Question Skp to msh converter?

[Stevodoran]

Hi all,

I have made a simple addon in Google sketchup and i was wondering if their was anything that can convert it to a msh. format.

Thanks Stevodoran,

 

[Grover]

ive tried for a long time. your best bet is to vconvert it to a 3ds, then use another program's exporter to put it into a mesh format

 

[Stevodoran]

So what could i use to convert it to a 3ds??

 

[Grover]

sketchup can export as 3ds, just go to file>export as and change the default type to 3ds

 

[Stevodoran]

Thanks grover

And heres the config for the vessel:

MaxMainThrust = 12000

MaxHoverThrust = 0
MaxAttitudeThrust = 500
COG_OverGround = 2.0

Its currently cfg based but i am working on it.

Anyone have an idea what could be wrong?

Thanks Stevodoran

your mesh is in the wrong place, you need to put the mesh in the "meshes" folder. if you put it into a sub-folder, change whats written in the scenario config to [subfolder]\[mesh name]

I am not sure if i understand. I put other of my addons into the vessels folder like this one and they worked fine.

 

[Grover]

im not entirely sure, but i think you put the MSH in the meshes folder, config in the config\vessels folder and textures in the textures folder, then orbiter puts them al together

Yes that is true but i seem to be having trouble with this addon.
