Adding new parts to "Franken" planes
« on: December 12, 2012, 10:15:12 AM »

Sorry if this has been asked before, but is there a way of adding new .msh parts to an existing aircraft purely with copying and the .hier file? I've tried various methods so far, such as copying existing parts, copying parts wholesale from other aircraft, all of which have resulted in the model not loading at all.
I'm halfway through a "kitbash" model of the Kamov A-7-7R autogiro, based on the one posted on this forum (posted by SAS-Skipper, I belive). Obviously it's very rough atm, still building it:

I'm still having some trouble with this - i'm trying to transplant the damage models from the Sea Fury to my BV P.194 project; the "D0" files have gone across fine, and the plane loads in game, but the D1, D2, D3 files etc won't. I've tried a few things, mainly re-naming the Sea Fury Gloss and Matt .MAT files, and the textures they call, so I can have say, damage.tga and .Mat files in the BVP directory for voth aircraft simultaneously (i.e the wings load the sea fury damage textures and the fuselage the Me210 textures). This hasn't worked, and now i'm at a loss. Any thoughts?
