Loading Models

[PPQ_Purple]

I have recently come across a model from another PC game, Star Trek Bridge Comander. The game uses .NIF models for all of it's ships and crew so it might be of use.

Hovewer, when I try to open the models using the SceneViewer the thing just crashes, and when I load it into 3dMax it destroys the skeleton.

Could anyone take a look at the models and see if there is some way to open them using the SceneViewer?

SceneViewer only opens Civilization IV nif files, which are a different version the the Bridge Commander ones.

Which one are you trying to import?

Bridge comander files.
But I thought that SceneViewer couild work with any nif file.

Furthermore, when I upload it into 3dMax using the Nif plugins it destroys the skeleton, even thou the plugin is suposedly good for any nif file. Any ideas?

I meant which particular Bridge Commander file. Because it's possible that it would be easier for you to download my Star Trek mod and use a model from there.

I don't know too much about modeling, so I don't even know what the skeleton even is, much less how to help on that matter.

The easiest way to get the units work, is importing it in blender, and export it with the right version for civ. Shouldn't hurt the skeleton (if there's one).
No idea about 3dMax .
