I've found that my cmp export crashes if my main model has no skin..

And God said,
E=mC²
And there was light.

Yeah, the only time i've had that is when the first group doesnt have a skin. Just create a new material and assign it even tho its blank. If this doesnt solve things you are in trouble

boy why dont you just ask the guys who made Milkshape? or M$ ?

Imagine thankx but that wasn't it...and the guy who said to ask the person who made milkshape? I did and he didn't answer so thats why im puttin a forum up. Also did u mean to right click and select textured because i did and it took longer to have a problem. So maybe that was the problem and i have the wrong version of something or other...i don't know...post a response if u figure anything out or know what im doin wrong

you know, the chance that noone helps you here is very high too, I dont think that anyone out there have an idea about the windows code, im sure not even M$ have. Who can exactly say why your Milkshape is crashing while on another comp it do not?

Try the standard workout, get your latest windows update (start-windows update)
Get DirectX 9.0 (version a is still a little buggy)
Get the latest Gfx drivers

Maybe it could help when you tell us what error message you exactly get.
But for now, I gues the best thing to do would be to reinstall Windows. I run winxphome with milkshape and have neither problems with milkshape, nor the cmp exporter, so it is most likely no Win or Milkshape problem, but your comp.

Spaz, email me the .ms3d file you are trying to export and i will see if it works on mine.

redeye i don't understand what u mean...heres what im doing...i import the ship off DOGA or a DXF file and it imports it into milkshape fine. Its when i try to export the file into a ms3d file when the program has an error and shuts off. But if u want i can send u the DXF file and u can import it and try to export it...i might be doin it wrong i don't know...

i export the doga ships in vrml format and convert it to 3ds .
After that milkshape has all the materials and groups listed
if i try other formats like lwo only 1 group and 1 material ahows up
Prolly the dxf format generates errors in the design while importing and make milkshape crash while exporting
i use deep exploration to convert the vrml files into 3ds which milkshape imports and exports to cmp without problems
I made many ships that way and this is far the best methode i found so far to get ships from doga into freelancer

Alright GreyWolf...first of all thank u kindly for helpin me out with the program that works best. I have found this program and when i try to convert it to 3DS MAX format the program says...3DS MAX COM plugin not found...where do i find this pulgin...?

ok got another problem...i have two engines on both the wings of my ship...then i put the ship into DE the engines r taken off...
