Hello Community,
I have begun experimenting with FH's map making features, and I have been thinking about adding my own .mesh files in there. To test the custom .mesh feature, I created a simple low-poly hat (under 100 polygons) in Maya 2015 using the default lambert material (no fancy textures or colors)
I then used Ogre's scene exporter, which I used to convert this 3D model into the appropriate .mesh and .material files required to allow my hat to be imported into the game:
http://www.ogre3d.org/tikiwiki/tiki-index.php?page=OgreMax+Scene+ExporterThen I placed both my .mesh and .material files into the my_objects folder of the FH directory
However, when I import said .mesh and .material files into the game...
It just flat out crashes, there are no Crash screens, nothing. However, a window's error screen does appear trying to find the solution to the problem (unfortunately it doesn't give me a crash log or anything, it just says FH has crashed)
So this is what happens in a nutshell, onto some more technical stuff.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know for a fact that my computer can handle this game, I have the following specs
Also, I tried using the object maker on .mesh and .material files that I downloaded from the internet, they work fine.
Therefore I have concluded that I am doing something wrong either through the creation of the 3D model itself, or exporting the file to .mesh and .material... so now I will demonstrate how I created the hat, and how I exported it.
The hat itself started off as a basic cylinder with a minor extrude on the sides to create the hat's rim, that's it. Also, I lowered the polycount on the hat using Mesh>Reduce and removed 50% of the polygons from the model (even though the polygon count was already low)
Explaining how i exported this thing will be difficult, so I'll use screenshots instead:
Above is the settings I have configured for Ogre mesh exports
I then proceeded to export my hat through Ogremax> Export > Export Scene and selected the OgreMax .mesh format
This is the dialogue box i get after export is complete
And of course, I test this thing, and FH crashes. so then I changed my export settings and configured it to export using the .xml
format
Which produces this:
and then i proceeded to convert it to a .mesh file using the OgreXMLConverter, however it produces an error log with the following text:
Invalid Base type?... so after doing this I tried exporting a cube, and the same error message appeared.
I am completely stumped at the moment, and I humbly ask for your help.

Feral Heart must be quite picky when it comes to its modelling software. Well i'm going to force myself to learn Blender now, but it should be easier for me since i'm already proficient with Maya
