Not creating animations?

[notquitethatguy]

Hi,

 

I'm currently adding another weapon to my character mod and I have all the right files in the exported section (Or so I'm lead to believe) and it will not create the animations for the anim folder, when I launch the game.

 

Any ideas what could be causing this?

I had this problem too, and I couldn't figure out why (it created SOME of the necessary animations but not all of them-- they were all in the same exported folder, and all valid for sure).

 

I ended up solving it by just using the tool manually:

 

Open up a command prompt and navigate to your equivalent of C:\program files\steam\steamapps\common\Don't Starve Mod Tools\mod_tools.* Enter:

scml.exe ".\..\..\dont_starve\mods\<YOUR MOD FOLDER>\exported\<YOUR ITEM FOLDER>\<YOUR SPRITER DOCUMENT>.scml" ".\..\..\dont_starve\mods\<YOUR MOD FOLDER>"

This will generate the necessary .zip file inside the exported folder.  The game should automatically move this over to the /anim folder when it starts up, but if it doesn't, you can always just copy it over manually.

 

*Naturally, replace "dont_starve" with the path for DST if that's where your mod is.
