I am just waiting on permision from Kreeargh to post any shots of the Illustrious, Now was wondering do i keep the model as is, or replace parts of it? what do you think? though i guess that will be up to Kreeargh ultimately. And if i have time before i leave monday to go on vaction.

Will an SFC OP version be converted from these nice ships, for those of us who use OP?

The difference between 2 and 3 is 2 has no glow thing, but has the light maps, also i believe that the hardpoints are reversed 1-11 heavy's 12- up is phasers etc right? is there any thing else different? now will not be able to do them before i leave Monday morning for vacation, however i could do them when i get back. If the above is the only difference it should be no probelm to convert them to sfc 2. Or if somebody else can do it i don't mind, not sure if you would need mind-blips permision or not to convert them.

I believe your correct on the steps to Convert an SFC3 mod to OP Perhaps one of our veteran Modders can confirm that since
I can't mod for the life of me.

just so ya know, when I downloaded the starslayer and the refit, it appears you placed the same modfile in both, as they are identicle. I don't get red engine domes, class B nacelles, or the -A reg when I place the refit model in max, it appears you just zipped 2 uss starslayers.

Hummm will have to check that when i get back off vacation, and see what i did wrong, and re upload the correct one then. Thanks for the heads up.

Usually, it's best if you completely redo the hardpoints on the model while converting. SFC1, 2, and OP allow groups of weapons to fire from a single hardpoint, while in SFC3 only one weapon can fire from a single hardpoint. Primary weapon hardpoints in SFC3 are 1-11, and heavy weapon hardpoints are 12+. Also, SFC3 contains three pictures of the ship, (shipname)BS, (shipname)TI, and (shipname)VL which are not needed for the other SFC games. There is also a .txt file that gives a description of the ship that isn't needed in the other SFC games. Damage textures are handled differently in SFC3. SFC3 has a separate damage texture map and damage illumination map for every normal texture and illumination map with a D at the end of the name. I'm not sure how SFC2 and OP handle damage textures because I've never added ships to those games before. Finally, SFC3 ships have a .gf file included that contain hardpoint and glowgroup information. This file serves no purpose for other SFC games. I have converted several ships made for SFC2 and OP to SFC3, but I have never converted SFC3 ships to SFC2 and OP before. Hopefully, this information will be helpful.
