Rename Eagle.mdl to file.mdl
place in MDLC folder
run convert.bat
open file.bgl with ModelConverterX
Export as a 3Ds file.

I was able to use the CFS2 DAIHATSU barge and fix it so it would look good as deck cargo-I removed the cockpit shield. I want to use it as deck cargo. I know they had an IJN Merchant Fleet mod that everyone (including myself) were very disappointed didn't come to fruition. I want to make it just a DAT file to add per the photos below. I'm not sure what the conclusions are on using this guys CFS2 files-but I extracted it from the CFS2 files altered it and intend to use it for myself If I can't release it publicly. (Still learning texturing). Anyhoodles this is what I have anyone interested in the 3DX file or Wings Obj file and wants to play with them just PM me.
Was anything ever decided on using these CFS2 ships in SH4?
If we can this deck cargo should be able to swim. I need opinions how to proceed.

Damn, these CFS2 ships look good in SH4 too . I remember that in CFS2 I couldn't use many of them at the same time because they slowed down my computer too much.

This is after a good number of hours working on it:



I used the Taiho skin to remap everything, and substituted the weapons for SH4 equivalents. Planes are from Von Dos SH3 carriers. The result is really beautiful.

Have to agree-you did a good jpob with that carrier. Right now I'm just playing SH4-not modding and getting a handle on 3dSMax via Youtube tutorials. Then I'll take a stab at the Daihatsu

I have loads of stuff like this. My only issue is the shimmering texture problems we had.

I see with interest that you have discovered Usio-San's wonderful ship models that he makes for CFS2. He is one of the finest Japanese ship modellers and much respected.

I do not see where anyone has actually obtained his permission to convert a single ship. I am sure it is a wonderful possible resource but he must be contacted and permission must be gained before any of his ships are used in any way other than as CFS2 models. His labours and his generous contribution are to be respected.

I will watch this thread with interest for this to occur. I hope it will. otherwise no use may be made of any of his models without that informed consent.

I am sorry if this seems to be a negative posting, but Usio who we care about and respect highly for his efforts, has had problems with this sort of potential use before. As any modeler knows his work has taken a lot of effort and research, and deserves the highest respect. If it is necessary and you are unable to reach him, i can try for you and am willing, just PM me to let me know. He is quite busy and takes time to respond, and has not in the past been entusiastic about a sub sim for various reasons. There are tough memories from that aspect of the War and it is never easy to judge what is felt over there about this.
