WickedWhims Animations XML Tuning file generator

View File

---

Hello everyone,
I decided to try making my own animations and, while they are completely far from what I would like to see in my game, I wrote a small application to simplify the process of filling out the WW XML Tuning file.

So this content may be of interest only to those who are already making animations or planning to.

Description

The current version can generate the most simple XML.

Example:

Features:

• Automatic generation of Decimal/Hex values based on your package name
• Possibility to add many animations
  • Toggle select locations/tags
• Possibility to add many actors
  • With many interactions
• Correct destination file name
• (new) Edit existing XML file

 

 

This is WIP, so don't expect 100% stable work.

I look forward to your comments. I have some plans for the development of this utility, but they largely depend on demand.

 

Future plans:

• Edit existing XML support (DONE)
• Extend with other optional XML parts
  • animation_props_list
  • animation_events_list
  • etc.
• Implement .package generation (too many applications are required at the moment to generate one file ? )

Omg this is gold.  I'll give this a go at some point after I figure out how to make my animations look nice.

[ColonolNutty]

You should make a version that works with Devious Desires too.

[becqut]

looks really cool. don't give up this case. ill try it later, i think

[Alexander505]

Awesome work, I was able to set one of my own animations in just two minutes, the software is very well made and super easy to use. Your work is gold, and extremely important for any animator, hope to see props and events soon. Good luck with your work.

Edited March 13, 2022 by Alexander505

[wyler]

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I plan to add props and events as soon as I understand them myself  Now the priority is a little refactoring as well as the ability to edit existing XML.

I do not use DD myself and do not know how the configuration file is arranged in it. Perhaps I will consider DD support when all the desired features for WW are implemented.

[Alexander505]

Yep, editing existing XML file is more important, but for now I could use the file that your software made and then adding other animations manually, my main problem was how to start from zero an XML file, but your software made the hard work for me ahah. Do you think adding props is technically possible? It seems very hard to make..just asking, I'm totally ignorant with all this stuff

 

Thanks again

Props and events are just lists, just like a list of actors. It's pretty easy to add them. I didn't add them right away because I didn't have time to figure out how to properly use them in my animations. (today I have only three of them and I plan to complete the series with an animation where props are needed)
 

Almost done editing. I need to look at the code one more time with a fresh mind. I need to take into account generating and reading "optional" fields like animation_tags

Ok, thanks for the info..I did make some animation with props myself but they're CAS objects..You'll publish your animation on LL or you'll keep them private?

I'm still experimenting with Blender, so mostly my animations are WIP. Hope to release them some day ?

[LaBambaClub]

This is very interesting! My main problem with creating animations was the complicated process of adding animations into the game and editing existing animations. I will be following the progress of this as it might make me try animating again

I really hope to see more new works from you, if this utility makes your work easier.

I spent a lot of time on my first animation (from an empty blender file to a game test) and creating the XML config file seemed to be both the bottleneck (easy to make a mistake) and also the easiest to automate.

[Alexander505]

I always thought there would be much more animators by now if they had a few years ago a software like this, the main problem for many people is the XML file rather than making animations.

1.2.0 is here

 

 

Features:

• Animation Events
  • Custom UI for each event type
  • Smart validation (for instance, the target may only start with 'a' or 'b' and must contain an only number as id)
  • VFX event name autocomplete (just start typing)
  • Event restrictions
• General Improvements
  • Additional validations
  • Newly created actor sex type now depends on animation sex category (for example, if animation sex category is Vaginal, all new actors will have sex type Vaginal by default)
  • All new actor interactions inherit their sex type from the actor by default
  • By default, new actor interaction has one cum layer: None
  • Scroll Bar is updated to cover the whole window
  • Possibility to resize the window

Everyone is strong in their own way. For me, the most difficult part of the process is the animation. This area is not familiar to me and I spend a lot of time on details.
Creating a package, filling in XML seems much easier to me, but it's easy to make a mistake there.
 

Example of my work few days ago.

I've read quite a few threads on the forum about animation, got a lot of insight, but of course still have a lot of questions.

[Alexander505]

That animation is quite good actually, maybe you're to demanding on yourself XD..

Thanks for the update btw, one question: the cum effect allow to add the cum mesh by Cherrypie?

I guess the cum effect is just an entry point for rendering WW cum layers. CherryPie's requires prop and own animation clip.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

 

UPD:

CUM (applies cum layer on Sim)

 

Variable 'cum_layer_type’ is the cum type that will be applied on the 'event_target’ at the set 'event_start_timecode’ timecode.

You're right, the cum mesh is a rig, so is like a prop.

 

I'm trying to add an event, both timecode must be set in decimal numbers, so, if I want that an event starts to 30th frame, so 30*0,03333334 = 1,0, so, starting timecode should be 0.016? and if I want that an event doesn't end, I just set 999 in the ending timecode. Right?

Source -> Paragraph 4

If you want an event to start from 30th frame, you need to set start time to 1.0000002 (30*0,03333334).
Regarding 999, you're right.

I'm trying to test very quickly a short animation involving a man peeing, is just a test, I want to start the animation at 30th frame and ending to 453th frame (the animation have 500 frame max), that's the data on XML file. The vfx don't show up during the animation, what I did get wrong? ?

I guess you misspelled joint name. It should have two underscore's after 'b' -> b__Penis_Tip

[wyler]

If someone can get me a list of all the bones for the actors, I could do the same auto-completion as for the VFX text box

[Alexander505]

Thank you, now it worked...what a stupid mistake ?

As a new animator this tool will be extremely useful to simplify the XML process, thank you! ?
