Custom Character's Item not Showing

[Justintime235]

So I wanted to transfer my custom character from Don't Starve to DST. The mod includes a custom character and a sword. The character and the sword work fine when playing DST, but the images for both the original anim .zip (katana.zip) and the swap .zip (swap_katana.zip) do not show. The inventory image is there in the hot bar, but when I equip the sword it is invisible. When looking into the log, it says "could not find anim bank for katana". I have the anim files and I have in the katana prefab that states this:

local assets={    Asset("ANIM", "anim/katana.zip"),    Asset("ANIM", "anim/swap_katana.zip"),      Asset("ATLAS", "images/inventoryimages/katana.xml"),    Asset("IMAGE", "images/inventoryimages/katana.tex"),}

I am not all that great with lua but I can't find the problem. 

Thank you!

Do you have:

local function onequip(inst, owner)	owner.AnimState:OverrideSymbol("swap_object", "swap_katana", "swap_katana")	owner.AnimState:Show("ARM_carry")	owner.AnimState:Hide("ARM_normal")endlocal function onunequip(inst, owner)	owner.AnimState:Hide("ARM_carry")	owner.AnimState:Show("ARM_normal")end-- inside the fn(), after the AddComponent("equippable")inst.components.equippable:SetOnEquip(onequip)inst.components.equippable:SetOnUnequip(onunequip)

in the prefab lua file?

local function onequip(inst, owner)	owner.AnimState:OverrideSymbol("swap_object", "swap_katana", "swap_katana")	owner.AnimState:Show("ARM_carry")	owner.AnimState:Hide("ARM_normal")endlocal function onunequip(inst, owner)	owner.AnimState:Hide("ARM_carry")	owner.AnimState:Show("ARM_normal")end-- inside the fn(), after the AddComponent("equippable")inst.components.equippable:SetOnEquip(onequip)inst.components.equippable:SetOnUnequip(onunequip)

in the prefab lua file?

Yes I do.

local function Onequip(inst, owner)    owner.AnimState:OverrideSymbol("swap_object", "swap_katana", "swap_katana")    owner.AnimState:Show("ARM_carry")    owner.AnimState:Hide("ARM_normal")end  local function Onunequip(inst, owner)    owner.AnimState:Hide("ARM_carry")    owner.AnimState:Show("ARM_normal")endlocal function fn()    inst:AddComponent("equippable")    inst.components.equippable:SetOnEquip( Onequip )    inst.components.equippable:SetOnUnequip( Onunequip )end

Within the function fn() I also have the attributes of the katana.

Can you upload your katana.zip and swap_katana.zip?

 

There's probably a name issue, since using the katana.zip for the asset is generating an animation bank of another name.

Here they are:

katana.zip

and:

swap_katana.zip

Could it be the postion/size of the atlas-0?

It's just naming issues.

 

Using:

owner.AnimState:OverrideSymbol("swap_object", "swap_katana", "swap_sandai")

in the onequip and:

    inst.AnimState:SetBank("sandai")    inst.AnimState:SetBuild("katana")    inst.AnimState:PlayAnimation("idle")

for the animstate makes it appear.

Thank you very much!!

Sorry to dredge up an old thread, but can someone explain how they found "sandai"?  I don't see that in anything the other guy uploaded... Where did they look?

[DarkXero]

@FortisVenaliter, I uncompressed the swap_katana.zip.

I opened with notepad the anim.bin file.

I looked for symbol names nearing the timeline_0.

swap_sandai was the symbol name found.

 

Alternatively, you can use krane http://forums.kleientertainment.com/files/file/583-ktools-cross-platform-modding-tools-for-dont-starve/

The spriter project will decompile everything and you will get the anim bank.

 

I did the same for katana.zip, the name of the bank was sandai.
