Armor models do not load after update 1.0

Opened this issue · 6 comments

Armor models don't load since update 1.0 (only the visual model works, but the penetration indicator does not). The collision model format was changed to .havok with the game update, which seems to be the cause of this issue.

Yes, it changed to the havok and I'm not sure how to fix it. @hillin

Like I know, its no fix for it. After Havoc was sold to MS, they stopped distribute free SDK.

I've no idea about the havok models, but this may involve additional reverse engineering and a thorough refactor to the armor model system, which is very likely to be a big project. The original RE works are done by our partner @zooedward , but he has everything to keep him busy enough, so I guess we are unable to fix this in the near future, unfortunately.

Here is a project that parses havok files. It is a little outdated, but the basic principles remained the same.

adri1wcrow or hillin, please, contact MasterModeley directly or me over email (demonand@gmail.com) and I will help you contact with MasterModeley. He have info, about havok form and will to help.

I don't know much about the model and I'm busy with my family recently. So I will work on the software update first.

I left the operator company of WOT in China more than half a year.
The Chinese server still work on the 9.22 version and don't have the update plan now.
So I can only spend a little time on maintain the tankinspector. Sorry.
