Title: PCS error
Post by: MicroPsycho on January 15, 2006, 04:43:32 pm

I don't have much experience with PCS and i'd like some clarification as to what this means and how I fix it.

From the Wiki:

Quote

If it gives a "Too many polygons in same average location!" error, it can mean one (or both) of two things. Either there is a duplicate of one of the objects in the SCN in the EXACT same position as another of the EXACT same shape and size, or your object is too small in TS for it to be able to clearly tell the difference between polygon locations.

To fix the first problem, find the duplicate object and delete or move it. To fix the second, scale the whole ship up in TrueSpace to the size you want it to appear as in Freespace - meter for meter. Then, before converting, set PCS's scaleing to 1 rather than 20 and convert. That should fix it by telling PCS that one TrueSpace meter should equal one Freespace meter.

Hope that helps. :)
