Originally THREED-3168

Build: 1.1 Final

Platform: Any

Target: TS System

Issues: As title

Steps to Repeat:

1. Launch the game
2. Enter on the World Editor
3. Place a really complex shape with more of 16 bones that influences a single vertex.

Suggested Fix:

Increase the default number of the bones that can influence one vertex in the tsSkin

Around the line 392 of the ts/tsMesh.h:
view plainprint?
class TSSkinMesh : public TSMesh
{
public:
struct BatchData
{
enum Constants

{ // Increase the BonesPerVert value for complex skinned mesh -> //maxBonePerVert = 16, // Abitrarily chosen maxBonePerVert = 128, // <- THE NEW VALUE // <- Increase the BonesPerVert number for complex skinned mesh }
;
...

We have this one in the CE. The suggested fix hasn't caused any known issues.

Fix checked into development branch.

Original notes from Chris:

FIX - Prevent crash when loading a DTS skinned mesh with more than maxBonePerVert weights per vertex. Instead, issue a console warning and ignore all but the maxBonePerVert largest influences (THREED-3168).
