Hey all,

I am working in production on a large amount of mocap files. I have several animations i have edited and can open just fine in my computer, however once i check them in to perforce and someone else tries to open it they get the error attached.

The crazy thing is if i save the file outside of my perforce branch and give it out directly everyone can open it, but if anyone else checks it in only they can reopen it.

Is there any known issues with perforce for these files? I am kind of in a bind here sitting on large amount of files, has anyone ran in to this before?

If i say continue a message pops up saying the File is Corrupted…

Version: motionbuilder 2009

Hi Adam,

You should contact the Autodesk Support team so that they can look into this issue.

It sounds like there may be an issue in saving files across network or configuration problem in how Perforce setup manages check-in/check-out of the files.

Best Regards,

Lee

Did you ever get around this issue or find a solution?

I’m having issues that it sound like they could be the same as yours. I’ve only observed it with files saved as ascii.

Just wanted to say that this turned out to be an issue of Perforce confusing ascii and binary.

The solution is to add the MotionBuilder file type (.fbx) to the Perforce type map as Binary. This way you should not experience the corruption problem - whether you save as ASCII or Binary or a bit of both.
