Python converter for .variant_weighted_mesh model

**asadyan** · January 08, 2017, 01:13 PM

when I rename format and cilic to convert rigid_model to ms3d python gives (memory error) while my memory volume is 16 gig!!
why the python gives that error? where is the problem?

Sorry but the converter can't deal with rigid_model_v2.

I don't think anyone is listening to my posts. I DON'T OWN THE GAME! I have Euro_line_infantry_lod1,
lod2, lod3, and lod4.variant_weighted_mesh because Stefaneke sent them to me back at the start of
July. Of course the converter works for them because it was developed on them and them alone. I need
some examples of .variant_weighted_mesh files that DON'T WORK to find out what the differences are
in the format. Sorry about the capital letters, I didn't mean to shout. Please PM an upload link of a
particular file that's giving a problem and I can work on it.

Thats what we are trying to figure out Ke, so far i was able to convert forth and back any vanilla model i tryd, i was even able to delete and move some verts and it still worked, but at some point it doesnt work anymore. First i thought hes pissed because i completly removed a whole part, but he doesnt care aparently, i think most problems resolve out of a misunderstanding. Most errors i get are like: could not find any faces using vertex index... I have no idea whats causing this, but these errors are about 2/3 of the responses i get. If i remove the body part which is causing the problem i may be able to convert it.

Cant figure out yet how to find the issue with this though.

I'm on converting all Units to ms3d and will convert one lod then back to mesh. This way we should sort out which unit make the problem, if there is a general problem with some units. So far i had some lod's that ei can't convert (lod3 and lod4 of some Campaign models), but i think that not a problem with the converter, but damaged models from CA, as those lods are not used in game. The only full model i can't convert yet is euro_king_and_courtiers. But i think they are not used in game, so i have to figure out if i met a converter problem or if this model is damaged by release.

Ok, ready with the try to convert all Model and LOD's and To reconvert all lod1's. Here is the result:

As you see, while i can convert most into ms3d, i can't reconvert them into mesh, although i made no changes to the models. I will try to put a rar together with as much models as possible (only lod1, as this should be enough and not more than 100mb as this is the limit for a single DL at RS) and upload it.

here are the phyton-messages i get on reconverting armed_citizenry_europe_lod1:
