Alright, this is becoming quite ridiculous...

Whenever I export my BSP file, on any version max, with Blitz or Bluestreak, max seems to exception, and quit. However, we've found one clue into the problem:

-- Unkown property: "name" is undefined

...

I swear I've seen this somewhere, and I've done alot to find the error, but to no avail will it budge. Any help here would be very appreciated.

Thanks.

I'm now attempting the most annoying yet helpful way of debugging: detaching all the materials and exporting them, one by one, to find the culprit.

You have a piece of mesh that does not have a material applied to it.

For example, your multi sub object material list goes up to 8 materials and you have a piece of mesh that is ID 9

I'm pretty sure that is it because I think I recently had that error.

I've had that error before, you get it in tool, not on export. I think I found it to, but now what in the world is wrong with this material? ugh.

go into editable mesh/poly and select faces by material ID, keep hiding them, after all materials you know of are hidden, then try selecting any remaining faces, apply material to them.

I had thought thats what was wrong, but it wasn't. Apperantly I had about 4 different copys of the same material, 2 of which were hidden. I had to replace all of them with one.

Someone posted a maxscript on this before... in technical I think. If found faces without IDs or an undefined ID.

I had this error today as well:

1. Smoothing group has gone wired so re apply
2.the bsps mesh has a material Id that's not actually a material in the material editor
E.g the material Id applied is 6 but the actual Id in the material editor is 6. Because you have 3 materials
It will look like it's been textured with the material for some reason
if you have 3 IDs:
4 looks like 1
5 looks like 2
6 looks like 3

hope it helps :)


Edit: you found it already lol
