Helmet prop causes ZeroEditor to crash [Solved]

I imported a clone msh into Softimage and deleted the body, leaving just the helmet. I then highlighted the helmet and exported as msh, it looks fine in the msh viewer. I then moved the msh file and textures and made an odf with this in it:
however upon selecting this odf in ZE, it immediately crashes, I'm thinking it may have something to do with the model still having some properties of a character model, but I'm not sure
EDIT: Seems like it also makes modelmunge.exe crash as well

How many polygons is it?

I'm not sure where to find the number of polys it has but its a working BF2 rigged model so I wouldn't think of the poly count being the cause?

Nope -- but it's the first thing I thought of. When things are super complex they can crash ZeroEdit. I would double check your ODF file and check the two GeometryName entries. The one in the [GameObjectClass] section should say something like "MyCoolHelmet.msh" while the one in [Properties] should only be "MyCoolHelmet" without .msh at the end.

That's what it is
Do you know if there's anything I have to delete in the model to make it work as a prop? Like something to do with character animations or rigging or something?
EDIT: I fixed it, I had to delete something called
EnvelopWeightCls and now it works perfectly
