HELP!!! (LODs & stuff)
I've already posted a similar question earlier, but didn't get too many response  

Anyway, I've got my big caphisp done, and i have TS1 scene with  a set of objects, 4 for the debris, one with the turrets glued (LOD1)  and another 3 for LOD 2...4.

So, how exactly do I glue them together?  Also, I'm using TS1, so will any problems be caused by objects named detail,1 etc?

Finally, when i've been gluing the turrets to the ship, it works out that when I glue the object to the hull, next object I glue is a child of the hull and the previous turret.  Does this matter atall?
 

What i'm trying to finish

(No one ever seems to answer me   .  Have I done something wrong? - except asking daft newbies Questions)

Didn't I tell you how? Or I told somebody... ah wells.
 Basically, you just glues each new level of detail to the main hull as child, like you would a turret (ie, glue light as sibling, glue light/turret combo as child). Only thing is, you have to name the light/turret assembly as Detailxx (where xx= LOD).
 Debris is the same, just call it Debris.
And when you glue the new turret to the turret/hull combo, AFAIK it'll create a "redundant" sub-object in Freespace, which is the combo... This shouldn't cause any problems (apart from it being very annoying) but I know no way of doing it so this doesn't happen.
