MshEx Beta 2 - much better

[tsurugi13]

Do you have the hedr file in the same directory as mshex? When does it not work?

[redgroupclan]

Yes I have hedr in there. Unless custom models are supposed to be grey in ZE, then thats where it messes up.

P.S. On nulls do I uncheck Render Visibility? That has been taunting me ever since that dang beginners tutorial messed me up.

[Eagle Eye]

question, can i have more then 1 object under a null or do i need to merge all objects?

[Caleb1117]

You should merge them.

[Eagle Eye]

You should merge them.

if i merge all objects (with textures) into 1 merged object, all the clusters (texture coordinates) of the objects will move to that merged object. So there is more then 1 cluster within the merged object..
Repsharpshooter said that a polygon has to be one and only one cluster at a time.
so i get a problem lol

Ok, so I havent had any problems with this lately... but I've gotten a rather, strange, result with one of my models. I made sure to check/uncheck all the appropriate stuff, exported as XSI 6.0 (text), I also exported as a .obj and reimported. But when I ran MshEx with it, instead of change it to a .msh, it changed it to a .mtl, which I have no idea what is, or any idea why...

[FragMe!]

The .mtl file is the material reference file that gets created when you do a obj export.
The exported msh file should be there somewhere, do a search in windows explorer for the name of your file and it should find it.

[Blade]

Ah, that explains it... sorry about that. Now I just need to find the .msh.

[jedi_pilot]

Finally, I can export my models, FOR FREE !!!! Thank you .

[theultimat]

Weird error! What does it mean?

[Maveritchell]

That's not an error... that's MshEx doing its thing. Let it keep going, it'll pause sometimes.

[redgroupclan]

I think he means it crashes at that-its happened to me too. It crashes right on that line.

[theultimat]

It comes up with this:



EDIT:
Actually, I tried placing the msh in ZE. It froze. Then I tried munging the msh. I got these errors:

Code: Select all

ERROR[PC_modelmunge bas_fly_hawk_200.msh]:NO POLY COUNT FOR bas_fly_hawk_200:  THIS IS VERY BAD

you have to put all your models under the dummyroot and export them with the dummyroot with the 3rd mousebutton selected

[theultimat]

Is a null a dummyroot? Because I have it under a null ATM.

[DarthD.U.C.K.]

Is a null a dummyroot? Because I have it under a null ATM.

no the dummyroot is a null

did you select the null when exporting?

[theultimat]

Yeah.

[Fluffy_the_ic]

He means did you middle mouse click the null? You know, push down on the mouse wheel?

[redgroupclan]

Hidden/Spoiler:

If you see any flaws that could cause my models to turn out grey, notify me.

[DarthD.U.C.K.]

do you have the textures in the MSH-folder?

@fluffy: yes
