I have Modviewer but that does not save the files - I have to use a screen grabber (Hypersnap).

Aren't there any editors that can handle .mods. GMAX doesn't either.

Elowan - Try searching through the SFB forums, I believe that the .mod files used are actually created with a 3D Studio Max plug-in. I thought that the plug-in had been made available to the public almost a year ago.

Otherwise look for the program 3D exploration - it has to open lightwave objects and save them as a 3d Studio Max file.

As to 3D Exploration - it's now called Deep Exploration and I have it. I was not aware that .mod files are/were compatible with 3D Max.

Do you mean GMAX? It's strange that GMAX will not open .max files but will .mod files?

SFB = Sender Freies Berlin?, probably not

SFB = Star Fleet Battles?, more likely

Oops, Used SFB (Star Fleet Battles - board game) instead of SFC (Star Fleet Command

Elowan - Try Ghosts Fleet docks Message forum, there is a thread on the 3D studio Max plug-in with links to get it.
