Adding new ships to SH5

iambecomelife · 03-05-10, 11:54 PM

Hello; I am wondering if anyone has successfully added new ships to the game or imported SH3/SH4 ships. I have tried so far with no success. I would love to know what the correct process is for doing this.

Similarly. I'm from 2005 year collection units for 3 and 4 parts. Now I have near 800 ships and 200 planes from various autors and years. If anyone can convert for SH 5 - I send him and after convert him u/l units for all.

As I understand need convert DAT files from old ships to GR2 format SH5. It's all what I clear now.

Well, according to another forum I visited, Granny 3d costs about, oh, $10,000 - $12,000 per license...? That's a little much for me.

Let's hope there's another way to get ship conversions done.

I don't think its possible to go directly from dat to Gr2.

But the game should be able to read dat files.

Are there any practical reasons behind changing the 3D-model format or it was rather a political decision?

Nothing political its just that both dat and gr2 files are what you get when exporting from Max. So they are two results of a similar operation done by different exporters.

I suspect it would be technically quite hard to take the dat and change it into gr2.
