Custom Missile Models

Hopefully I'm posting this in the right place, since it isn't a bug but more just technical help?

I've been trying to make a custom projectile model and can't seem to be able to convert .ms3d to .cas

I was just wondering how you managed this - any help is really appreciated

I have no idea, I'm afraid, I don't do the projectiles in EBII.

Have you got the M2TW tools for 3DS Max? That has .mesh and .cas converters in it.

Nope, I use milkshape - I'm guessing that's how you guys did it? :p

Thanks for the reply

You can also edit the cas projectiles in milkshape. The IWTE lets you convert them from .cas to .ms3d and back http://www.twcenter.net/forums/downl...o=file&id=2741 in the "Strat_Map" tab use the "Write/read Strat Cas" buttons.

Thanks, I've given this a try and it does seem to work in that I can write cas to ms3d and back just fine, but the the game crashes when the projectile is used ingame? Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

I did it like this:
read strat cas
write strat cas to ms3d
read ms3d strat cas
write strat cas

I never used the converter for missile cas files, so it might be that, afterall it is meant to be used for strat map models :p
It might also be something with your model/texture though, have you tried converting a vanilla model to ms3d and back without amending it and see if that still works ingame?

Do you happen to know who worked on that part? I'm having a bit of trouble :p
