Other than that, maybe the UV map got corrupted during conversion? I think I'd need to get my hands on the files and play around a bit to figure it out.

Only thig to remember is that Nexus recognises 2 ship sizes - strike and capitol. Not sure on the exact threshold but obviously, you don't want to make your big ships to small

« Last post by USSCrazybat on March 07, 2017, 03:13:06 »Thanks for your help so far. I just managed to recently convert a high-poly model over from Bridge Commander - but a small portion of the ship is completely black. It seems to be an issue with just this model, as I ported over another ship afterward and it had no such issues. Would you have any suggestions? I've checked the .tex files and there doesn't seem to be any alteration to the images themselves.

« Last post by USSCrazybat on March 07, 2017, 02:00:36 »So, I've managed to successfully convert a high-poly Bridge Commander ship into Nexus! I'm pretty pleased with myself right now. There's only two problems. One - the ship is back to front. Two, the ship is tiny. An easy fix - but is there any set value I should be scaling my ships to?

Given their unreversed alpha maps and text as well as lack of hardpoints compared to the other ships in the mod, it looks like these two were just direct conversions from Bridge Commander. I'm going to see if I can hardpoint them myself. They're the highest quality Prometheus/Saber meshes out there that I know of - if I am going to do my own Star Trek mod those will probably carry over.
