Hey
i tried to compile a model in the assetmanager, and i got this Error:


i reduced the vertexes from over 16.000 to 4.000, 2.000 and now 954 but still the same error
what did i do wrong? it was a simple castle-tower btw..

this error occurs if vert numbers are skipped or doubled in the vertex segment of an xmodel_export file, e.g.:

VERT 6
OFFSET -1.000000, -1.000000, 1.000000
BONES 1
BONE 0 1.000000

VERT 8
OFFSET -1.000000, 1.000000, 1.000000
BONES 1
BONE 0 1.000000

VERT 7 is missing, perhaps happened 'cause you deleted a vertex in Blender/Maya and it did not update the subsequent indices.

As for Blender, i'll change my BlenderCoD code to not use the given indices but count myself:

file.write("VERT %i\n" % (v.index+v_count))

Will post a hotfix in an hour

cool thanks again

Well, i can fix your error easily, but there's another problem with the enumeration. Vertices, which aren't used by a face aren't taken into account when total number of verts is calculated. Need to find a way to get around this...

Update:
Dowload Blender-CoD Addon v0.3.2 (alpha 3)

- Issue #4 fixed - Vertex number out of sync error / Vert enumeration.
If there are vertices in a mesh, which aren't used by any face, they won't be written to the output file. Now taken into account for vertex count. Enumeration of vertices now done via script and not taken from Blender data, as gaps / duplicates in indices occured.

- Issue #2 fixed - Error on export if using "Pose animation".
The pose to model sequence feature now disables Armature export to prevent this error. Fixed, unless anyone needs Pose animation with Armature.

Should handle problematic meshes properly now.

Okay, this works now

but it gives me this error instead:
i reduced my model to around 250 vertexes, can you tell me what is the issue?

hm interesting...

looks like bad verts cause more than out of sync error. this is probably in the faces section, not vertices

can you post line 6097 and some sorrounding lines so i can see whats going on?
And please post the NUMVERTS count too! (or just send me the entire file)

this one has ~700 verts but its the same model

i think i know why... faces are made up of 3 vertices each, a face references 3 vertices by their index numbers. As the script drops invalid verts and calculates its own indices, the faces link to the wrong verts, and in some cases to not even existing verts. Thats causing the error.

Well, i'm not sure yet how to solve this. I'll see if a remapping would work...

In the meanwhile you should check your model for bad vertices (not linked to a face), or edges (two connected verts, but not parts of a face). There has to be a reason why my script considers some verts as invalid.

ok, tested your blender file and got the same error.
NUMVERTS is 1055 and there's a reference to VERT 1055 (which doesn't exist, 1055 verts = VERT 0 to 1054)

But i was able to solve it: Went to Edit-mode, selected everything, Mesh > Vertices > Remove doubles

It removed 4 verts and error vanished.

Looks quite good, i just replaced your materials with a random one.
