Post by: Titan on September 06, 2007, 03:03:09 pm

Don't ever use modview to convert COBs. It will corrupt their collision meshes in horrible ways.

About the PCS error, I expect it is this one: (From the PCS page in the wiki: http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/POF_Constructor_Suite)
If PCS gives a "You forgot to group those objects!" error message during COB > POF conversions, it just means that you need to glue a local light to the main hull object in Truespace. (This usually only occurs when PCS encounters a piece of geometry not glued to anything, such as a test hull for conversion or a forgotten bit just lying about your workspace)

Plus if you upload the mesh, maybe someone will look at it! Kinda hard to analyze what you can't see.
