Model viewer won't create .msh file - Mr Robville - 12-24-2013
It has been a while since I last implemented anything new into Amnesia.
Today I tried converting a custom model for a mod I'm working on. I managed to create .png textures in binary sizes and exported the model as Collada 1.4 .dae format.
As you can see, the model opens up fine within the model viewer:
![[Image: BR1wip.jpg]](http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m104/mrr_03/mrr_03030/BR1wip.jpg)
As soon as the model is opened, the .mtl files are created as supposed, but for some unknown reason the viewer won't create any .msh file of the object.
I tried using different texture sizes or export settings but that changes nothing.
Can anyone help me with this?

I think msh files are created when the model is opened in-game.

No they are created by the model viewer, though in-game might do it as well

The game might not create .msh files if there are problems with the model. Is there any complaints listed in your hpl.log or modelview.log?

I think .msh are created every time any amnesia tool reads the .dae
Only if there's no .msh or dates with the .dae are different.
You should check what Acies said.

I didn't notice the viewer log before. When I opened it there was a long lists of bad normals. These were so small that I didn't notice them on the model. Once I simply used the modeling tool's optimization function, all bad normals were gone and the .msh file has been created!
The model now works fine:
