Which Milkshape?

The question:
What Milkshape version is recommended for the CMP exporter,importer,and MAT exporter?

*I realize that the these tools will work with many versions of milkshape but what I'm trying to determine here is which latest version works most stablely with the least errors.Right now i'm using 1.7.4 and it crashes on closing after CMP export,which i can live with - I'd just like to get the best(latest?) possible version before buying eh?

You don't need to worry about the purchase, once you purchase it, you own it for life. You can switch between versions and even have multiple versions installed, no charge. Which version of the .cmp exporter are you using? I find that 2 is more stable than the basic exporter. You can download it here if you dont use it already.

Cold_Void,

I have noticed an odd thing about milkshape ... the .cmp importer seems to like 1.6.6 the best although there is a poly limit.. other later versions of milkshape seem to have aproblem with it.

Adding the mesa graphics .dlls seems to improve function with both versions of the .cmp exporter.. I use 1.70 mostly with the added .dlls and have few problems and very rare crashes.. one thing with the .cmp exporter tho that seems to be a factor is models that are not more or less centered on the x,y, and z axis.. off axis models often crash the exporter... now, I dont know if any of these factors really make a difference.. but this is simply what I have found.

and now there is 1.7.4!!!

We have several modelers at Asylum 51 and it seems to be a function of which motherboard, OS, and graphics card you have for the most part.
Very frustrating.

I certainly wish someone would write an importer and exporter for LightWave so we could dispense with MilkShape if we wanted to.
