Title: Odd conversion problem
Post by: diamondgeezer on August 23, 2003, 04:07:07 am

Hmm... I tracked down the cause of my problems with converting my model to the second thruster. It seems that the model will convert as long as I don't add the second thruster. The scary thing it, the offending subobject is a clone of the first thruster, which seems to work perfectly. They're called thruster01a and thruster02a, which has always worked in the past.

Thoughts?

[EDIT] Fix0red. Redid the thrusters from scratch. I love FS modding.

Is that sarcasm I detect? :D

It's annoying when you have to start from nearly square one all over again....

Well I just discovered that my SA-43 is three sizes too lage, so I'll have to reconvert it... but that means all the groupings wil go to hell... bah. Well, at least I got my new baby working. It's got a really big gun.

OK, why is PCS telling me this:

Stack overflow protextion was engaged
Please correct the errors in the model (too many polygons in the same average location)

The POF was just fine, I converted it to COB and when I converted it back again I got this message. All I did was reposition some lights (after they'd been put at 0,0,0 by PCS)

I got this error before because a made a small madel in Truespace and then used a large magnification factor on the PCX converter. Try increasing the size of the model in Truespace and decreasing the scale factor?

It... converts with a scaling factor of one 1, but not with a factor of 2. :wtf: Kazan obviously takes many illegal drugs.
