Big Problem... Help Please.

I have a Problem; When I rescale something using FLModelTool, it deforms as if only every 2nd vertex had been scaled.

I tried to download the latest version, did not help. (I actually think I allready had the latest because the other didnt work for me even with the dll's)

What is the problem here?

I need an asteroid being 8 times bigger, possibly more.

Oh and sur files seem to be all fine.

One last thing... It may be 3db files only as I have not tried it on other than 3db yet.

Sorry mate, didn't see the post. I'm aware of the cmp resize issue but have little time to work on the new version at the moment. I'm completely redoing the code and (i hope) squashing this bug as well.

Since an asteroid has no hardpoints to re-do you can resize it in milkshape. If you don't have milkshape mail it or tell me which asteroid to me and i'll do it for you

ast_rock_60, ast_rock_90, ast_rock_largea, ast_rock_largeb.

I'm not sure of the scale... I will post it later when I know what can be most useful. EDIT2: 15-16 times bigger than original model. and just a comment, it seems that model tool is not the solution to the edgeofscreen problem... it rather seems to be the cause.
maybe its the solar_radius thats the cause... I will check later on.

EDIT: oh... and erh... yeah... what txm file contains brown asteroid textures?

@BmB : ModelTool is not the cause. Remember that the disappear at edge of screen bug is caused by SUR files. Re-scaling it normally does the trick. (It did for my model while everything else didn't)

And about the txm, well look into asteroidsarch.ini maybe!

The disappear at edge of screen is actually both causes. A model without the center and radius values (fladdradius2 and latterly FLModelTools funtion) in cmp file will cause disappear even with perfectly sized sur file. Silvik put me onto the sur sizes needing to be correct...
