Wings Xmesh converter troubles

[reaper]

Hey, I'm trying to import one of my own ships into VegaStrike, but the xmesh exporter is crashing with the following junk:


Exporter crashed:function_clause
[{e3d_xmesh,export,
["/Users/grog/Desktop/temp2/ship6.xunit",
{e3d_file,[{e3d_object,"cube1",
{e3d_mesh,
polygon,

[]|...},
[],
[]}],

{maps,[{...}]}]},

[{export_as_cockpit,false},
{ignore_config,true},
{export_images,true},

{wpc_xmesh,export_1,4},
{wings_export,export,4},
{wpa,'-export_filename/2-fun-0',3},
{wings_plugin,command,3},
{wings,do_command_1,2},
{wings,raw_command,3},
{wings_wm,handleevent,3},
{wings_wm,send_event,2}]

It seems to be choking on lighting which I had at one time, but deleted--also restarted wings and still have the same problem. Any help appreciated!!

Sorry, this output isn't really helpful.

Maybe you are using non-UV-material (=vertex color...) somewhere? I think this is one reason for a crash/break on export.

If that's not the reason.. is there a chance you can upload the wings file somewhere?
So i can try it and see what's the problem.

Note to myself: I really need to finish the converter script..no more such unneeded error-seeking.

Hmm, sorry all that junk wasn't helpful, that's the only output it gave when I tried to export. You can pick up the model here:
http://www.astro.psu.edu/users/debes/ship6.wings

hope that helps--and tell me how sucky it is so I don't embarass myself by posting it to the artwork forums

EDIT: also, I'm on a MAC OS X 10.3.8 powerbook G4, if that is relevant

Ok, seems like my plugin was out of date (API wise).
Could you please install the latest version i just uploaded and try again?

Actually the junk was useful, but i didn't know that at the time i looked at it

I like the shape (though i can't get along with the fin in the back)... and the model you sent me is a bit dark (Yes i know it's 'cause of filesize)

EDIT: also, I'm on a MAC OS X 10.3.8 powerbook G4, if that is relevant

Shouldn't make any difference .. at least where it concerns erlang/wings.

Pontiac, you da man--the converter works perfectly, I have the ship in game and flying around. Thanks for the fix!
