MilkShape: FL CMP Exporter causes crash

Hello,

I'm still at a beginner's level with Milkshape, but sofar I've done okay.

Yet now I have a model that causes Milkshape to crash when I try to export it.

The model is the upper part of the Trading_Outpost archetype. I succesfully isolated the lower part and made it into a satellite archetype, and want to do the same wih the upper part.

I also made a new space_habitat, by placing the top of the Space_Police arch on the Space_Habitat_Wide. All went quite well without problems, so I'm realy puzzled what could cause the exporter to crash in this case ? I can't see any obvious things that are totally different from my previous succesful experiments...

EDIT: Nobody?! Okay forget the above thing; I'll make my question simpler: what things make Milkshape crash when you export to a FL .cmp?

Well if you have the importer dll plugged in tha twill cause crashes.

THe problem is that the exporter is most likely having a conflict with another dll within the program.

CHeck and make sure you do not have the importer dll active (rename it and give it a different extention other than .dll).

Give that a try.

Hey thanks for the input!

Actually I just solved it: it seems I imported a wrong lod of the trading_outpost (the number of vertices was in the red). I used another one and could alter and export that without a problem.
