MshEx Beta 3

[Tourny]

Ok, thank you.

[Tourny]

When it says "IVRT: 40" it crashes. I think it might just be a Vista crash, though.

[YouJediJunkie]

I guess the topic will be locked soon but...

I am on Vista and the tool runs fine for me, so I doubt that is your problem. But who knows?

[Tourny]

YOu're probably right about the forum, but my friend on XP just had the same crash. WOuld that make it the model?

[Fiodis]

It is a problem with the model or your export settings.

[Tourny]

And then he tried just a simple model and it still crashed.

EDIT: On a Note of Clarification: (then I'll leave this topic alone):

My Crosswalk says "Convert Meshes to Triangles" is that the same as Geometry to Triangles?

Two things you should do before seeking help here:
1. Make sure that you followed all the rules. It seems like many a time that people don't add a texture and then wonder why it crashes.
2. Export the model as a Wavefront OBJ then import it back into XSI before exporting it for MshEx. This will ensure compatibility with MshEx if you followed all the rules (or at least it has so far).

[Tourny]

...You have to add a texture?...

This is like the 3rd time you've helped me, Frisbeetarian...

[DarthD.U.C.K.]

yes..

I was wondering how to get crosswalk 2.6 since the the link in the beginning of this topic leads to a page with only crosswalk 3.11? (I guess they discontinued 2.6 since 2008[start of this topic date])
Is MSHex forward compatible to new versons of crosswalk?
TY for any replys!

[mswf]

If I'm right, it already comes with XSI modtools.

[Fluffy_the_ic]

I use Crosswalk 3.11. It works fine. He meant crosswalk 2.6 and up.

[newguy99]

Ok, cool!
Thanks for the quick answer

whenever i try converting my object i get an unhandled win32 exception, i still get a msh file, but it is significantly smaller (in this case the xsi file is 748 kb while the msh is only 124 kb) and ZE crashes when i try to use it.

the data on mshex goes:

Code: Select all

IVRT IS NOW: 2367

After that it keeps on increasing the number by 1 until it gets to 2661
then it goes:

Code: Select all

IVRT2: 2661
writing posls
poslndx size3312
uv size0

then it stops and i get the exception.

as far as i know i am doing everything right, but what do you guys mean by adding the texture, do you mean in xsi or mshex?

[RepSharpshooter]

It must have UV coordinates which it looks like you don't.

[Thunderstorm025]

ah ok so how do i set the coordinates?

[mswf]

It means that your model needs to be textured first. (check if your model has textures applied to it in whatever program you used to create your model.)

[Thunderstorm025]

Yeah i have a texture applied to it

but would it cause coordinate problems if i froze the transformations?
also does rotating/moving the texture supports count as more than 1 texture projection?

[RepSharpshooter]

Just export it as an OBJ and import it again, this is a fool-proof way to make sure it's compatible.

[Thunderstorm025]

i cant because xsi 7.5 for some reason doesn't let me export obj files
