Odd export bug [fixed]
ok, added [fixed]
awesome. thanks. is the fix in the current download?
I'm running into this error when trying to export a scene:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\Robert\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.71\scripts\addons\io_scene_valvesource\export_smd.py", line 194, in execute File "C:\Users\Robert\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.71\scripts\addons\io_scene_valvesource\export_smd.py", line 409, in exportId bone_parents = collections.defaultdict(list) File "C:\Users\Robert\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.71\scripts\addons\io_scene_valvesource\export_smd.py", line 804, in writeSMD for mod in id.modifiers: File "C:\Users\Robert\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.71\scripts\addons\io_scene_valvesource\export_smd.py", line 419, in getWeightmap IndexError: list index out of range location: <unknown location>:-1

This might have something to do with me using an Armature modifier with a single bone. (There are no weights because the bone is only used as an attachment point.)

The blend file where this happens is here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2asrbq3qjhr0ilu/exportbug.blend

This was happening in the previous version of the export plugin as well, but I hadn't gotten around to reporting it. A workaround appears to be to export single objects one at a time and not the whole scene at once.

vtex support?
Thanks for BST and the GIMP plugin. (Haven't tried the gimp plugin yet but the blender addon works well.)

It seems like whether vtex "compile" is a workflow improvement depends on whether you need to edit in GIMP or not. If you don't (like there were some way to copy regular grayscale images into the alpha channel of other textures) then it probably would be. I'd kind of like to create something that copies the specular/envmap into the alpha channel of the diffuse texture so I could just save it off and avoid having to use gimp or some other tool to do that.

The texture painting stuff in blender does most of what I want. The only real problem I have is with maps that are stored in the alpha channel.

Basically what I'm talking about is adding a "save to VTF" option for textures. Implementation-wise it would actually save to TGA then invoke vtex.exe to make a VTF, then delete the TGA. Right now I use VTFEdit, but usually I don't need to edit externally so I might as well just save directly to VTF from blender.

Settings help
Not sure what game you're working with, but see the Blade Symphony guide on my profile page for an example of how to set them for one particular game.

Help with exporting using new smoothing method in 2.71
I usually use the Crease Subsurf with the multiresolution modifier to make sharp edges. (Set crease to 1.)

vtex support?
Any plans to add vtex support?

If I write it, can I donate the code to get it included in valve source tools?
