Once a Linux build is working, OSX shouldn't be much trouble, but you'd be on your own for compiling it.

[chief1983]

Bah, I'll try and figure it out if they can get linux working maybe.

Spicious, your PCS2 with Collada file is missing the VC90 support files to get PCS2 to properly work. It's saying it can't find Microsoft.blah-blah.VC90.crt, which as I understand is part of the deployment package for Visual C++ version 9 (?) packages? Since I apparently haven't installed any software that was based off of Visual C++ 9, I can't get PCS2 to work. I have found VC80.crt files on my system, but it isn't using those.

Can you suggest anything to help?

I'm pretty sure the necessary file is linked on the wiki...

Do you have a link to the area it is in?


EDIT: Nevermind. Found it at wiki. Thanks for the help!

    Just search for "collada": http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Collada_Importer. I think the file you're looking for is near the bottom but I don't know what exactly you need.

[dragonsniper]

Yep, I found it. Thanks a lot for the help. I can only hope it works...

Spicious, hate to tell you this but your Alpha release of PCS2 in your signature doesn't open or save .pof files at all. A huge dilemma that I have about Maya and converting could be fixed once this is fixed.  Just thought that I would inform you of that.

Just updated to the latest version (didn't realise I'd fallen behind), and yeah - I'm getting crashes upon loading any POF. It seems to fully load and display the model before it crashes though.

I presume the 4 'wx' dlls go in the root PCS2 folder with the exe?

[Spicious]

Probably not my fault. I just updated to the latest CVS code. I'll try to have a look this weekend though. Work during the week is surprisingly time consuming.

Yes, the dlls should go with the exe.

[chief1983]

Ah...Kazan did say he was going to start doing some more work on it.  I'd have stuck with the stable code for now though.  Oh well.

[Vasudan Admiral]

Errm, any chance it could be rolled back to the previous version if you can't spot the fix, or does anyone have the older version lying around? I overwrote the previous DAE conversion exe with this latest one, so now I can't convert DAEs at all. :\

[dragonsniper]

Maybe this will help. After PCS2 was loaded I clicked on "Use Orthographic Projection" and then went to "file" and clicked on "open". I opened a .pof file from my FreeSpace folder and this error came up. This happens to any .pof file I load when I click on "Use Orthographic Projection." Maybe it's related to the problem of not being able to open any .pof file? Hope it helps.

Woo! Thanks.

[Spicious]

I've updated to the latest CVS code and it seems to be less unstable now. Feel free to try it out.

Is it the one in your signature?

[dragonsniper]

Sorry... I see now it's a different build, but I'm still having the same problems and the same errors.

Would you happen to have a debug version of PCS2 that would provide some level of verbosity (in a text file or something?) to what it's doing that might help you trace the error to a specific location / function in your code?

Is it possible the problem is somehow related to the wx* .dll files you have included? It seems as though every version of PCS2 that has had these wx files has produced these problems. Just trying to help... Thanks.

[Vasudan Admiral]

Yeah still crashing when it finishes loading here too.

[Goober5000]

Wow, I had no idea this was such a huge thread.  I ought to split it and make it a sticky in FS Modding or FS Upgrade.

Where should I split it?  I think when the Collada exporter was finished is a good place, but I don't know when that happened.
