Export Error: Flex controller limit

I'm getting an error saying I've got to many flexes in my export even though I'm clearly below the limit.

Initially I did have too many flexes, since I had a bunch that I'd combined into Stereo Flexes and then added an underscore to the name to keep them as backups. Even after deleting all those, I still get the error.

Here's the console message:

Anyone know what's up?

If I understand this correctly, "Pao Pao.dmx" has 66 flex controllers, and you load "Pao Pao.dmx" twice in the QC file, which loads the 66 flex controllers twice. 66 x 2 = 132, and 132 is more than the allowed 128.

It's generally not a good idea to have a model that loads the same DMX or SMD file as visible 3D mesh more than once in a QC file (your issue here is one of the reasons for that).

What happens if you try to compile a model that only consists of the "Pao Pao.dmx" file, with no other mesh files being loaded?

- Stereo Flexes -

Keep in mind that a stereo flex uses two flex controllers. One called "right_[controller]" and one called "left_[controller]". So if you have 66 shape keys for a model that are all set up to be stereo flexes, that adds up to 132 flex controllers, which is more than the 128 that StudioMDL.exe says is the maximum allowed amount.

Re-generate new controller if you did before.

GoblinCrusher 30. okt. 2018 kl. 8:02

Mostly identical error, though the "cannot add control" line stops at a different flex than before.

Though I've generated a new Controller Source text file where I haven't marked any flexes as Stereo yet... Is there some way to purge the controller text files and start fresh? Maybe it's somehow reading from a previous version where there's too many flexes?

GoblinCrusher 30. okt. 2018 kl. 8:33

Went back to an earlier file version where I didn't have any issues and I'm getting the same error.

GoblinCrusher 30. okt. 2018 kl. 9:01

Re-installing Blender doesn't work.

GoblinCrusher 31. okt. 2018 kl. 8:15

Bump. Sorry if I come off as nagging, it's just that this has thrown quite a wrench in my projects.

xdshot 31. okt. 2018 kl. 13:05

A blender project uploaded would be nice to certainly investigate why it happens.

I'd better not see it Line 5:
$model "Body" "Pao Pao.dmx"
Remove it

You will also get ERROR: z:\tmp\letspretendididntseeit\qc.qc(73): - can't find eyeball texture "eyeball_r" on model further. Solution:

Leave only one $model. AFAIK only one allowed.
Group various objects, including eyeballs. Source Exporter will export them united as one dmx.

Sucess, ha ha!

Two birds with one stone: I never thought about or looked too carefully at the QC code generated for the eye controllers, so I didn't realise it loaded the model again. I also was under the impression that the eyes had to be exported separately.

So in conclusion: everything works, yay! Though the eyes look properly fucked up, but there were some threads for that I'll look through to fix.

Thanks mates!

Unless you know exactly what you're doing, all eyes actually have to be part of the same mesh file. And unless you have a reason for it, you also shouldn't split eyes away from the head mesh file in the first place.
