar of the asset manager next to the new prepare button.
i never thought about having more decimals lol :P

you can for now prepare the folder, then use the second tool batch scale to rescale the meshes of your choice.

Thanks!

I came across a problem today with the prepare option you know how if it finds a duplicate file it renames it and puts 00 on the end well the system wont add the normal and spec after that, so you have to do it manually and also placing the normal and spec after this in fact messes up the model as seen in the video below.

hmm strange one again. Can i ask what settings you choose when preparing for this error and the animation one you have problems with?

Also, does the same thing happen every time the folder is prepared. When we were testing, StarFire would send me folders that didn't work with the system and i would fix them.

There are a lot of permutations to cover, so all the files and folders to prepare would be helpful from any user :)

Edit: The normal map on the video has a space in the name, we gave up on that one and am suprised the system did not catch it and replace it with an underscore like the diffuse texture. Will have a look at code :)

The funny thing is the original files didn't have spaces.

plant001_D
plant001_N
plant001_S

But the system has taken the folder name which is Forest Plants and put it on the files so that is where it space is coming from :lol:

Forest Plants_plant001_D_00
Forest Plants_plant001_N_00
Forest Plants_plant001_S_00

here is the conversion settings I used for both

Material Problem - normals / speculars rename
ok, i think i know the error for the normal and specular maps with spaces. I should have that fixed today. I rename the normal and specular textures to match the diffuse versions but i might not have removed the spaces found as the diffuse does.

Material Problem - Animations missing
The animations may have been missing as the "Share Existing materials" option changes the command line for exporting the FBX files. I will look into this one aswell. For now, turn off "Share Existing materials" and turn on "Create Material for every diffuse texture" for this folder to work correctly and come out with animations and start the folder from scratch again(just FBX files and textures - remove / add folder to resources to reset all files). Also careful of scaling afterwards as the skeleton can be stretched out of shape which is another problem i have found that needs fixed.

More information
The option "Create Material for every diffuse texture" is not meant for a folder with FBX/Assimp files that contain their own materials. As most of the time the FBX/Assimp files will export the required materials for you. This option was so you could convert an entire texture library into usable unique materials. Hence why it is disabled by default. However in the case of the WWII materials, all that was exported was a "01 - Default" material with no textures as the FBX mesh files were missing their materials. This is when you can use this option to generate all the materials quickly for you.

The option "Share Existing materials" is for folders like your trees so they reference the same material. Folders like the WWII weapons dont require this as you want them to be unique to each mesh. Plus sharing materials also means meshes could reference an incorrect material if one already existed for another pack as a duplicate.

Note: All the options have a tooltip explaining what they do aswell.

I hope this clears a few things up for you and explains a few missing bits.

i have replicated the animation issue on my computer and am now attempting to fix it :)

Edit: That vegetation pack, please could you send me it or the few files that were demonstrated in the video to ensure that the space problem has been removed.
