Roguey i am sorry to complain but i went to one you your tut's for ship modeling but the "Observe's Material Editor" the link is bad and the Engine fx pack link leads to a bondage porn site so i am kinda lost it would be great if you could provide new links for those.
A question that has puzzled me for my whole 24 years of life. If a word is in the dictonary is mispelled how do we know?

hi, thanks for letting me know. I guess the links where in kilertide's X3 tutorial? It looks like sites: x3dmod, after-domination and ircwhore have all died and gone. Woh, I didnt expect so many sites to go dead. Well there isnt much I can do, apart from remove the links as I dont have copies of any of them. I can only host the stuff I have.
ps. I did have a few bits from his guide on page 7, which I have uploaded and replaced the links.

Hi all, The X3MM it seems that was made only for the X3 Reunion and X3TC, i started to try making my own ship, following your tutorial. But, i am having some probs. I may had done some error in the process of making an working file from the cats. since after i transform them in*.bod files, i cant work them in Gmax with dbox2,when i choose import and select the file, Gmax freezes and crashes. I used the X3 editor, to decompose the cats. But i dont know if used all the correct options, since the x3 editor its more complicated than the X3MM. Could you give some help ?. Thks in advance.

hi there, what are you trying to do? make a new ship from scratch or modify an existing one?
Either way, I suggest you extract all the cat/dats to a folder (if not already done so) using X3 Mod-manger (not x3editor). I personally didnt think you could use x3editor to extract all the files. Make sure you extract them all with box ticked decompress files, this should make most files readable. Models need to be further decompressed with X2BC. Dbox2 can only read uncompressed text files.

thks for the reply. No, i wanted to make a ship, like you did in your example of the TL argon. import one ship, then deleted and use the textures of the ship to create a new one.
since i am new in this mod things, i am trying to catch and learn
from the tutorials i read, i only need to extract the cats, right ? x3AP have 13 cats, but only first takes long time. by the way, good work Roguey, your tutorial its great

hi there, the guide you are following, is it this one Ship modeling tutorial? if so, its not actually written by me, but Killertide.
as for the cats/dats, you should always extract from 01 to last one (13), overwriting any files. the game will use last reference of a file, so if its found in 01 and 06 (say), it will use the version in 06.

ok, did all as in the tutorials, i had the files in *bod extension. first file i loader, the terran m6.bod, it went fine. tried to load any other ship file with bod extension, and gmaz freezes, cant even reload again the terran m6.bod i loaded in first time. I am becoming crazy with this. i may quit of all this mod thing, dont want to work with me.

its been awhile and im not a modeller. Although it does sound like a memory issue, have you gone into gmax and increased its maximum memory (in the options)? You dont need to go crazy, just times it by 4 or so.
I do agree, modding in x can be difficult and its very sensitive of what it likes too. In-game this can often lead to CTD when all that is wrong is the material definitions.
Ideally you want a modeller to help you, myself I cant make ships just adjust them and move things around.
