I know, I set it there. On purpose. 0.01 (the normal scale) does not work. (Which baffles the living s**t out of me.)

Edit: For now I am going to set the scale to 0.01 and just guess and check the properties in game. I really hope a permanent solution pops up.

Edit 2: Added a .gif that shows my problem.

what seems to be the issue in this image?

Kirk · « **Reply #22 on:** August 17, 2008, 09:42:10 PM »

Watch the whole .gif (It's 4 frames)

Starforce2 · « **Reply #23 on:** August 17, 2008, 09:57:52 PM »

I'm not seeing any changing...

Kirk · « **Reply #24 on:** August 17, 2008, 10:00:42 PM »

It works for me.

I did set the frame rate to 1 frame per 5 seconds.

LOL! that is one crazy error you got there.

and the gif works fine ;)

Starforce2 · « **Reply #26 on:** August 18, 2008, 02:53:47 AM »

so the ship is invisable from certain directions? Or appears to be seenthrough in the mpe? It's a model issue.

I think the point was it is waaaaaaay off center.

Almost cerainly due to a dodgy export. You'll need to get it re-exported properly.

It more than likely , due to a dodgy export,
what is your model texture path suffix, set to?
try re-export

I'm not quite sure what you mean there.

tiqhud · « **Reply #31 on:** August 18, 2008, 10:17:33 AM »

"model texture path suffix" is the Very last setting on your Options page.

is this your doing, a new HP for a ship? if so you do need to re-export.
I my experense as you open the Nif, then load the HP, it should say noname in your right menu [at least that has been the way it has happened for every GOOD ship\nif\model] , but everyopne I ever gotten without noname has never worked well and I had to send it back, to get redone.

Ah yes, /high

tiqhud · « **Reply #33 on:** August 18, 2008, 10:31:49 AM »

an example

Kirk · « **Reply #34 on:** August 18, 2008, 02:24:36 PM »

Well, I let lint take a look at it and according to him, the node structure was all goofed up. I'm working on it in MPE right now, ~~and from what I can see,~~ everything is much better.

~~If this works,~~ lint gets a cookie!

It works! Yay! Now, there's a few more problems. My "Phaser" (the 70mm Chain Gun) does not show up in the targeting menu, ~~and the ship is only AI flyable, the player can't use it. (Instant CTD, I'm installing the console tracker now)~~ (Forgot to add a repair system. Doh!)

Kirk · « **Reply #35 on:** August 22, 2008, 09:36:21 AM »

Well, right now I'm taking a break from the Pelican while lint fixes some more problems with the model. Instead, I decided to dust off a ship that's been sitting on my HD and give her a hp. However, weird things are happening again (as they always seem to do with me.) Now I have a rouge blinker that doesn't make any sense. It doesn't move with the ship, while the ship is stationary (however, it does move with the ship while the ship is in motion) and it blinks at it's own speed, not with the other blinkers, and it only happens with my ship.

Adonis · « **Reply #36 on:** August 22, 2008, 11:51:00 AM »

Ok, I'll go as I read through the thing:
1) Fusion reactors shouldn't be on primary, the warp core needs to be.
2) Either set the warp engines or the plasma manifolds as primary

But I cannot tell you about that blinker issue without seeing the model itself.

Kirk · « **Reply #37 on:** August 22, 2008, 03:45:25 PM »

Model posted.

Adonis · « **Reply #38 on:** August 22, 2008, 08:27:09 PM »

Hmm...where should I start...

The mesh is a royal mess.

Basically, the model needs a report. It needs to be cleaned up (some bmp's from the SFC port are still in place). Only if I'd have time to do my from scratch to ingame BC tutorial for adding ships...

Kirk · « **Reply #39 on:** August 22, 2008, 08:31:22 PM »

:lol: Oh man, I seem to pick the worst ships to learn hp'ing on. So I ought to give this one a pass? I have a few TOS/NX era ships I could try hp'ing.
