Hi, I installed meshoptimizersceneconverter plugin failed with the following error:

        ]

The reason is meshoptimizer modified function meshopt_simplifySloppy and meshopt_simplify, their parameters have changed, the related link: zeux/meshoptimizer@66040c7 and zeux/meshoptimizer#217

Can someone help fix this error please? Thank you.

Hi, I think this should work in current master, I did a similar fix in 408c973 (August 2022).

As far as I can see, you're building version 2020.06 which is too old to work with current meshoptimizer. If you build current HEAD instead it should work, but note you have to do that for Corrade and Magnum too:

vcpkg install --head corrade magnum magnum-plugins

Unfortunately due to time pressure on my side I'm unable to tag a new version anytime soon, so you have to keep using the --head, sorry. Which also means the 2020.06 version in vcpkg either can't build with the meshoptimizer plugin or it has to pin the meshoptimizer dependency to an older version, if that's possible.

You can subscribe to mosra/magnum#453 for updates about the new release.
