Anyone ever fix the backwards Cardie Freighter?
« on: April 20, 2012, 01:55:51 PM »
Its really annoying so I was just wondering. I know about the ported A2 one on BCfiles but id rather just use the stock one. I tried messing around with the hps but you would have to use gmax or similar to actually rotate the model around.
All hail the messiah!

Backwards, as the HP properties are placed incorrectly? I'm not sure if I understand you correctly, I just never noticed anything.

I'm assuming the author means that the PHYSICAL model is backwards.

There was a mod on BCFiles that turned it around to the correct side, but I can't remember the name...

The only one I know of is U1's one, aka the A2 port you mentioned (well there are 2 different dated models there).

Doesnt the  HP need resetting, or does that rotate when Nif does?

Didn't think about that so, how would I do it?

in the list (lefthand side on my  nifsckope) go to 0 Ninode and right click go to transform and edit.

in edit window go to rotation settings and R then type 180 which will spin your model 180 degrees


@ tiqhud: i'm not sure but i think yes it would need updateing

perhaps if someone does fix this and make it proper as it should, it could be released to BCFiles...  :)

Finally got around to this. After about two hours all i've been able to do was mod the hp file. I just can't figure out the numbers to get the tractor and phaser beams to rotate to fire in the proper direction since no matter what combo of numbers I put in for them they never turn more than 90 degrees(sideways). I've turned the model around in nifscope but its still facing the wrong way ingame. It defaults to -180 but then tried 180, 179.9 and -179.9 and neither of them worked. I have tried everything that I could see but no affect. Any ideas guys?

thats because the model has to be PHYSICALLY RE-EXPORTED through Max or something.

NIF remembers the X,Y,Z, coordinates of the models when they are exported....

provided if this is all it needs ill be more than happy to do it real quick and post the rexported model

is the above link the right one?

Then the HP needs resetting.
