Hardpointing Problems (Solved, for now)

[Kirk]

I am trying to  conform the stock shuttle hp to Halo's pelican, however, I am being baffled with a strange error. All of my systems in MPE are quite far away from the ship, but in BC they are placed correctly. I can't figure out why this is happening.

Edit: I started from scratch

Edit2: More woes. My "phaser" property is not working. Code attached.

[Starforce2]

You don't appear to have the master system for the phasers. Unless that's what gunner is?

[MLeo]

The system name starts with a number (in the DisplayName it is allowed, but not directly there). Which is not allowed.

What you are allowed is the following:
Start with a letter or an underscore, followed by 0 or more combinations of letters, underscores and numbers.

[El]

Yep, MLeo's right, the 70mmchaingun property needs to start with a letter.
Also 'gunner' appears to be a torpedo system. As starforce says, you need a master beam system.

[Starforce2]

completely missed that number thing lol. I must be gettin rusty.

[Adonis]

Also, for the phasers, SetWidth and SetLenght cannot be 0

[Kirk]

The system name starts with a number (in the DisplayName it is allowed, but not directly there). Which is not allowed.

Alright, I fixed that now.

Also, for the phasers, SetWidth and SetLenght cannot be 0

How can I make it like a point phaser then?

Yep, MLeo's right, the 70mmchaingun property needs to start with a letter.
Also 'gunner' appears to be a torpedo system. As starforce says, you need a master beam system.

I have set it to phaser in MPE.

Also, the problem with all of the points being way off the model still persists and I am baffled as to why it exists.

[El]

Check the model scale setting.

[Kirk]

0.01

It's to do with the arc I believe.

The width and length have to do with the actual beam.

[El]

0.01

Try and set it to 0.1 and see if that makes a difference.

that lenght and width controls the size of the elipse a phaser would fallow to appear as if it fires from a bank such as with most fed tng vessels. Setting those to .001 will give a point emitter as with a tmp vessel.

As far as items being off the model:
First, rotate and zoom in so you can easily see the place on the model you want the phaser to fire from.
Second, select the weapon from the list on the left and open it's window. Make sure you can still see the weapon location.
Third, hit the locate tool (arrow with a solid mass infront of it) and then click on the location you want to be.
Then hit "get position" in that little window. I can't offhand remember which tab it's under, but you can't miss it and there are only 4 tabs so...
Repeat as nessecary.

It did make a difference, but the properties were still off from the model, I am experimenting with other numbers though. (I find it curious that this the only ship I have found that does not work with the standard 0.01 scale.)

Excellent, I just saw that on the shuttle hp.

The problem is that what I do in MPE does not translate into BC. The properties would be perfectly placed in BC, but in MPE (shown above) they are way off from the model.

[Starforce2]

is it uniform? IE, are all properties way off the front? To one side? Your model may not have been properly centered When it was converted. That will usualy show up in the MPE. If you have, for instance, 2 engines, assuming your ship is symetrical, the X value of one of them should be a negative number, and the X value of the other should be a positive of the same number (after a couple decimal places thay might be off). In my early days before I learned to convert things myself people doing it for me would screw them up resulting in this exact problem. Another easy way to figure it out is to place your hull property at x,y,z, of zero, exactly, and increase the size of the hull property to somthing silly so you can see it easy (like 10) and see if your model is lined up.

[Kirk]

is it uniform?

Yes

Your model may not have been properly centered When it was converted.

I attached a picture of the model in Max. It looks centered to me. (Note, not being rude, just to the point.)

That will usualy show up in the MPE.

When the model is opened in MPE, the camera is centered on the model properly.

If you have, for instance, 2 engines, assuming your ship is symetrical, the X value of one of them should be a negative number, and the X value of the other should be a positive of the same number (after a couple decimal places thay might be off).

This does happen.

This centers the property in BC, but not in MPE.

[Starforce2]

strange. ALso, pay no attn to the mpe camera. It will always center the model. When you put the hull at 0,0,0, what does it look like in the MPE?

[Kirk]

In the picture above, that is a torpedo launcher at 000.

[Starforce2]

that's your issue. But from the max image you provided it appears centered. I bet somehow you moved it right before you exported or something. It happens. If nothing else, I can convert it for you, just give me the length in meters, and you can try that. Or export it yourself again. Try to center the ships mass on the 0 in all axis, see what happens. Could have even been an exporting glitch.

[Kirk]

The thing is, I'm just hp'ing it. That is the exported .nif that I just imported into Max.

Model scale is a t 0.06
