ferrium doesn't have ueberships - probably just start with fresh ships if you want to model for me

Its not a uber ship. Just very feared.

Yes, go thru Karajorma's tutorial, then if you want to know how to run TS go thru mine in my sig.

But, all you should have to do, is glue a light to your model in TS, then use POFCS to convert.

To make a light, right click to camera icon, and scroll up to the light bulb icon.

Use the glue icon, and glue the light to the ship hull. The glue icon if right next to the undo buton on the most left part on the sidebar.

Press save as, and put what name you want it.

Open POFCS and up at the top is a sidebar called conversion, click it scroll down and press COB-POF, the just find your Cob model and it will convert if there are no problems.

If you want a full overview go to my Tutorial also.

I can't place anything on my model... I right clicked on the bulb but it just brought up a small menu with check boxes. What then? oh wait, never mind.

Crap, I saved as cob (as binary) and used pcs but it crashed every time! Damn man this is getting agravating!

How did it crash, and did it give you an error? I'm not good at telling what the error was, but someone else could.

The stage between model and POF is always the most frustrating and nerve-wracking, I often have to recompile models 15+ times as I spot errors on them etc.

Some things are really wierd, like the axes on turrets etc, and I tend to find that saving as a SCN file and converting that in PCS is actually slightly more reliable. Don't give up, once you find the common 'pitfalls' they are usually easy to avoid, but it does take time to learn things that PCS may not like, and I still have to re-read the Truespace hierarchy system for ships every time I make one

The way it crashed was that the programs interface turned white and wasn't responding. I tried again and it didn't work. Said nothing about any problems, all it did was eat up all my CPU power and stopped responding.
