Rotation constraints error

[_DaGinzo_]

So i was trying to compile a model i made, and i seem to be getting an error that says...

"ERROR: Rotation constraint on bone "ValveBiped.Bip01_Pelvis" which has no parent!!!"

I tried looking this problem up almost everywhere and I can't seem to get a valid answer to actually get it to work. I did weightpaint that bone in blender, but that didn't work either.

if there's anyone here that can help. i'd be glad.

That error is likely caused by a problem with the QC lines for $collisionmodel or $collisionjoints or a problem with the physics mesh SMD file (the file given to either of those two aforementioned QC commands).

Make sure the aforementioned QC commands have the proper opening and closing braces.

Make sure all faces in the physics mesh SMD file have the same material name and that all faces are actually weighted to a bone.

Check the compile log for earlier warnings or error messages related to the physics mesh. Sometimes those earlier messages are useful for finding the cause of the problem.

So i checked my QC files, and there doesn't seem to be a problem with the $collisionjoints. however it does not have a $collisionmodel line, will that interfere with the model? becuase the QC file i have didn't come with it.

Also, do I have to use blender to rig the physics mesh?

[ZeqMacaw]

The QC file should only have one of $collisionmodel or $collisionjoints, not both.

Yes, the physics mesh should be rigged.

[_DaGinzo_]

I checked the SMD file in blender, the pelvis seems to have been weighted. now I'm not too sure what the problem is.

[_DaGinzo_]

But I'll show you the QC and the VTA files with this model, just to see if there is anything wrong with them.

Awesome, I see he did not ever answer your question... If you were able to fix the issue let me know, cause I too have this issue for almost every model I try to compile.

[ZeqMacaw]

This looks a bug that was fixed with a more recent version of Crowbar.

Originally posted by N0BARK N00NAN:

So i was trying to compile a model i made, and i seem to be getting an error that says...

"ERROR: Rotation constraint on bone "ValveBiped.Bip01_Pelvis" which has no parent!!!"

I tried looking this problem up almost everywhere and I can't seem to get a valid answer to actually get it to work. I did weightpaint that bone in blender, but that didn't work either.

if there's anyone here that can help. i'd be glad.

JUST SO U KNOW, I AM NOT TYPING LIKE THIS TO YELL I HAVE EYE ISSUES.....AND TYPE LIKE THIS TOO SEE BETTER...ANYWAYS.....


I KNOW THIS MITE BE A OLD POST, BUT, I TOO HAVE THIS ISSUE, I AM TRYING TO FIX A MODELS FINGER POSING ISSUE AND SO I DECIDED I WOULD SIMPLE SWAP HIS SKELETON WITH ANOTHER VERSION OF HIM (OR SWAP THE HEADS WITCH EVER'S BETTER I'D USE TE FIXED ONE ON IT'S OWN BUT HES HEAD TEXTURES R MESSED UP.)I TRY TO "RIG" THE MODEL I EVERY WAY I KNOW THE MOST RECENT ONE WAS THE "CTRL P" "WITH EMPTY GROUPS" IN BLENDER. AND I GET THE SAME ERROR MESSAGE HAS ANYONE TOLD U HOW TO FIX THIS ISSUE? (I CHECKED CROWBAR AND I NOW HAVE THE NEWEST VERSION) AND I HAVE NOT TOUCHED HIS "QC" FILE SO I DON' THINK THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT...ALL I REPLACE IS THE "REFERENCE.SMD" WITH THE NEW ONE. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME?

[ZeqMacaw]

The best descriptions I have seen of those 4 options is in the VDC: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/$collisionmodel

It would be nice to have better descriptions, though.

[princes21]

I have had this problem as well, I tried the Angery Dude's fix and now I have the model ingame working, it's buggy though. When I come up close to the npc, the textures get scattered, when I'm far away everything looks fine though. During compiling I got these, which seem to be the cause:

WARNING: Invalid collision pair (ValveBiped.Bip01_R_Thigh, ValveBiped.Bip01_L_Thigh)
WARNING: Invalid collision pair (ValveBiped.Bip01_L_Forearm, ValveBiped.Bip01_L_Thigh)
WARNING: Invalid collision pair (ValveBiped.Bip01_R_Forearm, ValveBiped.Bip01_L_Thigh)

does anyone know the fix for this?

[ZeqMacaw]

I have not seen the warnings described in the reply post previous to my post. The warnings do not seem related to texture problems. The warnings seem to indicate problems with the collision mesh ($collisionjoints or $collisionmodel block in QC file).
