    I need some help.
    Basically i'm refactoring the model class - still - and need someone to do a test for me concerning the triangle draw order method - priorities to you.

    If i make a few models i just need them to add models to their client and see if they crash it, it should cause an "array out of bounds exception" when they wear/weild it, however it will fuck your cache up if you add it to the cache coz it'll always produce that error.
    So i need someone organised enough to create a throw away cache and client folder, i'd do it myself cept i can't organise my time never mind my hard drive.

    Anyone wanna help figure out the model priorities?

    Great, it's nice to get help when your in a mess

    ok here is a zip file with 4 models.
    [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

    3 are the standard male platebody with different priorites. the other is a standard scimmy with stupid priorities.
    By my reckoning only 306a.dat should work.
    306b.dat and 306c.dat should both crash the client.
    490.dat should definately crash the client.
    (if they don't crash it i'm gonna cry)

    If you only want to test 1 test then do 490.dat or 306b.dat

    Thanks for your help, i'd normally do these silly tests myself.
    Tell me if you get and "array out of bounds" or not.

    306c.dat
    Turns me invisible
    490.dat

    SON OF A BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Thanks for the test, very much appreciated.
    Was expecting it to cause an exception, probably does but is caught and handled and i'm just missing where that happens.......

    Ok, MAX priority you can use in the 317 is 11, anything higher and the object will not be drawn, players and npcs are objects. MIN priority is 0.
    Not completely worked out what priority means in terms of the 3D engine, but it's part of method483 which also uses max distance from 0,0,0 values, and seems to order the triangles vertically as well (not sure which order)

    I'll make a post when i figure out that method.

    Thanks again.
