How to update the unity version of a .mu file

[VoidCosmos]

The title says it all.

I want a pre existing .mu file to be updated to unity version 2019.3.7

The mu file was made in ksp 1.2.2

You can try the Blender .mu Import/Export plugin, import the .mu, save it as a Blender project file, import it into Unity and do all the stuff needed and then export it again with the Unity Part Tools.

Why do you want to update the Unity version at all?

This would only make sense if you wanted to change/update old concave colliders, materials or animations if you don't want to do any changes to the model itself. Everything else has to be changed in the part.cfg.

that strikes me more as missing textures not a .mu issue

It works in KSP versions prior to KSP 1.8

And also are there any EASY and UPDATED unity tutorials?

When I try to import it into unity, I do not get any material files. I don't know why!

New KSP's won't accept DDS textures anymore.

A workaround is to edit cfg and describe there the new texture file.

It's only DDS with DXT3 compression that's isn't supported.  DXT1 and DXT5 are still valid.

What should the .cfg file look like. I.e. what should be changed?

And also, how do you update a .DDS file?

VoidCosmos, do you know how to use Photoshop? Or a good image program? Photoshop open DDS if you put a plugin in it. I have it both.

If not, we can try this, you send me the texture file from your model, and i convert it to you, to TGA (i prefer TGA because it is lossless, but KSP accept other formtas too). Then you just move your texture file to another folder (do not delete it yet), and put the TGA, with the same name in his place (but extension different). KSP will recognise it automatically. If it work, we will know for sure is the type off DDS with DXT3 compression that is not supported anymore, so will fix it and you can delete the old one.

If not, is other thing.

Now only the parachute shroud has the same issue as above
