I made my own vehicle, a hover board, and When I made animations adn saved it as JMA's in the animations folder it worked. But when I used tool to do the "tool.exe animations vehicles\hover" or something like that It says that it saved it at 0 bytes. And thats nothing. I had it work once and it saved but when I tried to open sapien and ut it in it closed. I ran debug and got this:

The vehicles collision model's frames are different (frame hull, etc...)
The vehicles normal model does not have the seat markers with the proper names (the spheres with the #whatever name added on. #driver)
