Yes. Anyone. I challenge you to get even one JUST ONE of my models into truesh*t 3.2 with it's texture on and then in-game. I warn you though, although the model I give you is a simple 2 minute throw-away, it has been tainted with the curse of me and so will fight with an unholy fury against any inclusion in a game! Fear ye brave souls! Weep and despair!

Done.  ;)

Okay, I would like you to tell me, step by step, as though you were talking to a complete retard, how you did that.

Ok...  I opened up your blender file, then I exported to 3DS.  I opened up your file in Milkshape 3D and fixed the bad face normals by selecting the bad faces (in MS3D's selection editor) and reversing their vertex order, then exported to 3DS again.  I opened up the 3DS in TS3.2 and glued a light to the object.  I then opened it up in PCS2, added a thruster, and exported to POF.  After that, I modified one of the TBMs I had in my tables folder to load the missile model.  Done. ;)

BTW, converting is the kind of stuff I'm good at.

Yeah. I've tried to do it by exporting 3ds into truespace but then it asks for a 3ds scene file or something and I can't get the texture.

I'm using the question marks as their more elite fighters anyway. They're not actually fighters, they're just highly advanced computer drones.

Yes you did but your texture didn't show up.
Then again, Talon's method doesn't net me any textures either...
Could you explain it again only pretend I'm dumber

Replace fighter01.pof in the Ulysses entry with unknownship.pof and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Well, I did apply a material to the model before I exported it for PCS2, if that will help you.

Oh, I shouldn't forget to mention the conversions I did with nVidia's DDS Utils.

 :blah:That's not terribly helpful. I tried doing that but the texture wont show up in freespace.
This is what I did.
1.Fixed everything in blender
2.Export>.3ds
3.Import to truespace 3.2
4.Get error message
5.Locate texture map after prompt (texture is already in data>maps)
6.Save as .cob
7.Open PCS
8.Convert .cob to .pof
9.Add thruster
10.Save in data>models with name of harpoon

Then when I use the harpoon in-game, it's just an invisible start to an orange trail.

That's a long standing infrequent error for last 2-3 years. I converted a test missile for the Zents and the only thing that showed up was the engine glows I added and the missile trail. changing to JPG or TGA didn't help and never did find a solution or more importantly WHY it happens, so I gave up on adding custom secondaries for a while.

Does the model open up in PCS2 with textures? (If you haven't already, you'd need to set up the texture paths first though: Options->Preferences->add "C:\Freespace2\data\maps\" or wherever your map is)

If it doesn't appear there, you might have an invalid texture one way or another. Ideally you want DXT1 (no alpha) .DDS image in data\maps.

Can you post your texture, cob and pof file?
Do not meddle in the affairs of coders for they are soggy and hard to light

 
Not even geometry appears in pcs 2.
I can give out the cob and texture but the pof is pointless.

You haven't actually applied any material/texture. TS reads it as being correctly UV mapped, but without a material - which would explain why nothing could see it. :)

Also, you need to have the missile in the cob facing the left - easiest way to check is to set your view to left view and rotate until it points right at you.

Well I got it to show the texture in truespace but converting it in modelview, pcs or pcs2 screws it up! What the HELL is wrong with it this time?!

EDIT: okay, all I did was just reload the model and regrouped the objects and it works fine now???
