WELL ITS A PROBLM I RAN IN TO GO UNDER THE FILE CLOAKS OR SUMTHIN LIKE THAT

Could you please post the code you did? We can't do alot without this...

Also, did you make sure that in Milkshape the ship is good sized and that its faces are not inversed?

I just was trying to through something together to make it work but the ship is totally invisible. the files are right as i followed the tatourials on how to do it. It might be that they are inversed. i will check that out.

Can you see weapons mounted on the model? There are numerous threads in the modelling forum regarding the issue of the invisible ship - its a common problem when creating custom ships It should be located a few forums below this one - although its a bit quiet.I would suggest a search of that forum - or jsut make the age of threads (top right) go wayyyyyyy back

Hope that helps you out somewhat - the answer is out there

yes i can see my weapons fine itd just the ship which i got to figure out why it is going this.

Well, this thread goes over the creation - as well as the invisible ships issue. Its in teh tutorial itself, as well as in the subsequent posts.

I would strongly suggest searching the modelling forum for some answers though - as I know this has been covered many times .

This thread is in the modelling forum:
Ship creation tutorial

no i fixed it. it was with my .mat file. the texture names in milkshape have to be the same in the mat file. i just found the plugin for milkshape that creates the mat files for you. its here http://www.lancersreactor.com/t/downloa ... asp?id=837
