Malformed Mesh File [UUID here] in VFS. Mesh skipped! Stop to decode the model?" Both clicking yes and no produce the same result, which is no DAE output.

What do I do about this? I can export OBJ but attempting to export XML and convert it to DAE is fruitless so far for me. It's that same error each and every time.

Darkstorm 3.1

I read one of the release threads on the tool. I'm going to try to clean the XML file of any special characters. My chosen target mesh is full of bracketing and someone said that can sometimes invalidate the tool's attempt to extract the mesh. I'm also going to make a darkstorm dummy object and load the mesh UUID, as another user pointed out that is a way to get the entire object back into recent cache.

I'm trying guys, I swear, don't ban me yet! Lol
