The tool seems to strugle when converting some custom 64 bit behaviours

[NickaNak]

When trying to run a conversion on some custom made 64 bit behaviours it seems to have trouble processing them, it creates an error and just fails, there's quite a few behaviours I'm trying to convert and only one file gets converted, I haven't checked in the behaviour editor if it's working or not though

Also why is it trying to find a non existent user in the C Drive?
C:\Users\yee\source\repos\hkxconv\HKX2Library\HKX2\
That's not my user name and I don't have the tool nor havok content tools/hkxcmd in my C drive

Here's the full error log:

lol that my pc username and project path. i guess next time not to bundle with pdb

also some modifed hkx by GenerateFNISforModders.exe (probably older version?)
have same error
could reproduce same error here
#5

thinking a way to ignore error or skip deserialize

look like hkx try put hkbStateMachineStateInfo class in expressions member which is hkbExpressionDataArray class

HKX2Library/HKX2/Autogen/hkbEvaluateExpressionModifier.cs

Line 13 in 8451526

public hkbExpressionDataArray m_expressions;

Thanks for the quick reply! I've been told by the author of these behaviours, that these have trouble with Nemesis too, he was having trouble turning them into Nemesis compatible behaviours(so that users could mod them if they wanted to) so it's something the author has done, not your tool

Just tested your tool on the VR behaviours and they work great!

I release hkxconv v0.1.1-alpha
with --ignore-cast-error flag should ignore all error above (if hkx file not so mess up lol).
but output will missing some data (data still in original file)
error above hkbStateMachineStateInfo will be missing in xml and child reference etc.
preserve skipped class will on todo list (still thinking how to handle).

nice to hear VR work too. it shoud be able convert any havok 2010.2.0-r1 hkx file.
btw i don't own skyrim VR, not sure there is any VR specific hk class.
