How to use Donamy's EMU

[zerofay32]

This is mainly directed at Donamy (but if anyone can help, feel free to sing out):

I was wondering how to use the EMU that is in your STS-124 pack (I think that is where it's from). It's the one that is a Spacecraft3 vessel with all of the animations. There was no examples in any of the scenarios of how to include it, but I was able to get it to load in a scenario by changing the name of another spacecraft3 vessel only none of the animations worked. I then looked at the config and tried a test of assinging one of the animations to another key. I changed the visor to the J key and that made it work but my question is how to get the other animations to work? Any help will be greatly appreiciated. Thanks in advance.

You need the EVAEMU1.msh and EVAEMU1.ini

textures,
EMUpanel.dds
EMU2.dds
EMUMain.dds
EMUFlag.dds

 

[zerofay32]

I'll make sure I have these later after work. Would not having any of these cause the animations to not work?

Thanks,

You have to get it from my "ISS Experience V2"

Yes, I have that. I just couldn't remember what add-on it came with. Sorry for any confusion. I was able to get it to load in a scenario but none of the animations worked. I will mess around with it when I get home. Thanks for the help.

OK, I have the files. I still can't get the animations to work. Here is the scenario that I used.

Is this the same as the .int file? Or is that what I'm missing?

Thanks for the continued help.

EDIT:Also, the config is how it is in the download. I have not changed it.

 

[Donamy]

It should be

EVAEMU1:spacecraft\spacecraft3

 

[zerofay32]

humm... the scenario file has the \ . I'll try posting it again.

That is the scenario. Same issue.

try changing

System SolSTS to System Sol

 

[zerofay32]

I don't think I have explained the problem I'm having correctly. Using the scenario above I was able to get the EMU to load and everything. The question I have is that looking in the config file I noticed that the EMU has animation like the hand closing, the waist turning, arms moving, etc. I also noticed the keys that should activate them for example:

[ANIM_SEQ_0] ; waste swivel
KEY=1
INIT_POS=0.5
DURATION=3
PAUSE=1

If I am reading this correctly then the 1 key should activate this animation, correct? But when loaded in Orbiter none of the animations worked.
As a test I changed:
[ANIM_SEQ_11] ;visor
KEY=7
INIT_POS=1
DURATION=3

To:
[ANIM_SEQ_11] ;visor
KEY=J
INIT_POS=1
DURATION=3

This caused the animation to work correctly. How would I get all the animations to work? I can get it to load fine (see sceenshot) in the scenario I posted using both Sol and SolSTS.

I hope I explained myself better. Thanks

Each of the EMU's animations is set up to be a "joint" of an robotic arm animation. So to use it correctly, you first press Spacebar to active robotic arm mode, then you use NumPad 4 and 6 to go through each joint and NumPad 2 and 8 to move each joint.

 

[zerofay32]

Ok. Thanks for the help. And looking at the config, it was kind of right in front of me the whole time. Duh. Again, thanks a lot for all the help, both you and Donamy.
