Uh. . . a little problem.

My release of the Yamato class TMP BB will take a little longer than expected, I messed up the hard points, if have any tips on phaser placement (DRIVING ME NUTS!!! ) or hardpointing in general let me know, I am a beginner HPer, still not good at it but willing to learn.

are you using MPE?

what seems to be the problem ? as Hobbs asked , are you using MPE (Model Property Editor) ? I believe I replied in the other topic about BC weapons limitations ;) as I mentioned I already tried to make a faithful Yamato for BC in 2008/09 so I can help you with many things concerning this ship ;)

Phaser placements, I try to place the phasers in the correct place but, when I test fire them the phasers are a bit off, i.e. to the left, right or too high. Yes I am using MPE, but as I have stated, I am a beginner, What I need is a way to determine the X,Y and Z coordinates on a model to precisely place systems and weapons.

for example: phaser bank turret 1 is at. . say, X a.000, Y b.000, Z c.000, I have to guess what are the coordinates of the bank turret on the model, I have tried using my mouse to place it on the right spot, after triple checking it is in the right spot, in the game it out of place. I need a way to find coordinates on the model, preferably by placing the mouse cursor on the correct spot, if possible.

I think there's something wrong with the model, I bet you won't be able to see any glows on or ambient lighting on it and it won't damage in game If I remember correctly there's something wrong with faces, I think they are flipped, you need to go through porting again because this model will never work properly ;) I had the same problem when I was porting ME / SFC3 ships to BC.

When locating coordinates and then pasting them into coord brackets are they always the same for one spot ? or do they change even if you click on the same spot ?
