So quite often when I try to export a nif from blender, I'm getting an error about unweighted vertices. The error message is pretty clear. It tells me what the problem is and why it happens. Fixing it is simple enough. But that's not actually the problem.
My real issue, is that I'm frequently getting false positives on this error. When I work in blendr, I usually have a lot of different meshes in one file, chopping pieces from them, trying different armatures, comparing things for consistency, etc. And I've found out that this is the actual cause of my error. Meshes refuse to export if there are other meshes on different layers of the file. But the error it gives is Unweighted vertices, and it always highlights two vertices on the mesh I'm actually trying to export. Always two symmetrical vertices. No more, no less. Every single time. The vertices it highlights are invariably already weighted, and removing the extra meshes from other layers is the real solution to the issue.
I'm just wondering, why? Is this a bug? Why such a misleading error message?
