Do not use this retarded mod manager maybe?

Thanks. Yes, i have an understanding, but I need editor cuz I have no sense of systems coordinates. I don't like Level Planner cuz it cannot import map file into itself, so it's possible to create map only from nothing.
Oh, where can I dl Tib's or your editor to try?

This game is not for everyone. There're too much criticism on the web, related to graphics and other. But this game put me back to X2 atmosphere and that's impressive. X series is not about graphics challenge. For me, X is MUCH better than star citizens and everything other. Haters gonna hate. This game is not about all what these reviews say.

Of course but seems it will be much easier for topicstarter. Also we still don't have MAT exporter for Max

VRay is a renderer for replace vanilla Scanline and MentalRay. Rendering with it with good setups will make your images much more photorealistic.
In smoothing I mean at least to use MSmooth button on sharp edges.

Laws are not always right. They're sutuative, adjustable for economical and political situations, and often made for governments's self-defence. They cannot know and rule such things as people relations, and cannot even know the objective truth.
But yes, you own what you've made, and nobody is against it as I see.
I know that feel, I have my own project, btw. But i'd be pretty glad to share what I have after idea will be materialized and mod released. And I'm always free for exchange in sincere intentions.
Realize that "steal" thing means physical grabbing of an original source which exists in a single copy. Did he steal your HDD with sources so you don't own them? Nop. So, please, be kind and positive, ask him for adding a notes to readme, something else which will refer to your origins. He never said that your ships are his ones, and ever didn't tried to sell them as his own, never had an intention to harm something or someone.
Yes, of course stupid copypasting cannot even become a good mod, and time shows this. But that's not about copypasting, it's about people who make such trash and get a logical result.
I argee with most, just bring peace, bro, and don't feed your ego.
I hope you'd have a deal. Good luck both.

Ok ok I can assume that I wrote too angry post. Something unique is great and such intentions might be justified. But anyway all of our projects here are non-commercial, and I sure all of you must help each other to be better. Thats why he's wrong. But yes, some discussions and permissions should exist. This is not a theft at all, this is just an impoliteness - must be said. I hope you two will find harmony in this problem and nobody will lose something.

Sizer, what can you say about MAT files? How to make them for max-exported CMP?
