It crashes whenever I try to munge a certain custom model, the other custom models work perfectly (it's a turret).
The mungelog: The model itself seems to be okay, I checked it a couple of times and there's nothing odd...

there must be smething wrong with the model if it crashes modelmunge. did you hexedit it somehow and how many polys does it have?

Nothing is hex edited, everything is pure XSI work. How do I count (or let XSI count) the polys?

in one viewport if you click on the eyesymbol on the upper border you can activate selection info. that will display the triangles of the selected object.

Thanks, there are exactly 888 polys. But I have already a model with 1244 ingame, so it can't be to many.

yes, thats not the problem.
you cna try exporting all objects as obj and reimport them. that sometimes solves problems that only appear in battlefront.

Didn't work, but I found out (by playing around with the msh.option) what part of the model is causing the grief. It are the aimer_y1 and the aimer_y2.
Hierachy: Both are located directly under the DummyRoot (in the hierachy, not the model).

the hierarchy looks alright. how did you find out that the aimers cause the problem?

I munged the model without it's msh.option (and thus without -keep aimer_y1 aimer_y2) and it worked perfectly (the turrets didn't move though). Then I added and removed aimers from the msh.option's -keep list to find out wich of them is evil.
But I still don't know whats wrong with them.

hmm, that is really weird..
could you export your scene with crosswalk to xsi 5.0 text and send it to me? ill have a look at it then.

edit: i can munge it without problems, this is the msh.option: are those the ones that crash modelmunge for you?

Don't forget to put in the x-aimers. But the y-aimers are the ones that crashed my munge.

still no mungerror. you could redo these nulls and reexport the model, maybe it will work then. i cant see any proper cause for this so it might be just a random bug.

I'll just redo the whole model (I don't like the current model that much, so it's not a big loss)
