Click the link and read up about VPView. Once you know how to use it you can extract the ships and use PCS to turn them into cobs.

Or you can get modelview and use that to extract them.

bobboau, vadar hooked me up with the extracted .tbl file.

its not as bad as you think, i know what VPview is and what it does... problem is i cant run it.   on install it says i need .dll pack v2.0, gives a www.descent-freespace link, and i cant go to the site because its not there, must have been renamed or something.  

u have any idea about the .dll pack or where i can get it?

You could try downloads section of HLP as recommended in my FAQ.

thanx for the advice, ive now figured out how to make turrets with multiple firing points!

i found that the difference between V's models and mine was that V's ships (in modelview) didnt have guns assigned, only firing points on turrets.   i had assigned the firing points on turrets AND used the 'guns' tab in the .pof editor to add a guns entry.  apparently this confused modelview and assigned the turret only one firing point, for whatever reason...

anyway, they work!  thanx everyone!

Gun points should only be used for fighters. ei static one direction guns. ( not a turret)
