Title: Techs question
Post by: anubitus on May 09, 2007, 06:54:26 PM

in the manual for the techs, the section for the ablative armor, it says that if you want it to show up as a targettable subsystem and a lifebar, you have to add a hull subsystem to the hardpoints file of the ship, can you pls tell me how to add this to a .pyc file..? i gave my prommy and my defiant the AA but i d like to add it to the HP file too..

Ok, open MPE, open the model. Then, when you want to open the hardpoint, type the following in first:

Code: [Select]

*.pyc and press Enter.
Now, find your hardpoint you wish to change.

Change your hardpoint. And when you save it, make sure you save it as a py file (so not a pyc file).

MPE (Model Property Editor) is part of the BC SDK (found on BCFiles). There are various tutorials on how to use it (check out the BC Modding forum stickies).
