Erm, can anyone explain to me why this thing would crash when converting a COB to a POF?

What have the cob for a size how many kb's ?

[KARMA]

if you talk about 1.34 it sound like a problem i had with double edges

if you can't solve try older versions of pcs or try cob2fs2

[Amon_Re]

I tried cob2fs2 that worked properly, however, loading the pof into modelview showed nothing...

I'm just toying abit with imagine objects i got laying arround, these are very old, but small models (less then 200k in size).

But it's not  that important for me atm, i'm not in a rush

How many polys does the model have? FS2 doesn't much like things with over 750 polys in any particular sub-object so PCS tends to also have problems with anything that has too many polys.

[Amon_Re]

Hmm.... that might be it, it's a converted imagine object, so the whole thing is just one object.... no subs or anything (dunno how to decompose it in TS)

you use the decompose into subobjects tool, it looks sort of like a stick figure with all the parts seperated, were it is depends on wich version of TS you are useing

[TrashMan]

Perhaps too many subobjects....

Say..I have a problem. PCS chrashes when I try to convert a shielded capship. (4LODs + shield, LOD0 has 96 subobjects)
Anyone have a clue?

[KARMA]

you have to count all the subobjects, lods and shields and destroyable versions etcetc.
evrything that isn't the main geometry at the base of the root

[TrashMan]

There are no destroyed versions.
4 LODs
60 normal turrets (boxes)
18 barreled turrets - 32 subobjects
1 shield (it is triangulated)

Thx for the hint Bobboau, but i couldn't select decompose, it was greyed out, but i'll look back into it lateron, it can wait for now

TrashMan can you me send the model at the evening ?

[KARMA]

convert the subobjects individually to see if there is one (or more) particular object crashing pcs

Select the object you want to decompose before trying to use the tool.
