Thanks jasper for answering; and by the way thanks much for the tool and the tutorial you wrote

I just found out that it might well be a lightwave 5.6 installation problem . Sorry for that.
(missing the import/export plugins vsformat.p and trans3d.p - i'll gladly accept any help to get those.. email at clacos at gmail dot com).

As a last try before posting the md5s, i tried to open the setup.lws with cinema4d, and it opened fine !!!, except that the textures were not applied to the models (but cinema4d created one material per iff texture).
And as cambragol managed to succesfully convert the storm petrel, i'm guess my problem lies in ligthwave...

md5 in case they're useful anyway

Those are the same md5's as i've got, so we've got the same files.

The 'bad uv' message is because the u,v values should be between 0.0 and 1.0 - some of them are less that 0.0 or greater than 1.0.

they arn't really bad, i'm just not sure how to interpret them.

I guess this means the texture should be reflected, but some of the u.v vaues are above 2.0 and below, -1.0 not quite sure whats happening there.

I did find a couple of bugs tho.

firstly i wasn't inverting the v co-ord properly, and secondly the --texfileext thing assumed all the texture file names ended with .lbm
(it was case sensitive).

I've fixed those 2, and pso-info now has a --baduv arg, which just prints the filename if it has 'bad' uv's, and --baduvvebose which dumps a bunch of info about the 'bad' uv's.

new version in the usual place.

If there is hope it lies with the demo scene.

thanks, jasper. I'll try a fresh start with the new version.
