fatal error when clicking the exporter button in maya

I'd hate to necro, but I'm having the same issue. How'd you fix it?

You want to check your clausewitz.txt file found in My Documents\Paradox Interactive\PdxExporter\settings to have the correct paths to the game folder and .exe scripted.

It looks like this:

path s 1 "E:/hoi4/game"
target_exe s 1 "E:/hoi4/game/hoi4.exe"

 

[K-vald]

My path has been set to

path s 1 "D:/Steam/steamapps/common/Hearts of Iron IV"
    target_exe s 1 "D:/Steam/steamapps/common/Hearts of Iron IV/hoi4.exe"

yet the error persists. I've looked up the error on Maya forums and attempted their fixes, but nothing seems to give. I can only imagine it has to do with the Clausewitz Exporter.

What Maya version are you using?

 

[K-vald]

Ok, that should of course work.

Can you please post the entire content of your clausewitz.txt file (or upload it)?

 

[K-vald]

That seems to be correct, but you should use the shader "PdxMeshAdvanced" for Hearts of Iron IV meshes, just mentioning it.

Anyway, can you please now check the version number (including MLL version) of the exporter? Just open it up in Maya and check what is said on the top of the window.

 

[K-vald]

Alright, I see no reason why it would crash. Could you please send me your Maya file and I will see if it works here?

 

[K-vald]

It's alright. Yeah, the .mb (or .ma) file and the textures should be enough.

Hopefully this will work for you

I took a look at your file and it crashed for me too. I would like to check if it can be because you are using a student version of Maya so I have created a basic scene here which I can export and I'd like you to try to export it and see if it still crashes for you. I assigned some empty textures to it so don't worry about that.

I attached the file to this post.
