ps if you make some operation after/before , move , resize, etc ... you have a different result : objet deformation , missing face , etc ..

and i think if for that my split work one time of 100

I imported the object and did the X and Y rotates you showed, and I had no problems. I also tried putting in values for X and Y loc first, and still had no problems. I'm a little confused. Does this have to do with splitting with a ground mesh? I didn't see where I would do that here.

I know there's a at least one problem with splitting with the ground mesh: if you import an object it must only split the ground mesh in one place. This is only a problem for individual objects: when you import an entire dungeon it's okay if multiple corridors split (poke through) the ground mesh, but each individual corridor or room must only poke through the ground once. I found this when I had a really long corridor that poked through the ground twice (it came out a cliff and entered another cliff farther away). The solution was to break it into two corridors from inside Dungeon Builder.

P.S. I have Dungeon Builder open in my compiler now and I'm looking into implementing some of the ideas you listed in the other post.

i put my complete oz env here :

if can help

bug is not all time , here have 1/2 time

for information i have a crash near 1 month i had reinstall totaly my windows and change my video card , but i already had this bug before crash

and i just make a virus scan in my oz directory but it s clean ( in the case of a virus modidy the exe)

additionnal information

if i make 10 random rotate and after if i put 0 in x axis and 0 in Y axis

i obtain that

strange the deformation have the same angle that the green arrows

Well, the green arrow is nothing more than the polygon selection marquee. Since OpenZone deals only in triangles, it takes the form of a triangle, but additionally has three lines moving toward the center of the polygon.

It looks like your OpenZone is two days older than mine and has a different filesize. What happens if you re-download it?

Mine is dated 5/25/2005, 4,670,464 bytes, and that's what's in the latest archive I uploaded. Maybe you have a beta/bugged version?

Ad for splitting with the ground mesh, maybe tomorrow I'll upload Dungeon Builder 1.6 and my new zone and its dungeon so you can see how it's done. I have a zone (not yet fully built) called The Namtarn that is the southern extension of Veldona and has an extensive dungeon as well as a deep canyon that parts of the dungeon intersect. It's a good illustration of how you can import a dungeon from Dungeon Builder into a zone. I can upload both versions of the zone -- before and after adding the dungeon -- so you can see the difference.

Hello,

I tested your cube and its full or errors (Object i tested is on this link http://supervision2.filnet.fr/froggy/ftp/obj/c1.3ds).

Major Problems
- It is setup to "editable mesh" when it should be setup as "editable poly".
- Your 'cube' have 14 vertices, how come ? A normal cube should have onle 8 vertices (one for each corners).
Minor Problems
- Its not a cube, more a rectangle :p
- No texture attribued
- Rendering method is phong, i'll rather go with blinn
