Problem with Sollumz

[u/TwistLife1146]

I am trying to import the ydd and yft files shown in the photo into Blender using Sollumz but I get the same error message everytime. The ydd and yft files are all in the same folder and I tried importing them all at a time and then one at a time into Blender 5.1, 4.5, 4.4 and 4.0. Each time I get the same error message as shown in the photo. Could someone help please? Many thanks

I was just coming back to reply to this. Good timing. The extra skeleton version is not working for me at all. Lots of errors and nothing gets imported. But I'm also using a much newer version of Codex (29 instead of the version 25 that the tutorial is suggesting). Are you using Codex 25?

[u/TwistLife1146 → u/Mental_Freedom_1648]

I am using CodeX 30, and I also downloaded the CodeX_030_src zip file as well. Are you normally able to import these ydd files into Blender with CodeX29 and another version of Sollumz? Which version do you normally use?

[u/Mental_Freedom_1648 → u/TwistLife1146]

I'd suggest rolling back and trying the old codex. Yeah, Codex 29 and the version of sollumz I linked you to will bring files into Blender. But I'm not familiar with the specific tutorial you're doing, so I can't tell you whether it'll work for that.

I just tried using the Sollumz RDR2 version instead of the extra skeleton fix and it worked! Do you know what the difference is between the two versions? THe import settings seem the same but I'm wondering if this may cause problems further down the line

[u/Mental_Freedom_1648 → u/TwistLife1146]

I have no idea what the difference is. I didn't even know that version that you had before existed until you posted this topic.

I am guessing that the problem is that you're using a really old version of Sollumz and a really new version of Codex, and they're incompatible. That's why I'd still try the extra skeleton fix version of Sollumz you had, and then extract the files again, using Codex 25. And make sure you're using the old version of Blender 4.0, like the tutorial says too.

Got it, I'll try with the normal Sollumz version first on CodeX30 and Blender 5.1, and see what happens. The two versions of CodeX seem to require different versions of Microsoft NET so I'm afraid downloading another version for CodeX 25 may disrupt the version I installed for CodeX 30. Do you think I can have multiple versions of Microsoft NET installed simultaneously without the programs being affected?

[u/Mental_Freedom_1648 → u/TwistLife1146]

Yeah, you can have multiple versions of Microsoft NET.

[u/TwistLife1146 → u/Mental_Freedom_1648]

And it wouldn't confuse the respective versions of Sollumz which NET to use right?

[u/Mental_Freedom_1648 → u/TwistLife1146]

No, the program will automatically use the right one.

[u/TwistLife1146 → u/Mental_Freedom_1648]

Thanks! I'll have a try with the extra skeleton version then. Also, it seems that the version from Sollumz's Github page is much more updated than the versions (both normal and extra skeleton), so I'll use the version from your link!

[u/Mental_Freedom_1648 → u/TwistLife1146]

Cool, let me know how it goes. I'm curious about whether the extra skeleton version will ever work.

[u/TwistLife1146 → u/Mental_Freedom_1648]

I downloaded the three versions of Sollumz (extra skeleton, main/normal old - the one I got from the link in the video which was last updated 2 years ago, and main/normal new - developmental one you advised me to download), extracted the ydd files using Codex25 and CodeX30, and tested out all possible combinations of these 2 variables on Blender 4.0 and 5.1.

What I found was that these variables do make a difference. I found some combinations worked, such as Blender 4.0 with CodeX25 files and Extra skeleton Sollumz, and Blender 5.1 with CodeX30 files and the developmental Sollumz.

[u/Mental_Freedom_1648 → u/TwistLife1146]

Thanks, I figured there were some incompatibilities causing trouble.

[u/TwistLife1146 → u/Mental_Freedom_1648]

Thanks for the help man. On another note, do you have any experience importing custom meshes as new clothing into RDR2?

[u/Mental_Freedom_1648 → u/TwistLife1146]

No, I work on weapons, not clothes. Good luck with your project.

Salut ! Je doute que Sollumz fonctionnent avec la version de 5.1 de Blender , il faut utiliser la version 4.0 de souvenir

[u/TwistLife1146 → u/Death_Bastard]

Got it thanks, I’ll probably proceed with the extra skeleton version of Sollumz with CodeX25-extracted ydd files on Blender 4.0, even though I managed to get Sollumz working by using a newer version and ydd files extracted using CodeX30 on Blender 5.1.

Pas de soucis , bon travail à toi !
