What is generating this exception???

Ok, I PMI'd the two betrayals pulse generator, a sky from a50, the giant door from b40, a pelican, longsword, computer bank, and oxy tank from a10, and probably most importantly, a hunter from C40
I think that the hunter may be making the exception. Any ideas?

Did you PMI the model for the sky too or just the sky meta, cause that can f*** it up.
If that doesn't work try decrapping the models again and then rebuild it.

Yes I PMI'd the model too, but it has worked fine before. Only it wasn't with the hunter. I believe that I am doing something wrong with the hunter... Oh well it's tut time I guess...
hey

when you PMI'd the hunter did you extract the actor variant for it? that has caused me problems in the past. I would try and test your problem myself but.. ever since i got that stupid #$@$ @#$ @#$# #$$#@ing trojan my PMI does not work in the slightest... so all i got is advice...

Well this isn't hunter but it may be related. I PMI'd the elite and his plasma rifle looks like this:

oh

the reason it looks like that is when you recrusive a the elite it recrusives the plasma rifle and when you paste it into the build folder it overwrites the good plasma rifle that came out of the batch of the level. so you need too delete the weapons tags out of the meta you recrusived of the elite.

No, inferno was right, I just deleted the elite's plasma rifle and it worked perfectly.

When you recursively extract the elites biped and actor variant files, go into both of them, then go to wepons and you should see plasma rifle. Delete them both.
