Well, I'm in the process of converting the Ezechiel (God I love that fighter) and I've been running into problem after problem.  Most of them have been solved, however, I seem to have been gluing the thrusters and the debris wrong. any help would be greatly appreciated, and I'm sure Venom would say the same.  If you want to talk on ICQ instead, my number is: 135976204

Um, glue a light to the thrusters, name the combo thruster01a.  The thrusters for the various lower lods are names 01b (lod2), 01c (lod3), etc.  Glue this as sibling to the hull... then glue the LODs together.

Debris, simply glue a light to the object and name 'debris' (the ',1' ,etc T?S add don't matter).  Glue as sibling to the hull, along with the LODs.

Is that any help?

er...that's what I've been doing.  still messes up though.  very strange.  if Venom will allow it, I could send the cob out to anyone who figure this thing out.

Update: got the thrusters to appear in Modelview, however, they were not seperated.  i.e. When I select thruster01, 02, 03, and 04 it dispays all of them at once instead of just one of the appropriate thrusters.  This is really puzzling.

Um, right... don't have a clue, then.

I feel like a dumbass!  I know what's wrong!  I used cob2pof to convert, and that always saves pofs as FS1 pofs!  there are no thruster anis for FS1 pofs!  Ha!  hopefully converting it to an FS2 pof will work.

Update: Another problem...the thruster's textures were never converted!!!
