Help with modifying the existing freelancer game ships

[Anubitus]

hi,

i always wanted to get into modding but for some reason it never happened… yet… until now…
as im pretty new to this modding thing im gonna wait with making my own ships and start by modifying the existing ones…
so i am gathering information as for how to make/modify ships for freelancer (and other games) and i was wondering, how can i get the vanilla shipmodels from the game into gmax…?
anyone knows how to do this…?

thanks in advance

To export the ships of Freelancer you need Milkshape and the CMP Importer.
There is no other way to do this.
Via Milkshape you can export it as .3ds file.

thanks for the reply

it seems like i have to get a older version of milkshape to get the cmp importer to work, is this still true…?

where can i download the cmp importer…?

thanks…
