Alright. I've produced a ton of models for my mod so far.
Most you all have already seen. However, I have one problem above all others, that I have only mentioned off-hand in IRC. Since there seems to be few modelers in IRC, I am going to put it out here, for all to see.
My models have inverted bounding boxes. FSO_Debug screams at me. And I'll be honest, I have no clue what a bounding box is, or how to make sure it ISN'T inverted.
So I'm appealing to my fellow modelers who have a lot more experience than I with this Engine, to explain to me, what causes an inverted bounding box, and how to fix it.
What's bringing all this up is that, Myself, AndrewofDoom, and a few alpha-testers, tried to run our first ever multi-player match of Stellar Assault. Every attempt ended with a Crash-to-Desktop. (For the clients, the host did not experience this). We ran debug, and got spammed with bounding box errors. Now we've known about them for a while, and I doubt they are the cause for the CTD in Multi, but we can't find the cause for the CTD until with fix the Bounding Box problem.

Be careful of the inverted bounding box error. When you save a pof from RC2A, the bounding box gets inverted, and this can cause strangeness in-game. To fix it, open the pof in PCS 2.0.3 and go the "Data" dropdown menu. Second item from the bottom is "Purge BSP Cache." Click this, then resave the model and your bounding boxes will be a-ok.

While it's excellent advice, I totally didn't say that.

Be sure to check your normals after the flip. You might just end up with all your weapons firing into the model or not firing at all.
