Need help about wings 3D

Need help testing contributed art or code or having trouble getting your newest additions into game compatible format? Confused by changes to data formats? Reading through source and wondering what the developers were thinking when they wrote something? Need "how-to" style guidance for messing with VS internals? This is probably the right forum.

Need help about wings 3D

Post by Nicko »

I read the wiki HowTo Create ships in Wings 3D, installed the plugin and created my model, but I can't find the "Vegastrike tags" for mounts, turrets...
The howto says they should be in the right mouse button menu (the same where Cube, Sphere... are, right?) but I don't see them; I have searched for them everywhere in Wings, without success.

Hope this is the correct forum, thanks for the help...

PS Wings is 0.98.29b from ubuntu package, and I tried versions 1.3 stable and 1.4a of the plugin.

Here is how you insert them.

This is exactly what I mean: my menu ends at the "MORE" line, I don't have the "vegastrike tags" in the menu, so
a) I need to install some extra plugin which wasn't mentioned, what?
b) Should I change something in preferences?
or
c) My wings 3d (0.98.29b) has something wrong, so should I try installing another?
