Working Glitchy's MES or other .3ds or .obj to M2

[kojak488]

Does anyone have a working download for (preferably) Glitchy's MES that has the OBJ to M2 converter?  I lost mine after a re-install of Windows and all the ones on here I can't get to work due to errors in Glitchy's MES, possibly due to the lack of an installer for it.  Additionally, I can't find a working download for the 3dstom2.exe either.

What kind of error are you getting? we need more information.

Additionally, I can't find a working download for the 3dstom2.exe either.

Have you installed ".Net Framework 3.5"?

just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this

The application must also be compiled with debugging

Have you installed ".Net Framework 3.5"?

After one of the forum members at the other site found a link to the Glitchy's MES installer (http://depositfiles.com/ru/files/9pvolmkpe), I'm starting to suspect there's an issue with either the original .m2 model I'm using or the process/import/export of the .obj.  I just doubted it was that since months ago I used the same .m2 to do an edit and followed the same process as I tried to this time (askion's guide: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=1808).

Original .m2: http://www.megafileupload.com/en/file/4 ... eM-m2.html
Original .skin: http://www.megafileupload.com/en/file/4 ... -skin.html
Original .blp: http://www.megafileupload.com/en/file/4 ... k-blp.html
Imported .3ds: http://www.megafileupload.com/en/file/4 ... k-3DS.html
.obj: http://www.megafileupload.com/en/file/4 ... k-obj.html

Looks like the issue was the .m2 importer for 3DS corrupting the model.  When I switched to my old method of loading in WOWMV, exporting as .obj, importing the obj into 3DS, then exporting the edited .obj, I was able to turn the .obj to .m2 in Glitchy's MES.

Unfortunately now there's a different error.  I can edit the z-axis.  At 0.965 it shows up in-game:

At 1.25 it shows up in-game and is a bit higher up (as expected):

At 0.95 (going lower) it just disappears!

Any ideas?
