When I import this file, everything goes as planned, I go into either Rebed to view the new model or in game, and the model looks wrong. It seems to be like the ship in KOTOR 2 (can't remember the name) but the one that has all the holes in it's hull. It really looks terrible. Anyone able to tell me what I did wrong, or how to restore it?

I can extract .x files just fine, although sometimes with the error caused by having just one model file.

However, with regards to the new .rmd files, if I put them in the 'import' folder, and set the program running, I get a 'nothing to do' error.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Alex

I found this which should allow you to do most of what Lith did on gmax

My problem.

I have created a cheesy Star Trek Battle Cruiser with 3ds Max 6, using a Nebulon-B Frigate to ensure scale.

I converted the file to BC.x with lithunwrap, and it previews just fine.

I have installed the model importer to, and the import folder :

G:\LucasArts\rebellion\model mod

G:\LucasArts\rebellion\model mod\import

respectively.

I run Model Importer and the log file shows:

(yah I know its 5am, but the wife is preggie and sleeps like a hungry tasmainian devil, I needed a hobby )

I assume all went well, so I run REBED and try view the new BC in the V2SD slot where I (hopefully) stored the BC.x file and get this error:

***Erreur Critique***

L'application va etre fermee.

funny thin I'm not french. I guess Mask is ?

The game also crashes whenever I need to view the model.

So, I tried the manual way using Resouce Hacker, following the instructions from one of your many excellent tutorials, and got the same error.

I re-installed the game and tried it in reverse, same again.

I am certain it is something silly and simple, but if anyone has any help for a silly and simple, sleep deprived man, I would be gratefull.

Thanx again.

Majestic-class Heavy Cruiser

this was one of the new class of starship designs approved for the New Republic Navy, around the time of the formation of the Fifth Battle Group. Measuring 700 meters in length, the Majestic-class saw widespread duty during the Black Fleet Crisis. Equipped with thick armor and heavy-duty shields, it was designed to compare with the Imperial-class Star Destroyer in battle. The Majestic-class was armed with 30 heavy turbolaser cannons, 20 laser cannons, 20 ion cannons, 8 concussion missile tubes, and 4 tractor beam projectors. Each cruiser was manned by 4,050 crewmen and 132 gunners, and could transport up to 640 troops. (SOL, CTD)

Sorry, I was unable to locate any kind of pic on this one.

Corona-class Frigate

this was one of the earliest starship designs approved by the New Republic, although it saw limited production. It is not considered one of the new class of ships produced for the Fifth Battle Group, such as the Sacheen-class escort frigate. Built by Kuat Drive Yards, it was modeled after the KDY Nebulon-B frigate, and was designed to carry up to three squadrons up starfighters into battle. The Corona-class frigate measured 275 meters in length, required a crew of 782 with 56 gunners, and could transport up to 80 troops. They were hyperspace-capable, and were armed with 10 turbolaser cannons, 10 laser cannons, 4 ion cannons, and a pair of tractor beam projectors. (BTS, CTD)

Anyway, I'd never heard of these two ships before, although I'd seen pictures of the 'Nebulon-B 2' before, and kind of blew them off. But if they've made their way into 'official' EU fiction...maybe there's something to them.

I do exactly what you say in the readme file, and no error is displayed. But when I open the game the 3d model hasn't been changed. Any idea?

I have been unable to find any answers, and the tutorial do not cover every aspect I hoped for, so I have to ask if I do something wrong.

When importing certain shiptypes into the game, I get this message:

A model with a different name was found.

This will be used for all three, without textures.

When I get this message, the models seem to be transparent. Is this normal?

This message appears when importing every big Imperial ship I know of. Heh. Exceptions are the Overlord and the Allegiance.

Some ships comes through without this "special" message, so I am curious to what I am doing wrong.

Any help appreciated.

thats whats in my head anyways, basically most of its untouched, just redone. Dropping one of the isd and vsd variants would open a slot but I'm not sure what could go in their place. Gimme your thoughts anyways and we see what we end up with. i had an idea of putting Sluis van and bilbringi in 2 of the slots but not sure how that'll work out. Oh and Fighters CAN be changed too thanks to vakundok but the ones in there seem most appropriate to the timescale anyways.

Also can anyone tell me how to resize in gmax, get a polycount in gmax, and apply textures in gmax

if these questions are answered i could churn out plenty of modles to use

thx in advance (i hope)

It also provides somewhere for encouragement and congratulations of the team.

So update away!

1st we have:

1) Republic-class Star Destroyer(1250m long, equal to ISD in strength at half the price )

2) Belarus-class Light Cruiser(400m slightly weaker than strike cruiser)

3) Corona-class Line Frigate(based on original Neb-B Frigate)

4) Nebula-class Star Destroyer(1040m long, mobile battle platform like original ISD, with many ground units)

5) Agave class Picket(190m long, like a corvette, fast,stealthy, lightly armed for recon)

6) Sacheen-class Escort (375m long escort frigate replacement)

7) E-Wing...enough said

And then, the more advanced

1) K-Wing- heavy, high speed bomber

2) Defender starfighter- VERY manuverable, 3 lasers, speed of an xwing)

3) Endurance-class Fleet Carrier(Center of the fleet, 6 squads of fighters, decent armaments)

4) Defender class Star Destroyer(my personal fave equals an ISDII in firepower, known as a 'pocket' SD at 1040m long)

5) Warrior class Gunship (190m, stronger than the traditional Gunship, can blunt the nose of an ISD...fast)

6) Hajen Fleet Tender (unarmed big big big transport)

7) Majestic Heavy Cruiser(PURE combat vessel, strength of an ISD, none of the extra junk)

Defender-class Assault Carrier(700m long, 20 heavy lasers, 3 squads of fighters.)

9) C-wing starfighter(original design by Incom, Vader 'interrogated' the designers, so the plans were lost early on in the Rebellion. Very expensive, but a hell of a fighter...6 lasers, 2 ions, proton torp launcher, speed at about twice that of an A-Wing...it's basically a big interceptor, not necessarily too manuverable.

Well that's about it, i have more specific stats for those interested, i'll work on typing those up into a presentable format. I have designs for most of the ships also...but they're basically sketches. And without a scanner...well i cant really post them quite yet! I'll work on that tho. And have no fear, i have a list of Imperial ships that would be needed also for balance

Me, for example, will not make models, will not convert models (don't know how to make them, I'll do other things instead like new cards).
