LUA for beginners

Using Windows I start modelviewer.exe by double clicking it. At the prompt just type the model name alone. Pyramid should work if the model is written properly. Try typing nice_spacestation and see if that shows up. Btw, if you make a change to a model and reload it the changes wont show up. You need to load modelviewer again to see them. I think, but I'm not positive that to make a building show in a spaceport you just need to give it a building tag and put it in the buildings folder. I'm hoping that someone with more knowledge than I have will come along and give us the real scoop.

got it. Nice_spacestation works.as well as any model thats listed in data/models/ships.lua or stations.lua.maybe my model needs to be in this ship.lua list, as "Lanner" doesnt work. figured it out; "Lanner" doesn't work becasue the model is called "Lanner_ub".thanks.it's alot like learning a new language.It would also help if i were more consistant with my spelling of "piramyd"
