I loaded my model, then it said do you want to load an hp, I said yes, went to ships/hardpoints and took the nebula.py and opened it, while opening it mpe crashed.

the stock ships have a little problem.  there is technically no "py" for the stock nebs, you must load the PYC version, instead

eh? I'm sure the py files of the stock ships come with the sdk....

neb is correct - all stock py files are in the SDK...

Have you tried Loading, any other HP, this helps determine if its MPE or the HP. [sometimes things do get corrupted]

yes ive tried loading the neb hp that comes with sdk to, and a galaxy class one.

Title: Re: MPE help
Post by: Nebula on December 03, 2009, 09:26:04 PM

have you run the reg file that came with the mpe??

Title: Re: MPE help
Post by: deadthunder2_0 on December 03, 2009, 09:35:25 PM

Post by: Vladko1 on December 04, 2009, 07:02:57 AM

Try to open the HP with notepad to see the HP, because maybe its not fully finished downloading (archive was damaged) and in the HP has missing parts.

Title: Re: MPE help
Post by: Nebula on December 04, 2009, 09:05:15 AM

wait are you sure you're opening the hp and not the ship file??

yay got it to work, but i had to move the pys in sdk to get it to work, stupid me.
how to determine a location now is my Q

Title: Re: Determining position in mpe
Post by: KrrKs on December 05, 2009, 09:22:46 AM

I think to press "L" and click on the desired Location on the Model saves the Location. Then you can click on "getLocation" or something like that in the Subsystem's Tag
