I tried that, but it is too vague. I just need to know where to click to make the "Make External" thingy show up. THat's all that stands in my way.

On another note, I made a ship called "Stoner". It is a gutted asteroid full of ship. PM to download!

Select and then right click on the entry for the texture in the 'Outliner' window in Wings.

Why not post it to Oosat?

I might. But all I could do without the Obj2DatTex thingy is replace the models and textures of an A-Wing with asteroid models and such. I feel like a theif. Besides... It's not very interesting. I didn't write a single line of code for it. Where can I get the Obj2DatTex thing? Actually, if anyone has it, can they e-mail it to [email protected]. If you can. My Mac is fussy, and downloads work best from there.

Actully, I can do the drop2dat thingy, but a NEW problem has shown up. ow do I make the propertyist with a text interface? In TetEdit or something? I made a new, really neat ship, and it has all the list, but it won't load. Poop.

So that will make it work? IS it free? And why won't what I already did work?

On the Mac, I'd reccomend Property List Editor and/or Xcode, both of which are part of the free developer tools. Property List Editor has a somewhat restrictive interface which always generates valid plists. Xcode has a tool to validate plists and tell you where any problem is (Format menu -> Parse File as Property List).

So there I was, cruising through the Reesdice system, when I came upon this...

It just ain't natural...

After a few minutes they separated. I guess they were done.

You should have joined in. Two more and you could have had a Voltron.

Ma-ma-ma, ma-ma-Macron one! woot!

That is one funny pile-up.

At first glance I thought it was a subentity that could not find its model....but those do not have exhaustflames.

....actually you could reproduce that easilly, by attaching a Boa to the front of the Pelamis, and add an extra exhaust to the nose of the Pela.

I'm imagining 'Futurama-esque' pile-ups of ships near bussy stations.

Mommy, where do escape capsules come from?
