Weird problems with goat/goal?

I am having continuesly this appearing in the dos box when trying to convert a ms3d to mesh.

Apart of pure vanila units this appears - finally with a successLESS result. I have reimported skeletons, reassigned, changed comments, set zero joints, fixed underweigthed bones etc. for a dozen times, still always the same. With the mesh converter 0.18 I can convert ms3d, but bones doesn´t work properly ingame. My assumption of all this is there must be a bone issue, but since this happens with all skeletons, siege weapons and common soldiers, I am lacking of ideas.

isengard_mine_regrouped_lod0.ms3d

Could be a non standard skeleton\model?

Actually I took the culverin skeleton i.e. Model, just deleted the culverin model and replaced it with my one, the skeleton wasn´t affected.

Culverine is an engine (cannon) if I am not mistaken (unless you are trying to convert the team), and as such will not be converted by GOAT.

Converting the culverin mesh to ms3d, not modifying it, and then straight back to mesh works fine without any troubles. So the convertor works on sieges fines (as KE actually stated).
I am actually just changing the model nothing else, the problems must occur in milkshape already (with which I am not that handy since I am only giving them the final touch there).

I once had this problem as well when the ms3d files I made in Milkshape didn't work in M2TW. I got round it by converting the ms3d files into mesh files, converted the meshes into ms3d files, edited the ms3d with Milkshape (I had to do this because the converter assigned the attachments to character), then converted them back to meshes. I don't know why it worked, it just did.

Something more to remember, should read the article that goes with the converter.

Really wouldn't know what else it could be.

It works, finally. What I have done was deleting the whole skeleton of my "culverin" (i.e. new model), then took the pure vanila culverin, deleted only its model. And then the important part; I haven´t merged the skeleton into my "culverin", instead the other way round, I merged my "culverin" into the remaining vanila culverin skeleton. Afterwards I was able to convert it without any problems. Strange anyway; and thanks for helping!

I had the same issue, thx for the help

That sounds very similar to the way the conversion to stratmap character works. Maybe related.

Remove model of the character = skeleton
Export battle model = character model
Import character model onto skeleton
