importing .X files/models

[Ed Kolis]

The DirectX SDK has some mesh-viewing tools, but the SDK is a rather huge download (>200MB)... LithUnwrap is known to support .X as well, but if you're using my Wings->X exporter there seems to be some sort of issue with the files that LithUnwrap can't read them...
To import the models into Starfury takes a bit of work...
1. copy campaign 1 to a "testing" campaign
2. place your model in the XFiles directory and its textures in the Images directory
3. edit Main_XFiles.txt in the campaign directory, replacing Terran_Destroyer.x with your model's name and fixing the model radius and model scaling fields as appropriate
4. run Starfury and start your campaign

With Lithunrap, you don't need to use the Wings X exporter..just save as .3ds and use lithunwrap to save them as .x.
