It'll be getting a new name. Since it's a Medicean ship, it'll be an Italian name, but we haven't decided on one yet, so we're using Trident as the working name in the meantime.

Kuze, we've done another retexture of the Trident, too. We've decided to make it an older Medicean design. The rusty version I posted before is the used version in a state of disrepair. You'd see that among smugglers and frontier traders.

The one on the right is the new version, still showing it's Medicean colors:



We might tweak it yet, but that's the look we're pretty much going for.

The textures in the CAV's MAT are in JPG format. For FL, it has to be DDS or TGA, but HardCMP is a bit less picky. This is why you're having problems.

Now, here's what you can do. Extract all the textures using the UTF editor. You'll save them one at a time. Once that's done, delete the MIP0 node that it's attached to, then put the node back in by creating a new node and renaming it to MIP0 (or MIPS if MIP0 doesn't work for some reason. I'm not sure what the difference is.)

Next, open the textures in your editor of choice and save them as TGA or DDS. I suggest DDS, as TGA takes up loads more space. The DDS needs to have one-channel alpha (DXT1 if you're using Paint.net) or it won't work.

Finally, import the newly saved DDS or TGA files into the MAT's now empty MIP0 nodes. If all went well, you should be good to go.

EDIT: Or, you could just use the textures that Kuze uploaded in his last post.

Well, we got the Serpent working. The scaling was perfect at 85% of it's original size, so it's a great LF counterpart to the greyhound. Allow me to present the Tasmanian Mercenaries, Inc. "Devil" Light Fighter.

There is no loadouts.ini entry for this one. Loadouts.ini looks like it's intended for NPC ships, which we haven't included yet. So, there isn't an entry there for any of our ships. The files it's in are the ones linked on the first post. The loadout at purchase is in the goods.ini entry.

Also, I'm going to be away from home until probably Saturday evening, so I won't actually be able to get anything else done with this until then.

The nanobot limit of 0 is indeed valid. Broken Bonds is doing away with hull regens and making shield batteries regen your entire shield. But, you only get one or two. But, the point is, that setting is the same on all our ships, so it shouldn't be the source of the crash either.

Here's another of your ships that we're using. The Serpent has gotten in as the TMI 'Devil' Light Fighter to go with the heavy fighter. I shrunk it a little, and had to split the wings and tail into their own group to make the textures work the way I wanted, but here it is.



Yeah, it's not in game yet, as I'm having problems with that. Instead, that's a screenshot straight out of MS3D with the brightness kicked up a bit to bring out a little detail. I'll get you an in game screenshot as soon as I can, where I promise it'll look a lot better.
