Well I just started back into Openplane stuff the other day, using OL5, and Ops 1.2.
I've been working on the Tiger Tank.

Problem is after I OLC anything, and get into the game using the new sm file, external view is zoomed way out and I cant zoom in. I tested this to try and see if it was ops or smd/olc. It appears to be the smd/olc(now using v6 same thing). I have a version of the tiger that this zoom thing doesnt happen too, the I smd it, and olc it, then I get the problem. Any ideas about what could be happening? (latest version of tiger is at www.mosquitonet.com/~blodgett/
panzer2.8.zip is the latest and has the problem
panzer2.7.zip is an old version without the zoom problem.

I'm pretty sure your verts are getting screwed up. It isn't legal in a .OL to use
<cr><lf> as a seperator between group of verts like this:

1,2,4<cr><lf>
2.5,0.0,1.0<cr><lf>

OLC strips out all the <cr><lf>.
You end up with 1,2,42.5,0.0,1.0

You must use spaces to seperate verts

There are some other screwy things even in
the 2.7 file, like a file reference to a file called "cement", possibly your .sm file
suffered some earlier damage from that OPS
problem where the namelist/material table
looses entries.
