Models crashing on console, but not Dolphin about abmatt HOT 11 CLOSED

Based on some tests, I found that black screens occurs when converting models, not only with the v0.9.3 but all previous versions as well. Curiously, the black screen doesn't happen when abmatt simply loads and saves a brres file. When looking through the model, nothing immediately appears to be out of order, still digging...

On http://wiki.tockdom.com/wiki/Common_Crash_Causes under BRRES it says:

Before replacing a material with BrawlBox, you should remove all its texture references (unnecessary if you are playing on Dolphin, but required on a real Wii).

I'm not really sure what that means in this context (I guess there shouldn't be materials that aren't being used?) but could that be why, as it's something that's only needed on the real Wii?

I'll have to look into the file, if it's because of a missing reference then a warning would show up when saving.

So it might be the "no stages" thing? I'll test without that material

from abmatt.

It could be, but it uses a default color instead for the material (black) so I'm surprised if that causes the crash

It appears white for me in Dolphin for some reason

No, that wasn't it

from abmatt.

Anything else I can do to help debug it?

from abmatt.

I believe I have found the issue, for some reason the data length of polygons must include the extra alignment padding on the Wii. I'll create a pull request once I've verified the fix.

Yay, thank you! Hopefully I can test this soon

from abmatt.

It works now, thank you!
