done figured it out why colours not working
becuase i converted the dds files to jpg. the jpg files are not possible to be a little transparent
pngs are
so this is how you convert the ships etc to obj to import to anywhere
1. convert all dds files in the texture folder of freelancer to png files
2. import to milkshape the cmp’s
3. export as obj’s
4. edit the obj mtl file to point to png files, exactly same line as before but change from .dds to .png in the material line (youll see it)
5. import obj into whatever 3d render you have
thats it after 3 days worked it out
then you can do same with the weapons etc
