When I export models I'm getting this error - anybody know what it means?

From the exporter or the game engine?

When I run the game, it blows up just after the loading of objects (before starting) - I haven't debugged yet, but my instinct is that it means it's querying for a box called something that it doesn't find.. can't think which one. I may know more soon.

It works fine in the exporter, and in show tool (which is annoying.. I wish it would blow in show tool if it'll blow in game)

update: just now, when I ran it.. it briefly did work, then I adjusted the view angle and it exploded.

K, and now.. for no reason I can figure out.. it works :) but the sunlight is ballistic (??) Woops it's gone again.. no its back. ARG it's intermittent! ;) -- this is one for the books - particularly the sunlight glare effect. You gotta see this one.. http://www.eyesinthedark.org/vamp17.dts it's one for the books :)

The precise error is in SceneTraversal.cc @ 182 I dunno if that helps.

I exported the orc-mesh from the examples, to try and I got this error: Error: attempt to load a version 204 dts-shape, can currently only load version 24 and before.

I'm using MAX 5.

I've found the problem, thanks to people on #torque- I was missing a player.cfg file, nothing more. With that added, he exports perfectly - I didn't even lose my uvmap or animation. As I say: I had re-installed so I'd forgotten about that file..
