Kendo even if it does work with another model it wont work with the model I need to finish the project. I'll try. But I'm afraid I already know what the result will be... When I follow your previous step. Ungroup. Convert to mesh. Export as orbiter mesh it says out of bounds then it starts to...

Hehe you know what I meant hehe! Ok I'll change it Mr. picky pants haha.

Guys I may have to call it quits. Kendo the anim8tor script is loading nothing but errors. First it says something about the file being out of bounds, I tried to get a screen shot but couldn't. Then it says "error reading file" then nothing happens. I can tell its doing something to the mesh...

Thank you Kendo your instructions are very helpful. I've done exactly as you said. I'm assuming when the msh. script is loaded into Anim8tor the msh. format should appear in the "save as", "save as file type" drop down menu. I cant see it. When the script is loaded it says this. "internal error...

Yes I have converted the textures to DDS. I have the JPEG textures in the folder with the model and these show up when I open the model in Anim8tor and in Wings3D. I have the DDS textures already in Orbiter waiting for the new msh. but they wont show on the model in the sim. Like I said when I...

Guys I'm having troubles getting the textures from the 3ds to the msh. When I put the 3ds and the textures in the same file to convert them in Anim8tor they show up in the program and I did all the steps Kendo issued me. However when the time comes to convert it to a mesh I have to use Wings3D...

I'm gett'n there! The mesh is now complete and facing the right way... Now for the textres....any tips...

Ah thank for that Kendo! But first though I need to know how to install the msh. plugin for anim8or (I'm such a noob :blush:) Does the application need to go into a separate folder with the plugin file or something? I'm sorry if all this is annoying but I really just starting to learn something...

...How long did it take you to do that?...:blink:

...It was right here:blink:....:facepalm: Thanks Loru.:lol: But the texture part might be the real test here. I'm reading the Manual in question and all I'm getting is I have to MANUALLY punch in the texture names into the mesh file....ouch... I'll keep reading it and I'll try to figure it out...

I have anim8tor but when I try to open the mesh it gives me an "E" word ;) If I need that plugin I CANT FIND IT ANYWHERE!! Anim8tor is such an old and obscure program its hard to find anything for it. If you know were the plugin is PLEASE SEND A LINK!

Great! After searching these forums from top to bottom I finally got Wings3D with the msh. export to work. I finally have the mesh in Orbiter and now come my next set of problems... First as you can see their are no textures despite having the DLL files in their proper positions in the...

AHH great thanks I'll look for it! IIRC Although a link would help. :lol: Anim8or is kind of an obscure program... ---------- Post added at 03:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:17 AM ---------- what wait! IIRC: if I remember correctly! That's what that means! UGH! :facepalm::lol::lol...

Thanks to the link provided by n122vu my texture problem is solved. But now I have encountered another problem. Like I said when I tried opening the new ship Orbiter crashed. I looked at the log and it said "mesh not found". Shure enough the mesh file was 0kb.:lol: I suspect the converter...

Haha ok. So I made the sc3 config and the regular vessel config to get the ship in a scenario and placed the mesh and textures were they needed to go. I tried to add the ship to the sim and it crashed! :lol: Ok back to the digital drawing board, can you tell me what might be wrong? I suspect I...

Thank you Urwumpe. Yah I've always wanted this ship but I probably should have attempted a Narn space station first, more simple to configure. :lol: This add-on probably wont have docking ports or engine exhaust textures unless you know of a free mesh viewing tool.

As stated I've decided when it comes to being part of the Obiter community I need to stop talking the talk and start walking the walk. Its time to contribute some effort to my new friends here. After downloading the awesome Mesh-maker add-on I THINK I may have successfully converted the...

Ok so the log resets itself every time you start and close Orbiter correct? If this is the right file with the right data great! If not please be patient I'm still very new to this. :lol: I started a scenario with a ship in a custom system. Got the usual error, closed Orbiter and then...

Yet another great ship from Stevcast thank you! Are you ever going to make the Bin'tak class ship?

Thanks for the advice LTrotsky. I suspect that MSS is for an older version of Orbiter. My version is v.100830. I am using the default built in graphics and I cant seem to find the log text file.
