Custom character issue?

[PrismS774]

So I've been trying to put a custom model in Coopdx, and I've been able to export the armature geolayout from Blender, but no matter how many times I open the game, my folder won't be built into a .bin file (I've been trying to use GitHub - coop-deluxe/character-template: A character Template of Mario that allows more possibilities of what's possible. Created for Super Mario 64 PC Port, specifically for Coop Deluxe! This template also works for sm64ex-coop. as a reference guide). Is there another way I can do this or something I am doing wrong?

The armature needs to be exported into the sm64coopdx/mods/character_mod/actors directory. And make sure theirs nothing else other than the folder you're trying to make a .bin for. Then run the game and it will make the bin file

Thank you so much. For some reason, I don't have a folder called character mod in my mods folder. Do I need to download this and where can I do so?

 

[lionlord120]

No need to download, just make the a new folders in your directory yourself so that the whole file path of sm64coopdx/mods/character_mod/actors exists

 

[PrismS774]

Oh, ok. Thanks!
I made the folder, but it's still not being built. And yes, there is nothing else in the actors folder. So what now? Do I have to leave the game running for a certain amount of time?

It should be done building once you get to the main menu so let me try to clarify.
1. Create this file path if you haven't already "sm64coopdx\mods\character_mod\actors"
2. Place your export (The one with the geo.inc.c file and such) from blender via Fast64 to that directory, should be something like this "sm64coopdx\mods\character_mod\actors\characterName"
3. Run the coop mod usually until it hits main menu.
4. Bin file should now be built and ready to use "sm64coopdx\mods\character_mod\actors\characterName_geo.bin"

So, I'm using Fast64's F3D exporter instead of the SM64 Geolayout exporter?

I used this version of fast64 and did the export armature geolayout

This one, right? (This isn't my actual Blender, it's just an example)

The one that I have gotten to work looks more like the one mentioned here

 

[PrismS774]

Yeah, I used the same one but it's not working for me for some reason
