Hey,

I've started a stance maker for toribash modding.
Contrary to what one might think, I have no problem with the rotation angles, but I have a lot of problem to understand how position works.

See by yourself :
First screenshot : i make my pose in game, and i launch the script
Second screenshot : i load the generated tbm file... as you can see, there are some glitches with the position of the joints and bodyparts.

If somebody (Blam ?) could fix that for me...

Anyway, here's the code :

local player_index = 0
local body_index
local body_info
local angle_x, angle_y, angle_z
local trx, try


local file = io.open("!test.tbm","w")

file:write ("# mod automatically generated by Melmoth's Stance Maker\n\n")

for joint_index = 0,19 do

        joint_info = get_joint_info (player_index, joint_index)
		joint_pos = get_joint_pos2 (player_index, joint_index)
		local radius = get_joint_radius (player_index, joint_index)
		local jointname = string.lower(joint_info.name)

		jointname,_ = jointname:gsub("right ", "r_")
		jointname,_ = jointname:gsub("left ", "l_")

		file:write ("joint " .. string.lower(jointname) .. "\n")
		file:write ("\tradius  " .. radius .. "\n")
		file:write ("\tpos  " .. joint_pos.x .. " " .. (0.45 + joint_pos.y) .. " " .. (0.06 + joint_pos.z) .. "\n")		
end

file:write ("\n")

for body_index = 0,20 do
        body_info = get_body_info (player_index, body_index)
		local bodyname = body_info.name
		if (bodyname == "THORAX") then
			bodyname = "groin"
		end
		
        angle_y = math.asin(body_info.rot.r2) -- Calculate Y-axis angle
		C = math.cos(angle_y)
		angle_y = -(angle_y * 180) / math.pi
        if ( math.abs( C ) > 0.005 ) then
			-- no Gimball lock, so get X-axis angle
			trx =  body_info.rot.r10 / C
			try = -(body_info.rot.r6 / C)
			angle_x = -(math.atan2( try, trx ) * 180) / math.pi
			trx = body_info.rot.r0 / C -- Get Z-axis angle
			try = -(body_info.rot.r1 / C)
			angle_z  = -(math.atan2( try, trx ) * 180) / math.pi
		else
			-- Gimball lock has occurred
			angle_x = 0 -- Set X-axis angle to zero
			trx = body_info.rot.r5 -- And calculate Z-axis angle
			try = body_info.rot.r4;
			angle_z = -(math.atan2( try, trx ) * 180) / math.pi
		end
	
        file:write ("body " .. string.lower(bodyname) .. "\n")
		file:write ("\tsides " .. body_info.sides.x ..  " " .. body_info.sides.y .. " " .. body_info.sides.z .. "\n")		
		file:write ("\tpos " .. body_info.pos.x ..  " " .. (0.45 + body_info.pos.y) .. " " .. (0.06 + body_info.pos.z) .. "\n")		
		file:write ("\trot " .. angle_x ..  " " .. angle_y .. " " .. angle_z .. "\n")
		file:write ("\n")
end

file:close()

Hmm...
your conversion is fine, as this pic shows:

drawn using:

add_hook("draw3d","test",
    function()
        set_color(0,0,0,1)
        for joint_index = 0,19 do
            joint_info = get_joint_info (player_index, joint_index)
            joint_pos = get_joint_pos2 (player_index, joint_index)
            local radius = get_joint_radius (player_index, joint_index)
            
            draw_sphere(joint_pos.x-3,joint_pos.y,joint_pos.z,radius)
            draw_sphere(joint_pos.x+3,joint_pos.y,joint_pos.z,radius)
        end
        
        for body_index = 0,20 do
            body_info = get_body_info (player_index, body_index)

                trx =  body_info.rot.r10 / C
                try = -(body_info.rot.r6 / C)
                angle_x = -(math.atan2( try, trx ) * 180) / math.pi
            trx = body_info.rot.r0 / C -- Get Z-axis angle
                try = -(body_info.rot.r1 / C)
                angle_z  = -(math.atan2( try, trx ) * 180) / math.pi
            else

                angle_x = 0 -- Set X-axis angle to zero
                trx = body_info.rot.r5 -- And calculate Z-axis angle
                try = body_info.rot.r4;
                angle_z = -(math.atan2( try, trx ) * 180) / math.pi
            end
            
            set_color(1,0,0,1)
            if(body_index == 0) then
                draw_sphere(body_info.pos.x-3,body_info.pos.y,body_info.pos.z,body_info.sides.x)
                draw_sphere(body_info.pos.x+3,body_info.pos.y,body_info.pos.z,body_info.sides.x)

            elseif(body_index > 0 and body_index < 15) or (body_index > 18) then
                draw_box(body_info.pos.x-3,body_info.pos.y,body_info.pos.z,body_info.sides.x,body_info.sides.y,body_info.sides.z,angle_x,angle_y,angle_z)
                draw_box_m(body_info.pos.x+3,body_info.pos.y,body_info.pos.z,body_info.sides.x,body_info.sides.y,body_info.sides.z,body_info.rot)
            else --Legs are odd..
                draw_capsule(body_info.pos.x-3,body_info.pos.y,body_info.pos.z,body_info.sides.x+0.2,body_info.sides.y-0.17,angle_x,angle_y,angle_z)
                draw_capsule_m(body_info.pos.x+3,body_info.pos.y,body_info.pos.z,body_info.sides.x+0.2,body_info.sides.y-0.17,body_info.rot)
            end
            
        end
        
    end
)

So idk, it must be a problem to do with either the creation of the mod file, or the way mods work?

I can try to look over the mod file or something and check if I see something suspisios. rawr. But ye. Lua people should look further into this ofc.

EDIT: is that code you posted blam the lua code?

OMG, thanks so much melmoth. now hampa dosent have to put in starting stances into toribash (well not yet anyway) we just did it for him

*gives tampion a lolcookie*

so to test it i just copy the script and put it in my scrpits folder? and then you lcick on the scrpt ingame.... and hten you get the file from the mod folder? is that right?

code I posted was just to check for any really obvious errors.

can you make it prompt for a filename and then save in mod folder? im not really sure what to do with it. i just loaded it ingame with /ls stance.lua and i have no idea what it did.

makes a mod file in data/scripts/ called !test.tbm

ahhh thank you. im going off to make some stance mods....

wait nvm... still cant find it. i think i might be a problem with on how i load the script. does it automaticly make the file once i load it or do i have to press something?

He automatically create it.

The stance gets a bit off. the only think that goes right here, is the body parts. All the joints go abit off. The knee joint goes too much off so...
