Starsphere issues

Has anyone successfully imported a starsphere .cmp into milkshape? If I understand correctly, this also includes geometry other than just the sphere(?)

I just receive errors within milkshape. I'm really wanting to get all of the background geometry imported into milkshape....

if anyone has done this and can tell me how, I'd REALLLY appreciate it. Thanks!

I think there are some in th TNG-mod or in the Tekagis Treasure mod.

You won't be able to as the importer has become incompatable with newer versions of MS3D, Large vanilla CMP's will either crash MS3D or give you a pile of garbage instead, even some of the smaller ones don't import properly anymore, to date I haven't found any problems with the custom CMP's but only time will tell.

You can however use UTFedit to swap the textures for your own to give you a new starsphere.

So, to which versions is it copatible?

afaik its never been possible to import the starspheres- i have ms3d 1.74(yes, i distrust updates, always)and i've had it way back to 1.54, and never have starspheres or any of the large cmps generally, been importable(without just getting mangled garbage)

I think this might run a little deeper than we think, I used to be able to import the hispania when I used 1.7.2, but I can't with 1.7.6. I uninstalled it an found my old copy of 1.7.2, and now I can't import it with this version. I'm starting to think that maybe updates to DirectX or OpenGL are whats causing it.
