Title: how to make this?
Post by: sfcv on March 23, 2010, 10:13:34 am: how can i make sfc 2 models compatible with sfc1, and vice versa. i tried in sfc2 first. i took the sfc1 gsb model and made it compatible. it worked. then i tried to make the HDX model compatible with sfc1 by removing the illumination. i did that and got an error when i started a skirmish. why?

You'll need to remove those self-illumination calls inside a modelling program like Milkshape, 3dsmax or gmax.

I am with him here, the only difference between the ships was illumination maps. They have to removed from the model as well as the directory the model is in for SFC 1. In some o those programs you have to remove them from the folder inorder for the calls to them.
