Importing Damage

[AccadaccA]

As the title says, I am having trouble with Importing Damage to my vehicles. I converted HS Vehicles to NFS 3 to use Car Tool for the Smoothing Groups to assign window breakage and other damage polys but when I convert it back (and recreate my own damage in Car Cad 1.5) it doesn't damage in the game. I tried all day re-assigning, converting, importing damage when converting back to HS and re-applying the damage verts positions once converted back to HS but it is rock solid in the game.

It's really bugging me as I put many hours into getting the damage just right.... time and time again.

I do recall reading of Mitch Larson's converter used when creating NFS3 to HS damage (& coverting back & forth) but I haven't a clue what it was called or where to download it.

Any ideas, suggestions, links would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

the non-damaged model and the damaged model MUST HAVE the exact same count of vertices, polys. also vertices and polys MUST HAVE the same order, each vertice/poly has an id. on both models they must have the same id. so you cant detach some polys and reattach them without doing it to both models etc.

also i doubt mitch larson ever wrote software for nfs. any chance you mixed this up with rockets nfs fce converter?
