You could try my tool (sig) if you haven't already. It's still not recommended to use for public mods though as it's an alpha version... You can report problems in the thread in my sig.

thanks, maybe you'll see the vesikko on the waves soon

the only catch is that the vesikko has a diffrent conning tower, but i don't know if it was on during the early war

can anybody research this?

I started playing around with unpacking/packing objects and all. I can get them unpacked with pack3D no problem. I can import them into Wings3D (but can't into Maya) and adjust/manipulate them to what I want. I then export them from Wings3D as an OBJ but then can't get pack3D to import it.
When I view the OBJ file exported from Wings3D it doesn't say anything about # of triangles used whereas the files exported by pack3D always do. Could this be why?
Another question: you import your object into Wings3D (from pack3D's export all) now how do you get the texture to show on the object?
