Homeworld Ships

[AlexPaladinStorm]

Ah. I figured out how to get the CMP Importer for Milkshape to work. I noticed this little file in the Milkshape direcctory called 'buggyplugins.txt' ... I basically just took the name of the CMP importer and put it in the list there, and Milkshape stopped having a heart attack every time I started it up. Then, I just used the importer and it got all the textures and such for me right where they needed to be, by going through the importer's steps.

(EDIT: I still wish there was a better format to import between Milkshape and 3DS MAX. Apparently the best I can do is use Autodesk 3DS format, which is not a MAX native format (MAX only opens proper MAX files, VIZ Render (.drf) files, and 3ds max Character (.chr) files directly- all others have to be 'Imported'), but it does come equipped with an importer for that file, and it seems to preserve the models and their materials almost perfectly. I have to make sure MAX recognizes and displays the textures, but all the info is there in an Autodesk-native format, so it's great)

That importer really should have the info about making sure it's in the 'buggyplugins.txt' file as part of it's readme or something.

I'm also just about to import all the other Border World ships into this MAX file so I can look at them and choose parts that fit the Acolyte best. I'm thinking of using the stems on either the Sabre (between the wingtips) or the Dromedary (for the engines) for the 'upper arm' parts that links the main body to the big arm segments.

Currently: Remastering Kiith Somtaaw's Acolyte Fighter. These Homeworld ships need some Sirius work done on them. ^.-
