Problems with adding Control

Troubleshooting import-assets
1

Hi folks,

I have a problem with my models, imported from Blender 2.67.
I’ve created a scene, added some terrain and linked my model to the scene. Now I want to add a control on my model.
But if I right click on the model, choose “Add Control” and click on one of the three presented options, I get the following error:
[java]Error in scene!
(java.lang.NullPointerException)[/java]

I think it’s a problem with my models, because if I add an empty Node to my scene and try “Add Control” -> “Custom Control” then there’s no problem.

I’ve tried to import the .blend file directly and also used the OgreXMLexporter - Makes no difference, I get the same error no matter what.

The complete stack trace:

Your control causes a nullpointer exception. Check what happens when you create a new control with an empty constructor, thats what the SDK does.

3

But I haven’t even created a Control yet.
I get same error if I click on Charactor or Static RigidBody under “Add Control”. jME3 doesn’t even show the Wizard.

4

Actually it looks like two different NullPointerExceptions depending if I click Character, RigidBody or Custom Control.

In the first two cases the stack trace is this:

and in the latter I get the error described in the topic.
