How to use the animation exporter

[Snivy]

This is a very simple tutorial, but it may prove useful for some people. There is a video here: Brawl Animation Tutorial: Animation Exporter Post any questions below.

Note: All bones must be a child of a bone called, "TopN."
Note2: If you want to replace an animation with your animation, follow these steps:
            1. Import your animation.
            2. Export the animation as a CHR0.
            3. Open the FitCharMotionEtc.pac for your intended character.
            4. Replace the old animation with the new animation.

The first bone has to be named "TopN" for the script to work. Just remember to keep that in mind, K?

So theoretically, with this technique, is it possible to create a custom animation for Peach (such as a custom grab/attack animation using the Key Frame option)? After you import it into Brawl Box how would use it to replace the grab attack animation in FitCharMotionEtc.pac?

You would have to open BrawlBox, make a new BRRES, right click on it, select import character animation and open the dialog, go to the drop down menu and click on raw text (.txt), import your animation, then export the animation as a CHR0, then open the FitPeachMotionEtc, find your animation, and right-click on it and replace it with your new animation. Simple as that.

I dont care if Im warned for necroposting, I need help with the problem I got using this method
I tried a simple animation to test it

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

and I imported the .txt and all fine, just when I tried to load the animation, it showed this

Can I get a copy of the .max save file? (I think it's OK to necropost, as long as it is relevant.)
I might be able to figure out what is causing it.
EDIT: I'm having problems with the exporter too, it might be BB, or the script. This only seems to be occurring with CFalcon's bones, though... (It's only getting one of his bones rotating.)
EDIT2: While trying to check when what stopped working, this reared it's ugly head at me in .67b and lower, using the animation exporter from the downloaded .zip.

maybe this only happens with captain's models, ill try with other character model

Is there any chance you could upload the text file it gave after running the script? Or just pasting its content here would be fine too. I want to make a similar plugin but for Maya so I need to study how the file works.
