I'v been sifting through the content in this forum but i can't seem to find my answer. Who does one go about removing the crew from the bridge to make screen shots? I have the relieve crew mod but then they always turn the chairs. I would like to take pic of the bridges with all chairs empty and facing forward. Would it also be possible to jest make them inviable or is there a way to disable them temporarily? I have KM and most all the bridges. Any help?

I think the shots of empty bridges are taken with MPE.

The textures aren't loading cos of the way you ahve to set MPE up...but I can't for the life of me remember how to. *bangs head against wall*

be sure the bridge nif itself is in the same folder as all the textures...
if it is not, then simply copy it into the folder w/textures...

Ok, it work, crack one up to you guys. I'd give you all a cookie, but din't know how. Now my next question is how to keep the screen striate. I go in the bridge to look around and next thing i know it's upside down.

It just occured to me that you can also use Nifskope instead of MPE. It's a lot easier to control.

It would be nice to have more control, but the link page wont let me down load. ERROR 500. I'm registered with the site. Guess it does not exist any more.

could be just me, tho...

dunno what to say, then...  it is unfortunate that nifskope doesnt seem to work properly for me when it comes to loading bridges :(
i wish i could troubleshoot why; it is much easier to navigate than MPE...

Is the nif in the same folder as the textures? That should do the trick.

in render settings i hit textures auto detect pathways and it loaded all the textures except for a hand full of lcar panels. Outher wise good call to all of you. Now if someone would kindly tell me how to give you cookies, you'll get a bunch.
