Hi, I've been out of the modding loop for a long while and I've run into a problem when using custom meshes in :ffvstr:.
Some of the meshes that I've downloaded work and some of them crash immediately when loading. For instance, Grenadier's mesh Hercules_Gren loads perfectly fine in FFvt3r and in CharacterTool2, but when I try to load the mesh Huntress_Gren, FFvt3r/charactertool2 crashes. This happens with a bunch of other meshes that I downloaded from the same yahoo group. Does anyone have advice on what is going wrong or how to proceed? Is it something basic like "meshes from :ff: don't work in :ffvstr:"?
If it helps, I am running the steam version of the game on win7. Thanks (apologies if this is posted in the wrong forum section)

Sounds like the meshes were not converted for FFvtTR.
Use the tool here and they should work for you :)

Welcome to the boards omforce. Though some meshes work with both games, it's kind of a gamble knowing which ones work and which ones don't. Most actual meshes are for :ff: and will need to be converted before using them with :ffvstr:, so it's best to convert actual meshes before using them in :ffvstr:. However, most skopes are created exclusively for :ffvstr: and cannot be used with :ff:. If you have questions as to which are which, feel free to ask. There are a lot of really good people who frequent Freedom Reborn and they are usually willing to answer any questions you may have.
The EZNifConvert was exactly what I needed. I tested it out on the Huntress mesh and a couple others and it worked!
Thanks! You have a great community here.
