texture is all over the place in o2 but fine in 3ds

hey guys,

i've searched but cant find anything specific. so my issue is, i created a model of an artillery shell with wires (IED) in 3ds no problem. i unwrapped it in 3ds and textured it in Photoshop. so far so good. i then ported it into o2 and converted the file to a tga/paa etc. intially i couldnt even get that texture in game but now its working. my only problem is, it doesnt seem to be mapped right. im kind of new to all this especially when it comes to O2 so please if you reply, put your answer in newbie terms if you can. anyways here is my model textured in 3ds along with the texture and map

If I understand correctly, then that thread seems too have the same issue, and a few posts down there is a link to a solution.

Hope that helps.

I would check any unmapped faces and remove them. It looks like a 2k map, which should work just fine.

Have you tried VM_s-P3D_Export?
