Hi PJ,
A beer would be good...one day maybe!
Right, you must have scasm.exe and associated files in the same file location as your command prompt and MDLC files. MDLC uses scasm.exe to re-compile the files (basically MDLC just modify's and de-compile's, but d*mn useful it is at that!!
).
BTW I'm still messing around with the JF Mossies, to get things to work.
Cheers
Shessi

Shessi,
I have the latest version of SCASM but no joy. I think I can fix the bomb bay is I could just get the sca file to compile. If you get the chance try to convert the mdl file to sca...make no changes...compile back. I keep getting errors. When you find the time:ernae:

Hi PJ,
I bet you're getting a runtime error?
If so that's no problem, it has re-compiled the file but there may be a few errors. Some are not so obivious and will not be seen. Carry on the process to the end i.e. MD2 file and see what you get.
Did you try and associate something like the tailhook command to them?

Hi,
I ran across this in my notes. Maybe it will work for ya.
******************************
save the sca file
now compile it with scasm as follows
scasm myweopon.sca myweapon.bgl
if you have built a multiple model weapon you may get an line buffer error due to to many vertex
you need to use the -LB switch with a number say around 90000 like so
scasm myweopon.sca myweapon.bgl -LB 90000
if you still getting the error just add a 0 to the number (ie 900000) until it compiles
I first load my edited weapons .sca files to my C:\ drive, then open the CMD dos window and start the typing.
C:\scasm C:\wep_name.sca C:\wep_name.bgl -LB 980000
and away it works. I always use the -LB command as most of the weapons that I have made are over the default scasm LB.

Hi There PJMack,
I was having a similar problem after reloading a new hard drive. My MDLC folder was missing some files needed from Ivan's previous versions. Simonu pointed these out for me. Thanks Simonu!
Try adding these three files if you do not have them. The batch file is optional. Remove the .txt exstension after the *.zip.
I hope it works out....

Oglivie,
I am on vista and so cannot run scasm in true dos mode. is there a switch for Ivans mdlc190 that will allow for the overflow? For example mdlc/m 1.sca -lb 9800000 ?
Thanks dvslats but it didn't work. I have already gone down the road of reinstalling a new mdlc 190.
I did try your files but they were there already.

Road block for me also....
I do not know for sure about the switch for MDLC. I looked through Ivan's readme and did not see any switches either. I am running XP, very little experience with Vista. I think of anything else I'll post. I hope ya can get er working. Maybe Shessi has some more info for ya that will help out.

P.S. I do not think you need to run scasm in true dos mode. I have been running scasm with the Windows XP Command Prompt window without difficulty, which is available with Vista also.
Oglivie,
I got scasm to work but the model seems to be too big for the overflow not to interrupt. I went from -lb 980000 to -lb 999999999999 (this is where scasm just down right up and aborts with no overflow error). If you thiink of anything else...drop me a line. Thanks again.

Some thoughts....
PJ,
As we are aware, there is obviously something in the code that scasm will not compile. This could be due to the type or version of the program originally used to create/compile the model that is not being converted properly to scasm, or can be compiled with scasm. There maybe a switch in Ivan's MDLC or other MDLC method to get it complied, but I currently know of none. I have also run into some models that would not re-compile correctly after converting to scasm (even with no changes that I made to the code), but I do not recall having a line buffer overflow error when compiling to bgl, as you have encountered. Also, even if a model does compile there is a chance of some distortion sometimes that occurs. I have occaisionaly noticed with some models an overall size change and sometimes VC canopy distortions if the canopy is automated to open and close. MDLC is a very nice program, but I think there are limits to its ability to work with some models.
