Looks like your vertexes seem right, since the Train has the right shape. That must mean the indices are incorrect, maybe a wrong offset in the array, perhaps it's 0 or 1 based? Try a few things and see how they work out.
Also, NEVER link to my.php on ImageShack. Makes my popup blocker go crazy. Always direct link, please. :) Sortie ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, October 08, 2008 3:14 PM Subject: [hlcoders] model import > Hello, > > (I'm sorry if you already got this mail but it seems that my first mail > hasn't reached the list) > > I’m currently working on importing HL2 maps into my tool that generates a > navigation graph for my Half-Life 2 bot.
