I'm trying to just do a simple LoadObject("model.b3d") and AppGameKit crashes, whether I run normal or debug, on the latest 2017.09.04 build.
I assume that my files, while valid b3d as they load in Blitz3D, aren't completely following the spec as used by AGK.
I believe the files were initially created in Caligari TrueSpace/GameSpace.
A search of the forum for b3d shows it isn't used much, or it just works for everyone so advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!

There's a blast from the past. trueSpace 4 is my all time favourite 3d editor! (Microsoft ruined truespace 7. )

Haha Yeah these models were made a while back.
I tried a few more that I have to narrow down the issue, and most came in fine.
It looks like the ones with animation in them are the problem.
Do you have any animated ones you can try?

Perhaps you can import and re-export the model in Fragmotion, which I believe has a very good trackrecord for B3D.

I tried re-exporting it in UltimateUnwrap3D since I already had that. It looks like it's the bones that are the issue. If I either delete the bones, or export the mesh as multiple meshes (which doesn't export the bones), then it shows up in AppGameKit just fine. Also the crash happens in the Linux version. In Windows, it runs but just doesn't show anything for the mesh. Not sure what the difference is there, but either way I have a workaround. Thanks all

Yes Ultimate Unwrap 3D is also a great tool. (And the author can help sometimes writing specific plugins if needed ... for example i have an OBJ Exporter with 2 level of UV's coordinates for AppGameKit lightmaps (handled in AppGameKit like the 3D Demo "Metro Theatre")).

There's a bone limit in AppGameKit, I can't remember what it is though. (About 100??)

Interesting. This only has like 4, but there is a hierarchy involved.
