!!!!!yay found and fixed bug.. no 2 bugs at once! one was causing other in a very weird way.
When we have mech with blown hand(s) in engine it is implemented as mech without handes + mech with only left hand (no body) and right hand (also no body)
The thing is that once we do not have body updateGeomery was not called and texture handle for hand(s) was not updated, but in render function it was updated. So, during update(), addTriangle was called with one nodeId, but in render() it tried to add vertices to another nodeId, and of course could not find it, leading to “Flags do not match either set of vertex Data” message.
I noticed this during early stages of porting, but thought it is something innocent, though, I did not relate it with issue when some polygons magically disappeared in live mechs of the same type (polys were popping in and out depending on view angle which was even more strange). Apparently one issue was causing another, due to broken vertex lists.
But now it is fixed, and I can sleep well!
but first drink some tea!
