Blender/TSRW importing/exporting issues
New member and aspiring modder here!
For days now, I've been trying to learn modding (finally - took long enough). Everything has been going fine so far.. except for meshes. I just can't get Blender to work nicely with all the other programs I've downloaded. I'd love to try Milkshape in case it works better with importing/exporting, but I can't afford it just yet, and apparently the needed plugins don't work in the trial version. Unless that's no longer the case?
Anyway! I've been trying to debug my issues, so I tried something very simple. I made a fresh project in TSRW without any modifications and exported the mesh from it. I imported the mesh to Blender, again made no changes, and exported it right back out. I used MeshToolKit to convert it from wso to obj and back in between since I can't open wso files in Blender. I really made no changes in the mesh at any point, so it should still work, right? Except it doesn't. When I try to import the mesh back into the TSRW project, it gives me these different errors:
When importing the obj: "Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection. Parameter name: Index"
When importing the wso: "Wrong number of groups, expected 2 found 1"
I've been googling so much about this, and these issues have been popping up for others as well, but I haven't yet found a solution that would've worked for me. I'm not sure when the files become unusable for TSRW either. Is it when I export them from Blender, or when I convert them with the ToolKit? Regardless, I understand there being issues with my modified meshes.. but this last test I really didn't modify in the slightest, simply exported and imported here and there.
Any help and nudges in the right direction are appreciated!
