Solar Panel Encased and Airtight (DX11)

Description
Just a vanilla solar panel with a frame surrounding it.

I wanted to use solar panels on the side of my ship, but the vanilla solar panel doesn't meet up with the edges of all surrounding blocks. Not wanting to have holes in the side of my ship, I decided to modify the solar panel and put a sealed frame around it.

*Update 1*
Increased component cost to increase durability.

*Update 2*
Corrected model collisions to properly seal it so that oxygen doesn't escape.

*Update 3*
Updated XML to reference DX11 textures.

*Update 4*
Fixed construction models being tiny.

I am honestly a little surprised there isn't a small-ship variant of this excellent solar panel. I would like to request one.

I dindnt rebuilded the .mwm files. Its really simple just added the new Mount Points to the SolarPanelEncased.sbc thats all. Im not a moder im more like a Modtweaker. So i think this file is what you cal the xml. I did the relationt to the textures and also changed the sub-Id so everything looked fine. i also leaved to test everything like it was excepting the Mountpoints to keep the paths like original, so i dont know :) if you could explain me a bit more about the xml i can do it maybe. but how u see i think it should work

Moving the model and/or mount points shouldn't affect the textures. It's usually something to do with the references of the textures in the model not matching the xml.

I'm guessing you rebuilt the mwm file but maybe don't have the texture xml to go with it. Since I used Keens model, you can use the xml file that comes in their ModSDK for the regular solar panel. I didn't change any materials, I just added the new edges using the same materials.
