...Oh.

Tell that to this model which has 50 or 51 .vta files for the flexes (I don't know why, either). :P
Edit: Nevermind, I misunderstood that. But I meant like placing the checkbox somewhere outside the import place.

Also, semi-related, do you think you can make a checkbox somewhere that if checked or unchecked, you decide, .vta imports where not all vertices are "found" will not make a .vta vertice object? It will still say that 188 (0%) vertices or such were unmatched, of course, just without the .vta vertice object being created.

Yeah, a bug, alright, so, I tried importing an .smd model (vz_mare_nolash) and .vta flex (l_angry.vta), now that the tools allow up to .0625 or such variation of vertices, like StudioMDL... but the compiled model's flex doesn't look like http://sta.sh/01ckk4qi0o3u.

Related .smd and .vta files: http://sta.sh/21az7a9q17b4
Upon checking, it seems the .vta imports just fine on vz_mare_lash, but is derpful on vz_mare_nolash. Therefore, I uploaded vz_mare_lash, too. Note that the .vta is based on the mesh with eyelashes.

I installed Blender with the installer, and it works for me.

I can confirm that... that... that I can import .smd models with Blender 2.69 with the Blender Source Tools 2.0 on a 64-bit Windows 7 laptop. Can't help with this.

Edit: Changed "I can confirm that... I can import >" to "I can confirm that... that... that I can import >" to hopefully reduce confusion about what I meant a little.

You're welcome, I guess.

You know, if you just set the Engine Path to the FilmMaker's StudioMDL, it selects the best possible .dmx version for that StudioMDL, unless it's pre-Orange Box, I think.
And you don't have to type @Artfunkel, as he will read every discussion anyway.

dere is anova topic bout dis alredy
(As some people may want to read it on English instead, here's the English version: "There is another topic about this bug already. It has nothing to do with the Blender Source Tools, it's just Blender's fault in generic, for all addons.")

I have no idea of how to make flex names seperate from flex controllers, but I know there is a "stereo" option for advanced flexes, which will do all I want, if I could merge the left and right flex into one. Thank you for telling me of the "New Shape Key From Mix" thing.

Not a bug report, just a question/suggestion.
Is it possible to import an .smd model, and for example import 2 .vta flexes into the same shape key?
Like if I want to convert an .smd model to .dmx, and the flexes for the mesh are all seperate, even left and right flexes are different .vta files, and I'd like to have for example "left_eyeclose" and "right_eyeclose"?
Underscores in .dmx flexes are thought of as "corrective shapes" and such, so...
I think that this is in no way going to be possible, ever, but at least it's worth asking.
