help with making a new ship

ok, leonhart i know you can help me with this, as you have used DOGA before, if anyone else can help, it will be much appreciated.

i downloaded DOGA, (great 3d modeller by the way, specially for ultimate beginners like yours truly), i made myself a spangly freighter/heavy fighter and everything is wonderful. then i export my ship in 3DFACE.dxf format and import it into milkshape. ok everything is lookin good, ship is a bit more rounded than it was but its still ok...

and then i get stuck..

from this point, how do i go about getting my ship into the game? what tools will i need? how do i skin my ship? will i need to do some funky .ini editing? and if so, how do i do it?? how do i create hardpoints on my ship? the list of questions goes on and on and on....

as you can tell, i am an ultimate newbie, so all help is much appreciated, and remember, ur gonna need to explain it all as if i have never modded a thing in my life b4 (which i havnt, apart from morrowind, but modding that is simple)


thanks very much

Sorry Nomega can't help you.I will not use milkshape to import ships I will use programs form Game X.I used milkshape before but it keeps freezing because my best looking ship darkfighter has over 8000 polys whish seems to be milkshape limit.So I will have to do it other way.

Sorry I could not be more helpful.

May strong survive and weak perish
