I am designing a ship using Gmax. I need the .md3 gmax exporter. Does anyone know where I can locate it? I need to move the ship to MilkShape 3D so I can finish it... Or am I going about this the wrong way?

Ideas, anyone??

One question...

Is it possible to remove camera shaking when ship hull is hit for certain ships? Or to reduce it?

I want to know if something can be done to the Eagle.

By default the Eagle has it's shield installed over the top of the cockpit in that harpoint located there which you can see if you look down on the eagle. But it always looks as though there is nothing installed there and its an empty hardpoint due to the overall look of the sheild installed on that hardpoint if you get my drift.

Is there anyway to put a different item on that hardpoint that still acts as a shild like it should. But just has a different look installed so the hardpoint looks filled. Maybe put somthing like the image of a counter measure icon there instead.

Basicly just for cosmetic looks, so that hardpoint looked filled proper with an item installed there acting as a shiled image.

I've just started modding. There's one thing I'd really like to mod, but I'm not sure it's even possible.

It is possible to update the prices of goods to suit the server and the admin's taste, and even add new goods. However, I want to provide a dynamic trade system, where there is a set demand, and trading the goods updates the price of the goods, relative to the goods demand on planet, on the fly, multiplayer server still runnning. Which begs the interesting question...

How does the multiplayer server access the INI files for goods price. Does it A) Access the file, and load it into memory, or Access the file, and then drop the file, each time it accesses price lists. If it loads it into memory, then doing dynamic repricing would be far more difficult. Anyone who can answer this question, I'd appreciate hearing from.
