Right, so i’m a complete noob, and whenever i export from milkshape into x and try to open in pview or convert to egg, i get a huge list of errors, even for somthing as simple as a cube. Most of them are too many data elements in structure, but there are also lots of unknown template: STRING, DWORD, WORD and UCHAIR, unknown identifiers: nkeys, nVertexColors, nFaceWrapValues, nIndices, and nWeights.
nothing i’ve tried exporting has animations or bones.
No idea what’s going on. Help please!
Which version of Panda are you using? There is a bug in 1.5.0 that prevents it from loading .x files.
well… that would indeed explain it. even the converter things dont work? bugger.
-edit trying that. also, here is an (incomplete) error log from cmd prompt using -ignore.

This is a pretty serious bug. I’m going to see if I can hurry up a bugfix for this.
There is a workaround though - you can download version 1.4.2 and use that. Or, if you really want to use 1.5.0, you could download both versions, and use the converter in 1.4.2, and use everything else in 1.5.0. I know it’s awkward, but it’s temporary.
60% as i speak ;p
yep works great. thanks.
