TypeError: 'NoneType' object is unscriptable

[ardent red]

I get the error in the topic title (TypeError: 'NoneType' object is unscriptable) every time I export, and I've had no luck in trying to fix it. I know it has something to do with materials, as the previous line in the console said 'baseVertedIdx = len(materialGroups[mface.mat]["vertices"])'. I've tried exporting several times, and the error pops up on one of three objects everytime. Each have the same material applied- well, they do now. Other times when the error popped up, it thought the material was assigned, but it wasn't. I assigned the materal, and the problem stopped for that object. However, the error now comes on one object of the same group which has the material applied.

If it's important, a material called 'mface.mat' doesn't exist in the age.

What version of the plugin are you using?

Did you UV map the objects?

[ardent red]

I'm using plugin verson 1.4.0 release, and all three objects are UV-mapped.

Yes but is all the faces attached to that material?

ie find the "Link and Materials" tab under Editing F9
click deselect and then select, are all faces part of the material (mat 1 of 1)?


You'll also need to make sure the image is loaded through the "Texture Buttons" F6

I joined the three objects together so that it would be easier to fix (two less materials to alter), but the # mat # thing says 3 mat 2 rather than 1 mat 1. Is this a problem? Pressing the select button selects every face on the object, so that's not the reason for the error.

The .blend file for the age can be found here, if you'd like to take a look at it. The object causing all the problems is called 'Tusks', and is the one that looks like... three tusks.

The problem is that you have 2 vertex-material groups that are linked to non-existent materials. Try deleting all of the materials in the mesh buttons (f9)... the things on the far left. Then start fresh with the materials for your tusks (don't delete anything that say anything about "texture").

Also... I couldn't help but notice the very-vertiness of your age.
But I won't critique it.

Woo, no more errors! Thanks Lontahv, I'll try to be more organised with materials in the future- though I wish the system for deleting materials would get a bit easier.

Also... I couldn't help but notice the very-vertiness of your age.

tell me about it! The age lags a bit at the best of times, but when I upgraded to the new plugin, and wasn't aware of the default shadow rendering, I almost died from shock! But never fear- I've begun to purge my age of unnecessary vertices. Did you notice that the platforms were made from about a hundred or so cubes joined together? (I did that because when I was designing the support, I only did a little section and duplicated it- I never realized how bad my situation would become) Well, I've deleted all of those platform 'modules', and remade the platorms from indvidual stretched cubes, so each one only has 6 vertices instead of 600. Is there anything which I can do to get rid of vertices automatically, though, because the vertex-heavy tusks wouldn't be terribly fun to edit manually?

2 things can help, but you need to be in edit mode with the object selected

Remove doubles
or
apply a decimate modifier
