Look here http://www.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=17907&b=3 for mesh deformation setup.

For limbed animation turn to DirectX Retained Mode

or just use the "Direct X 8.0" exporter, not the JT one. it works fine for me with bone-animated models. if you have had milkshape a while you may need to re-download the exporter, it has probably been updated.

I can't get either one to properly export my model with boned mesh deformation. Could be I'm doing something wrong. I've used the settings mentioned in the link above and tried several others. When I try viewing in in DBP's model viewer I get a mess.

You can download my model from here:

It's in Milkshape format - if anyone can export it to an x file with boned mesh deformation then maybe you could tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Your model animation works fine.
You can download file, screenshot from exporter and dbpcode here:

Your model have some wertices not conected in middle part, you can see it on finalanim.x which is your original model. Just replace "finalanim2.x" with "finalanim.x" in code and you see what I mean.

You should snap them together one by one and then weld them together.
I was also changing smoothing groups since all your faces were in the same one.

Thanks Arras!

I got it to work by fiddling here too. I didn't use JT exporter - just the directx exporter. Also, the browser program I was using was probably compiled with an older version of DBP. It wasn't showing the models properly. Everything worked with my own recently compiled code.

Huzzah!

Thanks again, also I fixed the unwelded vertixes and cleaned up the model.
