(actually written by star destroyer, noggin the nogs son) How do i make a ship with pre built parts? Like the head of an argon titan, with the back of a teladi condor. I have tried, but all i see in game is a mess of gate and docking bay parts. And please don't tell me to read the sticky, as it doesnt make sense to me. This is what i do if it helps to find the problem.

1) Import the bods i want into 3dsmax7

2) Place them together and export any objects i have modified into V, as a .bod body.

3) Export the whole thing into cut, as a .bod scene file.

Do i have to do anything else? like reset the x-form, or collapse something? Could someone help, because this question has been bugging me for ages.

I'm almost certain there are some tutorials linked from the tutorials sticky that cover this exact information. Please take a look through the linked tutorials. They're in the modeling / meshing section I believe.
Cheers.

Hehe nobody ever gets an exact answer to their modding questions lol I know because I've asked a lot of them myself. I know that read the stickies line is annoying but it's because nobody wants to type for half an hour to answer your question lol and the answers are there scattered about in various pages of info. It helps to read the info anyways because sometimes you might not understand something until you have read it several times over ya know process of osmosis and all that.

Hehe your going to become as annoying as I am asking questions on how to make ships etc etc

Because i cant afford 3DMax i have to make ships out of existing parts the normal way.....notepad

Thats right you can make ships using notepad but they cant have custom parts gotta be all x2 parts im afraid

If you want when i have time i can dig up all the questions i asked and then post the thread links on here so you dont ask the questions no one will answer

go look for a program called Metaseq leigon, its free and does 3D modeling but not sure if its anywhere near as good as 3DSM because i cant afford it

Ive done some FFXI modeling in it but dont know if it will work with X2 stuff, but you can give it a try

That's why it's always best to ask questions in threads that already deal with the topic, rather than starting new threads. That way the info is all together for easy retrieval by someone else later on.

(hint hint)
