Holy cow, the lifeboat looks great, I didn't know that! I want it in my game!

Best candidates for import should be only from SH4 or stuff created by the community.

On the other hand, there is a problem with the manpower. There is only 2 moders working on importing stuff and they still learn how to make it right. Only enthusiasm is just not enough, this is a very time consuming process. Sadly, there is not many who would like to involve into this project.

I agree! And if we can't make the guns and instruments look better (occlusion map), that basically leaves warships out of the game. Warships are weapon platforms, and if it looks like it's 3d model from 1997, it's no good. I can live with small merchants who have small tiny ugly guns, I guess the were unarmed until the end or middle of the war??

And one more thing, my mission is completed when Zedi has the 5-8 small merchants in his campaign, that was the reason I joined this quest in the first place, to get the campaign ready ! So after that others have to start importing. We'll make a new tutorial, it's really quite easy, the basic steps atleast, really almost like drag and drop. I have only made one change to the dat file (!), all other work is fine tuning.
