Moin,

I´m off for a day and this thread burst at the seams.

I did so. I used my barrel´s object id as parent. But without any success. Might be I have to go to the doctor to get my ears checked.

It depends. You can use internal textures that will be imported to the *.dat or an external one.
Internal:

• You´ll have to create the appropriate number of nodes in the *.dat
• Import your texture files (*.tga) to *.dat using Pack3D
• Make sure all polys using the same texture have the same id
• Adjust or create the data block in the *.dat that controls the texture-poly correlation

External

• put all textures together in one
• rework the uvw mapping to deal with one texture file
• name the texture SHIPNAME_T01 / SHIPNAME_T02 / SHIPNAME_T??
• place the texture in the vessels folder
• be sure to have a vessel cloned that uses external skins (e.g. my barrel) or create a node that references external textures

If you need help, just ask.

Check my filefront site and download Skalenwand.rar. You can use it for correct scaling.

Not possible. The 3d program´s smoothing groups will be ignored. In case you apply smoothing to your object, SHIII skips it and even stops smoothing it by making all edges angular.

It´s in the pipeline. The *.zon is still waiting for adjustment.
