Hello all. I am using Milkshape to make some 3D models for Freespace2, but I don''t have a way to import them into the game. Does anyone out there know how this can be done? Thanks.

What format are you importing your model as? Let''s see, there''re md2, md3, ASCII, 3ds, [insert all of those FPS acronyms], et cetera formats. Each format has it''s pros and cons, for instance, the md2 and md3 files contain your Milkshape keyframe animations, while your own format, another possibility, may only have the models'' vertices. To export from the Milkshape modeller, try File>export>format....?

I have a loader for the ascii MilkShape format (*.txt) and a tutorial at http://home.planet.nl/~monstrous.
