Still more problems with the Model Importer.

[ElizabethLestrad]

Alright I've read all the texts and read through the links already on the forum, and am still experiencing problems importing models with the editor. It says everything imports fine but then ingame its still the old models.

 

Then there is the fancy ISD model thats in the *.x format and the model importer does not seem to like it. Is there any way to get it in the RMD format?

 

Anyway this is what I am trying to do:

 

VSD I - Updated Model (Complete)

VSDII - Sovereign Model

ISD I - Updated Model

ISD II - Alliegiance model (Complete)

Assault Transport - Arc Hammer

Carrack - Updated Model (Complete)

Dreadnaught - Updated Model (Complete)

Lancer - Updated Model (Complete)

Gallion - Eclipse model

Star Gallion - Nebulon-B2 model (Complete)

SSD - Updated Model (Complete)

Interdictor - Dominator model (Complete)

Escort Carrier - Star Forge

 

Anyways, I need to make a card for the Eclipse and the Star Forge since there are not ones made already, and I need to know where do dl the program from.

Try putting the three .x files in a zip file and change the extension to .rmd

 

I will make a card for the Star Forge (I made the model may as well make the card )

[ElizabethLestrad]

The zip file only comes with one .x file, thats it. I've had this problem with both the Sovereign SSD file and the ISD file. Regardless it wouldnt do me any good until I figure out whats going on with this darn model importer.

 

You dont have any screenshots of the starforge ingame do you?

[Mad78]

copy the .x file 3 times. Name the copies: close.x, medium.x and far.x

Put those three files in a zip and change the zip's extension to .rmd. That should work.

 

I will try getting some screenies of the Star Forge. I recommend it be used in combination with the Mask's Battlestation program

I have a problem with the updated SSD, it download fine but when i open the ZIP it wont copy to the desktop or anywhere. I can move it around the ZIP but when i try to move/copy it nothing happens.

 

Whats with the ISD2 thats underneath the first one on the Model page, it says its in RMD and a lot bigger. But you download and its the exact same file as the first one Size and all. I did what you said for the ISD XWA.x file, but it didnt work. It still says "A model with a different name was found, bla bla bla."

[Mad78]

Strange. Is it the updated ISD II that you are trying to upload?

[ElizabethLestrad]

Its the one off the Woodsboro site.

[Mad78]

I shall try and look into it tomorrow. Tonight i am woking on the Star Forge card.

[Zer_Teron]

Im talking about the two on the Model download page here, both are the exact same although the second says its updated and in RMD format, which its not.

[ElizabethLestrad]

Oh well. Maybe itll be fixed. Until then I guess I still have time to find a model importer that works.

[AdmiralToguroAni]

I hate to ask, but have you downloaded Reshacker and put it in the same directory as the model importer?

[ElizabethLestrad]

Hmm.. no. I guess I could give it a try. It didnt say anything about it in the instructions so I didnt think about that.

[Mad78]

I think you are supposed to do that. Try it and see.

[ElizabethLestrad]

Well whatdaya know...

 

Well it works now. Unfortunately now I just have to wait for several of the downloads to be fixed.

 

All of these files only have one *.x file and no *.bin files

 

-Imperial Star Destroyer

-Soverign Star Destroyer

-Eclipse Star Destroyer

 

It is kind of strange though that the textures dont show up as well and as detailed as they do in the screenshots of the ships though...oh well.

[Mad78]

Well the absence of .bin files is surely due to to the absaence of textures for if i remember properly some of the models are untextured. Try doing as i mentionned before.

[Zer_Teron]

Didnt work on the ISD, now ive got an untextured ISD, which its sad to say still looks better than the ones Lucasarts made

[ElizabethLestrad]

Well I got the model in game, though it looks kinda weird without textures. I tried borrowing the bin files from the VSD model but that didnt work. Meh it was a good effort, I guess I'll just wait for Empire at War or Reloaded to come out (Whichever arrives first).

 

On a side note, the Star Forge model was awsome, but like the other custom models the texture didnt show up right...weird. I wonder if its because the game doesnt like the custom models or that the textures are too high res, because even close up, they dont look as good as the screenshots.

 

It would look cool though if it was reinforced with Sith cruisers and fighters.

THX i think i may try and correct some of the texture bugs some time.

The sith cruiser shall be done after the 3 other models I have to make this weekend.

If your doing what I think your doing then

[Mad78]

Here are some sith starfighters to replace some of the fighters in the game. You will need to read Mask's new fighter tutorial to know how to install them. Enjoy!

[ElizabethLestrad]

Nice, Im going to have to try them out. Say have you gotten the card for the StarForge done.

 

Either way, Im looking forward to pitting the might of the Sith Empire's "Infinite Fleet" against the Rebels.

[Mad78]

God Forgot about that one

Will see if i can work on it today

[ElizabethLestrad]

Heh Heh. I knda figured that.

 

I cant wait for more of your models to come out though. Im really looking forward to having a massive battle over Rakatan Prime with the Star Forge and a fleet of Sith Cruisers and Fighters.

 

Its just too bad they only have 4 types of ships.

 

-the Sith Destroyer (ex. Leviathan)

-the Proto-type Star Destroyer (ex. Ravager)

-the Sith fighter and Sith bomber/transport

 

But then again when you got ships as cool as those Sith Destroyers that the Star Forge makes you dont need variety.

 

Just make sure if you do a Revan card that you make him dark side .
