Oh and grunt. Thanks again for that tut, it was the most useful one I've seen so far.

You're welcome.  
Ah and that was the most positive feedback I've seen about it so far.

And the exact symptoms of my TS51 experiments are like this:

Created one single cube in an empty scene. No other objects to glue or whatever.
Textured it with one single bmp.
Saved as scn.
Opened in PCS 1.1.01 (indeed an ancient one but works well with earlier versions of TS) for SCN to POF conversion.

The result:

You forgot to group those objects !

Interestingly Cob2FS2 did the job this time.

Try the same experiment with TS4 and you`ll probably get the same result. I don`t know about the earlier versions but I think the result was the same with TS2 when I tried it.

Stick a turret to it however and it will convert fine. PCS won`t convert a model unless is has a sub object of some sort (LOD, Turret, Debris it isn`t picky).

Cob2FS2 on the other hand doesn`t care if you've only got a single ungrouped model

Grunt, the best thing to do is to just glue a lightbulb to the approximate centre of it. PCS likes that

As I remember I've also tried it with complete models imported from TS1 which were previously converted from TS1 with no problem.
And it gave the same result.
On the other hand I don't like TS51 too much. The interface is a bit chaotic IMO, and 3DS MAX is a lot more reliable and precise.
Though 3ds files imported directly into TS1 could not be converted in some cases. But when I imported them into TS51 and resaved in 3ds format, then loaded into TS1 it was OK.
Crazy isn't it ?

Right you vultures. Here is the gunship as it is so far.
The readme should answer any questions.

So star dragon, if you want to try your hand at texturing it, be my guest.

I thought this would be a simple spend hours going through every texture I have looking for right combination of style but unfortunately it only takes 1 texture (the second slot seems to make no difference)... I DLed ultimate unwrap sp I will be learning how to apply textures to raw models. Sorry if i misrepresented myself, I only use 3d exploration to replace existing textures on prepared models. Still new at this. (but looking at the model has given me some ideas)...

Just do your best, and you will be rewarded?
