Anyone know why this is? and how to get round it?

No, but I contacted him using his e-mail address..he does still frequent alt.games.redalert2 with the rest of the AA. I've got the HVAedit sourcecode from him too to pass on to coldshine on the official FA2 message board.

Its not the HVAeditor like I said, I had the problem with a voxel I made using XCC mixer when I tried to use it as part of a multisection voxel. HVAedit uses some values in the voxel tailer that XCC doesn't create properly (since they aren't needed by RA2 either just for single section units or at all, but the HVA editor needs them). DMZ knows what the problem is and fixed the voxel in question for me (which was actually made for someone else...I just did the HVA animation).
