If Bintoe.exe fails ... options? - by LarryG

I'm trying to work kfort's mummy sarcophogus issue by combining the muumy's mesh into a single object with the sarcophogus bottom, but the mummy1.bin gives a zero length .e file. Any suggestions?

Where did the mummy1.bin file come from? Is it stock, or a custom object?
If it's a custom item, you should be able to get the original 3DS. If not, I could try it and see what BintoE is complaining about.
BintoE is a marvel of reverse engineering hacking, but it's probably not the most stable thing I ever wrote.

The funny thing is that Bintoe does not complain. It is very happy creating a zero length e file.
I got the bin from Kfort. I don't know where it came from or if there is a 3ds master for it. I'll check with Kfort.

Later: The mummy was from (

I'll PM him and ask about the original files.

If it's an AI mesh I don't think bintoe can convert it. That's why it's such a good thing the original AIs have their .e files with them.

I thought I converted one several months back ... did I have the e file? I don't recall. Hmmm.

What's the issue you are trying to 'work'?
I'd think just using posed corpse would be fine, you can have a multitude of pose options that way.
I think you may be forgetting the cal file in order to convert the ai bin to an e. Been awhile...

schwaa is right, you need the .cal and the humanoid.map file to give bintoe.exe the joint information. the command you run also is important.
bintoe.exe /mhumanoid.map /a0.5 mummy.bin

I have the mummy1.cal file in the Mesh sub-dir, but no mhumanoid.map. Is that the same for every humanoid? And what is A0.5?

humanoid.map - no 'm'. The '/m' is the switch that uses it.
