Gmax-export again

[moorgeist]

Gentlemen,

may I ask another question?
After a couple of months working and exporting with gmax failerly well, I suddenly discover trouble again: I can not export

anymore. I get an error-message, that there is a mismatch between the number of vertex faces and normal faces. This is bad.

What is even worse: Even the export of a simple box fails. Sometimes I even get negative numbers.
It looks like this:

Running model

Start! (C:\Luftfahrt\FS-Zubehoer\Flugzeugbau\Gmax-Projekte\Do26\model\box.x)
Loading X C:\Luftfahrt\FS-Zubehoer\Flugzeugbau\Gmax-Projekte\Do26\model\box.x...
Error in exporter: Mismatch between # vertex faces (-39) and # normal faces (1) in part Box01.
Error!
Error!

I guess, it may be concerned with the latest Windows-patch. So I installed the Q824136, but there is still no way out.


(And one more: some transparent textures from 2002 seem not to work in 2004.Do you have any ideas?)

Have you visited http://www.gmaxsupport.com/ for your problem? I believe they have a work around for the WinXP problem, if it hasn't already been corrected by a later update.

It seems this error appears quite frequently and it should be discussed in their forums.

Thanks for your reply,

yes, I was there. Unfortunately I didn't find a solution.

Since I failed stick figures 101 at an early age, I don't use GMAX for much!:(

However, try visiting http://www.freeflightdesign.com/ and also the http://www.avsim.com/ aircraft and panel design forums.

The best will be to return to FSDS in penitence.
