Text and binary versions exist, open it in a text editor to check. If it has TXT at the start its text, BIN is binary (this is the header).

If you are using the max sins tool thing, it only supports binary .mesh files. Thats why I suggested it.

Ah thank you very much i will test it. :)

 

And ho can i change text in BIN?

Carbons tutorial has a good part on converting from binary to text (at the bottom, see "method #1"). To convert the other way - text to binary - you put "bin" where "txt" is. (I think, I put it on a shortcut and just change the mesh file long ago).

 

Im sure there is some tool around here to make it far easier than typing it but I never got round to trying them since i've been working on my max tool heh.
