Galciv2 to Armada conversions

[SpaceMaster]

Has anyone tried to convert a designed ship from Galactic Civilizations II to Armada II? How do I do this?

[Freyr]

Do you mean a ship designed in the ingame ship designer thing?

If you do, I seriously doubt it's possible. I might be wrong though. If I am then i'm happy to convert a few of my own designs across.

I think the starting point would be asking on the galciv2 forums if it's possible to put a custom design into a format a modelling program could deal with. Once it's in any modelling program then it's just a case of converting it to something that milkshape can read to be able to convert it to .SOD

The models are in a strange format .X is the file extension but its not a DirectX based mesh. Textures are in PNG format so would require converting. As Freyr suggests you would be best advised going to the main GalCiv2 forum and asking about it. I suspect though that the answer you get won't help a great deal.

errr look at my earth conflict alpha mod Earth Conflict, Star Trek: Armada 2 Downloads, Star Trek: Armada 2 Full Race as it uses gal civ 2 meshes and textures (altered to fit together) pm me if you need more help with the stuff :P

I knew I saw those models somewhere before

[Major A Payne]

I stand corrected but in the three modelling utils I tried I got a mesh error each time.

some of the meshes dnt work but most do (atleast using ms3d)
