last question, Truespace wont open .pcx files as textures must i convert them to bitmap first?

Yep. BMP or some other file your 3D program understands. Irfanview's batch converter is probably the easiest free tool you can use for this although PSP and photoshop will be able to do it too.

Armada 2 uses a wierd fromat (.odf) any idea how to get my models into that?

You'd be better off asking at an Armada forum methinks

no one is there, i am willing to revive the mod as it looks simple once i figure out where stryker left off.....

The Format .ODF I believe is the individual ship table. Instead of one huge table each ship has it's own entry (called an ODF file) text format.

The actual MODEL is in SOD format I think GMAX, 3DS (since it's not free I don't have that)... Some Unwrappers and Milkshake support SOD format. Main problem is getting SODS exported to .cobs!! I have never gotted an Armada2 ship into freespae except for the ones Little Ludi converted over at Freespace2Sector (bless his German Heart!). There is a completed Homeworld FS2 mod... (I kept the Hades for a low poly long range view that actually uses a model) so I can make a scene of mass Hades Destruction without taxking my system greatly!

Forgot URL but off main homeworld site it is JTS online try RELIC (UK) board... As for solid snake I chatted with him a little over at ArmadaII files.com and SGN, Seems like an interesting project, but I'm all RTS-outted. Once I finish ArmadaII I won't be modding it, Like I retired BOTF, I played all the races and then added the dominion mod and played them all again to beat the dominion and retired my CD's... FS2 Forever! (ok maybe not , but definately for a loooooong time still!)

Hmmmm... so we have a strange unknown outpost on the edge of known space that was working on technologies never before seen by the GTVA. And now the crew have gawn and done a Marie Celeste!
Sounds like a Fan Fiction in the making to me
