I save after doing anything now gap, then if something is bad, its no great loss. learned that lesson early, renaming the main bone screws the file as well as crashing the editor, going to try it on an unmodded file....see what happens.

will do some reading, although a 6cyl, is a 6cyl. it will have to do.

no I was thinking clone the mesh in max, then put 4 of them into a single file....worth a shot.

I was more surprised than amazed tbh, already done Gap, dont know why the black square shows in that shot, I could not see it when I grabbed it, and its good in Goblin as well

@Vecko .....looks good enough to me as well

although its a good job I don`t do it for a living.....otherwise I would be on 3p an hour and eating grass

Well I can rename the main (model) bone in the hull and ct files, as long as they are not modded. the hull with a changed texture sometimes works sometimes not.

the ct with a changed texture however seems to work, and will reload in the editor, but in goblin there is nothing there, no model shown at all, and only one collision mesh shown in the file tree (thats a fail then)

in both cases the editor throws an unhandled exception, but if you continue and save the file it is fine and reloads ok, and everything shows up in Goblin

@Gap a quick look in Rosslers book... says the IXD2 had 1 pair of the original 9cyl diesels plus a pair of 6cyl 1500hp diesel/electrics.

According to Wikipedia:

Type VIIA:
2 x MAN AG, 6 cylinder 4-stroke M6V 40/46 diesel engines

Types VIIB to VIIC/40:
2 x supercharged MAN, 6-cylinder 4-stroke M6V 40/46 or 2 x supercharged Germaniawerft 6-cylinder 4-stroke F46 diesel engines

Types IXA to IXC/40:
2 x supercharged MAN, 9-cylinder M9V 40/46 diesel engines

As long as the the latter (9-cyl) engine had its valves covered, and we can recycle the 6-cylinder diesels featured in stock U-boat interiors as additional engine for the IXD2, we should be okay
