Corrupt lightmaps

[=sw=warlord]

started work on a revamped sidewinder last night and im having issues when compiling the map file in which the lightmaps show as corrupt.
The thing is the lightmaps look like they should in sapian.
heres the tool output:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that Sapien "knows" this sidewinder, considering its telling you the difference in verts. My suggestion is try to give it another name but with all of the same textures.

Lol

I used to get that sometimes, way back when I had a shitty 16MB graphics card

try to give it another name but with all of the same textures.
i renamed the sidewinder bitmap to avalanche.bitmap and that seems to have fixed it.
many thanks and kudos to your lateral thinking.:D
