Amen!!

Try selecting a new filename or save to a different folder. (not the desktop).

I just remembered, this only occurs when you first use the exporter. It uses the last filename for the VMeshLibrary.lod then replaces it when a new filename is selected. But if there was no last filename, it cannot replace it. This should be fixed soon.

The problem is that the .cmp disappears too early out of view. For a correct radius you can e.g. calculate the center of each bounding box axis, then get the distance from each value to the max value per axis and from that calculate the vector length which is your radius.

The radius in that case is sqrt(40²+40²+40²)=69.282. It's the length of the vector from center to the farthest corner.

Thanks for the quick reply. I didn't even think to use the sphere equation. Now, did you use the axis lengths or just use the longest vector.

To formulate it more in the mathematical sense:
center(min,max)=min + ((max - min) : 2);

distance(min,max)=max-center(min,max)

radius(minx,miny,minz,maxx,maxy,maxz)=
sqrt(distance(minx,maxx)²,distance(miny,maxy)²,distance(minz,maxz)²)
This is just what I wrote but this time in strict mathematical notation. "distance" is of course the distance from the center, I shortened the name to keep it readable.

Besides the radius problem of the CMP and it's parts I found another problem a lot of people will maybe get:

If you want to create LOD models, your LOD meshes need to have the same center point like the original ones.
The problem: Because of the poly reduction, the geometry and so the bounding box can change. Your exporter now generates another center point for the same shippart. In fact this means: LOD models can get big gaps between its parts because the original "high" poly mesh and the LOD mesh have different center points.

Another problem is animating the CMP meshes: For rotating animations you need to center the CMP part directly in Milshape where you want to have its rotation axis. Your program in fact always overrides this center point (the root in this case) with its own, bounding box based center point.

Both problems need the same solution:
You have to include a possible manual override for the center points of each CMP group your exporter wants to create.
By this you can, for example with the LODs, always give the LOD parts the same center like the FIX has, so they will be always at the same position with their center.

Oh and, why didnt you reacted to all our requests (some of them are really important for a perfect CMP exporter) in the last weeks? You are some kind of personated hope for a working CMP plugin So please please keep working for the whole communiy and its future.
