Re: Polies dropped on POF export
Well, I tested that build with a model that was severely broken (it lost many polygons) if I tried to convert it with a regular PCS2 build.  The model didn't lose any polygons with the new BSP build.

I also tested that build with a model that was not broken.  None of the polygons were lost, and the model collided properly.

I haven't tested the BSP build with any other models, though...

Re: Polies dropped on POF export
I have tried the build and tried to break it by making some test models without triangulating, small triangles, etc. Works fine.

Re: Polies dropped on POF export
The new algorithm should never drop (or duplicate) polygons. My concern is whether anything breaks in-game.

Re: Polies dropped on POF export
Yeah, I tested them in game. As far as I can tell, nothing seemed broken.

Re: Polies dropped on POF export
Tested. Definitely worked in so far as models that were previously dropping polies left and right now stop doing that.

Re: Polies dropped on POF export
*bump*

I've got this problem now on a missile I'm working on, even when using the Feb 19 2001 build from Spicious.
The weird thing is that it only happens on the "external" variant of the missile (the one with the pylon), the actual missile model alone converts fine (see PCS2 screenshot below). It makes no difference if I triangulate the model before exporting to DAE or not.

Re: Polies dropped on POF export
Have you actually tried the build with the new BSP code found here?

Ah, I missed that link on the previous page and just clicked on Spicious' signature.
Yes, with the newer build, everything works fine.

Sorry for the herp-derp moment.
