This error occurs because the edges that make the UVMap seams aren't split in the mesh. Basically, select the mesh (in this case head3), enter Edit Mode, switch to UV/Image Editor, press on the "Keep UV and edit mode mesh selection in sync" button (so to synchronize UV/Image Editor selection and mesh edge selection), select all the edges which contour the islands, then switch to 3D View, press Ctrl + E, and then D, and that will basically split all those edges in two - which means the vertex count will also increase, so be mindful of that if the mesh has a complex geometry (that is, if it's close to 1000 vertices). Hope this helps.

Update your blender to 2.79 and install this great plugin https://jkhub.org/files/file/3521-blender-279-jedi-academy-plugin-suite/

 

You will never have to worry about this issue again

I tried what you've suggested here, but I think I don't really get the "edges which contour the islands" part.

@@Maui You want to select the outer edges of the mesh, basically.  So like in this screenshot, you would want to select the edges that connect the front and back of the torso (sides and shoulders).  The edges of the neck/arms/waist probably don't matter since they're technically already split with the other objects.

 

 

 

 

What you can also do is press A to select all, spacebar, type Seams from Islands (only seems to work if the seams haven't already been split.  If they have, A -> spacebar -> remove doubles first).

The 2.79 plugin does this for you at export tho.

@@DarthValeria Can you post the .blend file?

Here it is

It strangely exports the model but with those errors i shown you but when i try to look at it with modview

It says that meshes are more than 1000 verts, but it certainly isnt because i checked it out all of them are just 900 or less than 1000 verts

Thanks to @@Maui frankstein tutorials , i have managed to complete this beauty <3

Here i thank all those guys who helped me exporting a model from swtor to jedi academy, each of them helped me with their own tactics and ways

And at long last i have managed to export my toon with alora body as .glm and it works perfectly

If we dont count weight problems but it'll be fixed easily

 

I owe you guys so much, thanks to you all, i will be able to convert my toons for future jedi academy machinimas
as Dark Times, Old Republic, New Republic, Clone Wars Eras

 

I hope you all will have a nice and prosperous future and career

 

I love you all guys <3
