so I made a ship and called the mesh ship in xsi then duplicated it and called it ship_collision then I exported it and put it into my msh file in my space map, I ingame and I spawn yet I fall down through it, when I enter a ship and leave I pass through my ship, why isn't there collision?

Name it collision_ship.

make sure it follows the rules for collision found in the documentation

(here is an online link): https://sites.google.com/site/swbf2modt ... /art_guide

and follows the ZETools guidelines: http://schlechtwetterfront.github.io/xs ... xport-coll

I just make my model.
Name it.
Copy it
Then Name the copy. By the way I think question about making models belong under a different gametoast category.
