CMP Importing Help
-
Hello all!
My name is Sam, and I’m a programmer who currently is working on space projects in the Unity 3D game development area (For school).
I have been a life long fan of Freelancer and I really wanted to use some of Freelancers models in a custom game for a project, but I am having issues with Milkshape 3D unfortunately.
The program crashes everytime I attempt to import a cmp, and I have found no viable fixes for this yet. I’ve been at this for about 2 weeks now and can’t figure it out.
I was wondering if anyone could lend me a hand in converting some ship models so I can get them to 3ds max with textures, and from there I can get them into Unity myself.
Is there anyway to circumvent Milkshape for this process?
Thanks again for anyone you can lend a hand or advice.
Sam.
**EDIT: Milkshape is bust for both my computer and Laptop unfortunately, it just doesn’t stop crashing, could be Windows 10, video card, any number of reasons
=============================
**EDIT -> Proud to say I got it to work! Used a virtual machine for Windows XP that works on my system! Hooray!

If it really doesn’t work, just list all models you need and I’ll do it.

Appparently there are a lot of compatibility issues with windows 10 just not working. I’m going to attempt to Virtual Machine it from Windows 7 and see if that works, I’ll know by the end of the day
If not, I’ll shoot you a message. Thanks again.

Under the heading of a day late:
Some people (–----) created a game for google play called Interstellar Pilot using the unity engine that went so far as to rip off not only Freelancer but X3 to boot.
Think all the fun you have when all the ships in the game can only move on one plane? No up or down. (Loud raspberry). Unity, great for android smartphones, which is probably why you’ll never see Microsoft making an android release of Freelancer even if this smartphone I’m using now has 4X the power and twice the memory of the PC I first loaded FL on in 2004!

Speaking of CMP importing help, I’ve ran into having to revert to 3DSMax 2009 64bit and need the MS3D IMPORT-EXPORT .dle and more importantly the CMP and MAT exporters. The need for these dinosaurs is that this version has some killer pro tools filters and such and as. Any MAX users know, one years filters won’t work in an older years build. Or sometimes newer builds. (Loud Sigh). If anyone has these in their closet I’d appreciate them.
