i have never been much good at modding, i usually always fail. ill model a really good ship in lightwave the spend hours looking for ways to get it into a game,(homeworld as the example) and fail. o.k. this is what i understand and have done so far. the models ingame are in .x format, so i have downloaded a .x exporter for lightwave not sure on how it works fully yet tho. ain't got a clue on textures, except ingame they are in png format. oh and the descriptions for the ship are in xml. right spent 3 hours now reading forum posts to get this far lol. now im at a loss. say i got my ship model in x how do i get that into the game?? and how do the textures work? is there specific software tools to do this? is there a guide or a tutorial to show how to get a model from any 3d package into the game? hope some one can assist me cos im confused already lol.
