Help me???

I am trying to make ship... It won't work... I had CMP that work at 250 kb... when export from Milkshape mine 20 kb... It don't show up like the 250 kb one in HardCMP.

Help please! I want it to work.

Uhm... how do I add the textures then if they aren't added?

Cause I just really want to get this to work...

Is it the textures that make it 250 kb?

Okay, I will try in a few minutes of posting this.

Okay I just did everything I could think of and still the same thing... The file still turns out as 28 KB... I exported the textures as the MAT file... (Tutorial says that's how you do it.)

STILL the ship doesn't show up on HardCMP... It's like it doesn't even exist when I try to load it up.

If anyone could help on a messenger, that'd be nice, way faster.

GAH!!! I'm sooo close to making it work!!! Tell me if you know how to help with this problem...

I start FL Server for Lan... Works fine now.

I start FL Game and go to multiplayer Lan.

I make account and go in game and am on Manhattan.

Now, when I go to Ship area... it crashes!!! Why? How can I fix it?

1. The ship does show up on HardCMP. That was one of the problems I was having. I fixed that though.

2. I'll go over the ship stats very carefully or just redo them. I believe they are correct though.

3. I'll check the hard points and make sure they are correct... I got a tutorial from Lancers Reactor that shows me all the needed hard points. I'll get my hard point list up for the ship. Then you can tell me if I am missing any. Please?

4. Okay, I have the .mat file. Exported from MS3D. I will make a custom .mat file for the ship and see if that works.

Okay, give me a little and I'll have a post up with what I've done and other stuff.

Yay! Nice call on that MAT. I had to make a custom one and not use the thing from MS3D.

Now, I just need to figure out how to make it the correct size.

EDIT

Okay, I sat there and tried to increase the size, but it stays the size on like 1/20 of the Rhino. How do I make it bigger? I tried scaling in MS3D and on the exporter... it stays the same.

Okay, I figured out how to make my sihp work and it's a good size... Now, my ship is invisible!!! I changed around the LOD from 0, 2000 to -100, 2000 to -100, 3600 to 0, 3600... It stays invisible.

Oh, and when I use thruster... it looks like an engine glowy thing is going straight up from the middle engine.

Tough most certainly, but once you get it down it comes fairly fast... Making something like Crossfire would take a lot.... A LOT of time.

Okay, seeing if that works... i know the thruster thing will

Well I fixed the Thruster. That was easy enough... Now... The ship is still invisible!!! I have no idea why... It makes no sense... It's not a texture problem, cause if it were I'd still see my ship, it'd just be white... I don't know if I should just give up or not... I want it to work so bad though

Well, I've done everything I know to do to make it no invisible. I won't know if the textures are working until I get the ship uninvisible. Even with OP's help it's being a bi*** and a half to work.
