I've created a transporter from scratch is XSI and all those things.
I've done SO much of the .odf's I could as possible.
I took most of it from the LAAT/Republic-gunship.
but now I'm stuck with the questions:
how do I add places for more than ONE passenger?
here is the .odf:

what do I need to do if I want more passengers - and yes, I DID add hp_seat01, hp_seat02, hp_seat03, hp_seat04, hp_seat05 and hp_seat06 ... in the .odf of the rep_gunship/LAAT it has 2 turret positions, and somehow ALSO turret-settings for the 2 ball-turrets.
well, what does the PassengerSlot? and what should I then do?
thanks for answering
please notify me if I need to change/add/remove anything 
so I can't test it - and I'd rather not create my own map - lol - but I hope this works 
lol
