Got exporter 1.1 and tutorial, huge thanks to bluntpencil2001. Now I know what I'm gonna be busy with for this weekend. Heh.

"Creating custom SURs of Vanilla quality is impossible. We have to use resized SUR files of Vanilla models, and there's no way to improve the situation. Creating custom SURs is a complex process, and success is never guaranteed. A custom SUR that works fine on one PC might cause instant dock crash on another, like we already learned." (igiss)
well, lets just hope its not all for nothing in the end.....

Jinx, there is no point in quoting that statement at all. Perhaps not everything said is actually impossible. I strive to archive better, only that way progress can be pushed forward and borders expanded. I have no guarantees whether this is actually possible or not without myself trying to get it to work, not gonna claim anything here before having spent time and effort on it, but until then I hold hope.

This is what testing is all about.
But I'd suggest that you don't expect Treewyrm, even if he succeeds in using the tool, to create SURs for all ships in the mod, both old ones and newly added. We are all humans, and cannot spend a lifetime to mod ships:)

Yes we can...*Twitch* *Twitch*
Well, I, for one, am not going to put money on this, but if there's any chance at all this thing could work I think it's our duty as modders to pursue the lead, for the greater good of the mod.
EDIT: Also, Unselie, how did you not know the hitboxes weren't all shaped like the ships? You've been here well before I arrived...don't tell me you NEVER tried the old Corsair Dreadnought or Outcast Dreadnought in SP... the little holes are everywhere. Fly around a Liberty Battlecruiser or a Spyglass and watch how many times you go right through solid pieces or hit empty space...

Completely offtopic and such, but, actually, no, never did that, I hate caps...cant stand them. I can do amazing things in a Train, but if its bigger than that, I can't fly it....and...if I had ever seen it consistently fly through things, it would have driven me nuts.
