I already figured out, it is necessary to create the animation, but how to save it?

That is so pretty.. such a pretty lantern. : D I noticed a drill part was used on the handle, very clever ;D

Export using OpenCollada. Make sure "Animations" is checked in the options box to the right.


And thank you JenniferOrange. That drill part is actually already on the lantern. I just applied a black color to it.

I want to use the mandus lantern. I created a folder in my test_mod entitie folder(FC Mod folder) and saved it in a folder like you said. Do i need to put the .msh and other files of mandus lantern there so it works? I dont need to edit anything at all just the oil drainage and i just need to get it to work.

I mean im not doing a CUSTOM lantern i only want to import the one from aamfp to my fc mod...


While waiting for a reply, i will test around a bit.

I'm not sure if the MFP lantern needs any special treatment considering AMFP has a new model import system. They're working on a patch for Amnesia and its editors to make converting the models easier, but for now, yes, you should have all the necessary files including the .msh in there. I'm not sure how the thing works in accordance to TDD though. And oil drainage can be found in the game.cfg in the "<Player_Lantern" subsection. Set the LowerOilSpeed = "0" to make it infinite.

Well i will just put models > player, hand_object in my FC folder.
But it seems i cant find the lantern from pigs in amfp. it seems to be the TDD lantern there. Are some files missing or did FG just edit the default one?


RE: How to: Apply a New "Lantern" - Statyk - 01-29-2014

Are they named the same? If they have the same name, it may be causing issues trying to read the correct lantern.


RE: How to: Apply a New "Lantern" - Acies - 01-29-2014

Also make sure that your directory for the new lantern is higher up in the list of your FC resources.cfg than the original directory. That will give it 'priority' when the game encounters multiple files with the same name.

But how do i install the lantern from amfp correctly first?

If someone could explain me that that would be awesome. Im not good in importing things so i would need an explanation.
