How would I go about reversing the normals in milkshape?
Ive done it before, but maybe im doing it wrong.

I mean, I can see why It's doing that.
I just want to know a way to combat the normals.
Maybe reverse them along the Z axis to battle the mis-lighting.

This makes me wish vehicles could be lit like bricks so they wouldn't have to use normals. :\

No one knows how to fix this? :(

I had this problem on the revolver model but I don't properly know how to fix it. I ended up merging several model groups together and apparently it worked, but I'm sure that's not how you actually fix it.

I fixed it by accident on my sentry. ;D

Yes?

There's a button.

Looks like you've got reverse-normal syndrome, did you mirror anything?

There is no button to reverse normals in MS3D, if you have Reverse-Normal syndrome you're pretty much forgeted, unless you edit manually or backtrack through the mirroring processes you did.

I've tried that :/

Well, in Blender there's a plain "Flip Normals" and "Recalculate Normals [outside/inside]" tools so if all else fails you could use them.
