Problem with exporting MDL to MDX in Model Editor.

I've been tinkering with an effect model (roarcaster.mdx) and while in Model Editor it works perfectly fine as MDL (animations etc. runs just right) when I export to MDX and reload it it stops working.

It just doesn't animate. And in World Editor it only shows part of the model effect (but the sound etc works fine).

Anyone ever had a problem with this?

Oh man, this will be my 100th topic where I ask something and answer it myself. So, for some reason, Model Editor has some problems with exporting MDXs from MDLs. I said "some" because normally it works fine, but in some rare cases like the one I encountered it fails.

When this happens, just use another converter to do the job. Meaning, instead of working on the MDL in Model Editor and saving it as MDX, just save it as MDL then convert it using MDXtoMDL converter.

Anyway, I hope at least this will be a lesson to other people.
