I need someone to do some minor changes to a ship model

[LarryHookins]

I'm working on modifying a ship for Vehicle Simulator which uses compiled .x files.

I have no experience to make changes to the ship model, and I'd like to remove a jib boom extension and reattach a few lines to the end of the jib boom that remains rather than attaching to the end of the jib boom extension.

I can open the compiled .x files in MeshX and export a text version of the file, but I can't do anything with it or make edits to the models themselves.

If anyone is willing to work with this I'd be much grateful. Thanks.

That sounds like something a modeler could do.

Ines Diaz's TOOL can do some stuff with .x files (feature added at my request for historical Virtual Sailor reasons).
The possibilities are probably limited, but it might be worth a try.

I wasn't aware that TOOL could edit the files. I'll have to look again.

Not that it matters. TOOL will not read either the compiled .x file or the text version.

I think I used it exactly once to convert the stock PotC brig to Virtual Sailor.
But that was easily 10 years ago and I never fully finished that.
Too bad that doesn't work now, but not really surprising.
