Still can't convert my Anuket...

Bobboau · **Reply #21 on:** October 08, 2003, 07:53:21 pm

what exactly happens?
what exactly are you doing?

Taristin · **Reply #22 on:** October 08, 2003, 07:55:46 pm

I use the subdivide button on the mesh, then use the 'extract final mesh from subdivide object' button, recombine the LOD's from the original, with the high-poly one replacing the original LOD-a, then I save the whole bit as a cob.

I open PCS, click cob to pof, and it does one of 2 things: 1 - Crashes immediately, or 2 - Holds for 3 seconds, then crashes...

Bobboau · **Reply #23 on:** October 08, 2003, 07:58:07 pm

by crashes, is that illigal operation, closes down, or just doesn't seem to be doing anything (like it locks up and you can't do anything but ctrl alt del and close it)?

I get the generic win2k error message: "PCS.exe has generated errors and will be closed by windows." This time around it held for about 6 seconds, and the tabs all disappeared, then I got the death notice.

hmm, how may polys is it again?
maybe you shuld put it up and let me take a crack at it.

Taristin · **Reply #26 on:** October 08, 2003, 08:28:46 pm

All LOD's, turrets, destroyed turrets and debris combined is 14423 polies (In TS)

Here it is uploaded...(600k)

It's probably that my PC isn't powerful enough to convert it, because even a loley persues, without all of the subdivision, only a little quad-dividing on the round bits won't convert.

Bobboau · **Reply #27 on:** October 08, 2003, 09:02:10 pm

you'r higherarchy is all screwed up, all those turrets need lights, and the main LOD was in a sub object to the lowest LOD
I think you took it one too many subdivisions, I havn't tested poly ounts quite this high, though it is alredy triangulated, so it might be ok

Taristin · **Reply #28 on:** October 08, 2003, 09:04:19 pm

...? It looked normal in TrueView, and I could have sworn I had lights on each and every one of those turrets.

It's level 2 subdivide, but you said 10-20k polies, no? The main body is only like 8k... Stupid Truespace...

Bobboau · **Reply #29 on:** October 08, 2003, 09:08:39 pm

it won't let me save...
Stupid Truespace...
and it might (should) work, I just havn't tested quite that high yet
oh, I got the cob to convert, took 33 seconds on my athlon 3000, though it will have the incorect hierachy

Taristin · **Reply #30 on:** October 08, 2003, 09:13:37 pm

I just fixed everything, and still PCS crashes, do you want another copy?

Edit: Oh, I guess not...

Bobboau · **Reply #31 on:** October 08, 2003, 09:14:33 pm

Taristin · **Reply #32 on:** October 08, 2003, 09:16:25 pm

Try that original link again, I re-uploaded it.

Bobboau · **Reply #33 on:** October 08, 2003, 09:23:27 pm

actualy that's even worse than before, the mining claw seems to be missing now,
what version of TS are you useing?

Taristin · **Reply #34 on:** October 08, 2003, 09:26:05 pm

TS6 for that one... And everything is fine in TrueView, like I said...

Taristin · **Reply #35 on:** October 08, 2003, 09:28:06 pm

Bobboau · **Reply #36 on:** October 08, 2003, 09:28:35 pm

for simplicity sake why not just cut the lower detail levels

Bobboau · **Reply #37 on:** October 08, 2003, 09:30:33 pm

the abstract group miner02va-hull should have all the lower detail levels in it and be the top of thr group

Taristin · **Reply #38 on:** October 08, 2003, 09:31:56 pm

Debris too? Yeah, I guess...

Edit: Really? This has always worked for me before... but I guess we can try this again...
