Did you hardcode the engine to limit 17 bones per skinmesh?

Subject says it all. I have tested skinmesh with 18 bones and they have compiled and do not cause crashes. I just think it would of been nice if you let us know. I guess the professional Team of DLA has done the same thing Halaster model has 18 bones and now has a third foot in it model in EE version. I left a message in CC forums so people can check their skinmesh models and fix them.

    Bump. I'm curious to know about this too. A friend of mine went to school for animation/rigging and is interested in coming back to the NWN community to see what he can do with the animations.

    Was this a new limit added to the system, because this does not affect the same models in 1.69?

    I'm necro'ing this post because it has a dev comment pertaining to the issue...

    It certainly appears that there is a 17 bone limit on skinmeshes now; any bone beyond that is ignored by the engine. I've tested and reliably duplicated the issue, but I haven't seen any comment on whether the team is aware of the problem or not. I haven't been totally attentive on the boards of late, so if there's something I've missed that renders this old news, I'd appreciate being pointed in the right direction.

    Yes, it is "old news". The issue is understood and will be fixed in one of the future patches, likely with the changes to enable 64bit.

    The 17 bone limit has been a long-standing limitation of Neverwinter Nights. We’re working on expanding the bone limit, and that will be included with the 64-bit update for Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition.
