Milkshape Export Woes

Hmmm

Well I've used milkshape to modify the car shape in the Racing mod, export it, but when I run the game I get the following:

Fatal: (D:torque\engine\ts\tsmateriallist.cc @)

TSMaterialList::getFlags: index out of range

I seem to be doing something wrong with exporting the materials but I can't figure out what. I have the materials (.png files) in the same directory as the .dts...

Are you running the DEBUG build? Do you have have a material assigned for the wheels ? If so, is it the only material ? If not, try rolling them all into one material. Also, don't use any special options materials, like scaling. This error happened to me when:

1) I had more than one material *and*
2) was running with the DEBUG build.

There is a fatal assert in the DEBUG build that doesn't like the way materials are handled for the wheels...

hmm, I didn't know there were any material problems with the MS exporter. Gil, if you send me the files (ms & jpgs). I can take a quick look.

I ran into the same problem. Remove the opt:'s from your material list and see what happens .... I was getting the same thing when the only material I had was one of the special 'opt:'s. I thought I sent a message to Tim about this.

That would be my guess... havent' tested it yet, but can you check to make sure that you haven't textured any meshes with one of the "opt:" materials? If that's what's causing it, I'll see about getting a fix in.

Thanks for your posts... I ended up exporting them as 3DS meshes and doing it in MAX...

I'll try to replicate the problem and send you the files...
