Failure to read the ChunkBoneList on the newest Star Citizen files

[lonelyhawk]

An attempt to convert the files like data\objects\spaceships\seats\anvl\carrack\anvl_carrack_command_station.cga results in the following exception:

Unhandled exception. System.ArgumentException: The output char buffer is too small to contain the decoded characters, encoding 'Unicode (UTF-8)' fallback 'System.Text.DecoderReplacementFallback'. (Parameter 'chars')

   at System.IO.BinaryReader.PeekChar()
   at CgfConverter.CryEngineCore.ChunkBoneNameList_745.Read(BinaryReader b) in D:\...\CryEngineCore\Chunks\ChunkBoneNameList_745.cs:line 12

** Sample Model with the issue

• Star Citizen 3.18
• data\objects\spaceships\seats\anvl\carrack\anvl_carrack_command_station.cga

Can you provide a particular file you're having issues with? Anvil Carrack is the reason for the change and it's amazingly working now. Or do you mean you need a build?

Just checked with the 3.21 SC files and the preliminary 1.6 version of the converter. Looks like its working, at least with that version.

I'll close this when the 1.6 release is out if there aren't any other issues.

Oh. Looks a lot better when I turn on smooth shading. Wasn't that the default back in the day?

Could you quickly check 3.22 .cga files, ie the the new C1 ship model. I don't know if I compiled the latest 2.0 repo correctly, but .cga models were throwing an error.

Missed this comment when it was originally posted. Looks like the current 1.6 version can handle this though:

Working on a draft 1.6 release and will have that posted soon.
