So, now that i am back. Can anyone answer my above question?

 

[Capt_hensley]

What program are you using for the meshes?

Re-phrase the question please.

 

[Urwumpe]

How would i do the .msh file specification?

Simply looking at the end of the file if each texture was named properly. Its one of the more esoteric components of the converter

[Woo482]

You should be able to just open the .msh file with Notepad :thumbup:

 

[Arthur Dent]

You can open it with any texteditor of your choice. Notepad for example.

This is what was in the mesh file. So do i change "MLM solar pa" into "MLM solar pa.dds". Also what do some of these numbers and words mean?

MSHX1
GROUPS 2
LABEL MLM solar pa
MATERIAL 1
TEXTURE 0
GEOM 122688 41376 ; MLM solar pa

******************************
A lot of numbers here!

You have no textures defined in the mesh at all. There would be at the end of file something like:

TEXTURES n
texture1.dds
texture2.dds
...
texturen.dds

Where texture{number} would be file names of used textures.

The LABEL is only a label used by meshc tool to make labeled constants for groups that can be used in code. Editing it won't change anything. Materials are lighting properties of whole mesh groups. Editing them will only change color, reflectivity, transparency, glowing, but won't add a texture.

You need to convert your model to Orbiter mesh again with different options set, to include textures, or at least add the texture to TEXTURES, if there are already 8 numbers a row in GEOM section for definition of vertices (i.e. UV map is defined), and only one texture is used.

All details about mesh format are in Doc/OrbiterConfig.pdf and Orbitersdk/doc/3DModel.pdf.

So basically, I imported the mesh without the textures defined?

Yes. There are no textures defined in the mesh file.
