Re: Joint/Hardpoint Tree Structure Tool For Armada/Armada 2. Are any emitters other than the "plasma" and "steam" series used during hard pointing? such as "plasmasml, plasmalrg, steamsml, steamtiny, steamlrg"? -- Are the lights such as "color" and "constant or strobe" like they are in legacy? "whitestrobe" "greenconst" Blue, Green, Red, White, Yellow, Amber I believe are the legacy defaults. Then there are large variants of each one as well... "blueconstbig" I believe for example. Also for Lights can the "color" and "strobe patterns" defined as in legacy? For Legacy they are defined by entering specific data in to the "comment" of the particular joint in milkshape. ---- I don't have the game, so I would have no way of beta testing it. If a modder out there wants to test out a beta version I could put one together for you though, just let me know. Without a beta tester/user I won't be making any betas, I will just make a release version once the Legacy tool is fully debugged and do my best to set it up with what data I have and hope it works as I have no way of being sure myself. |
Re: Joint/Hardpoint Tree Structure Tool Quote:
Here is a list of sprites that are used in A2. There are more in the sprites file, but only one or two ships use them, so modders usually ignore them. No guarantee here.. btw. as a modder you can easily add new sprites to the game, so your program needs an option to add sprites other than the standard sprites. emitters: plasmasml plasmamed plasmalrg plasmaxl steamtiny steamsml steammed steamlrg steamxl Lights: blueconst blueconstbig bluestrobe bluestrobebig greenconst greenconstbig greenstrobe greenstrobebig redconst redconstbig redstrobe redstrobebig whiteconst whiteconstbig whitestrobe whitestrobe2 whitestrobebig yellowconst yellowconstbig yellowstrobe yellowstrobebig bigbillboard If you want the full list, you could ask for the sprite files. I believe that they are released on a2files. |
Re: Joint/Hardpoint Tree Structure Tool Thanks. The lists are for populating dropdown/combo boxes to make name selections quicker and easier. If someone wants to enter something not listed they can always type it directly into the box. |
Re: Joint/Hardpoint Tree Structure Tool Been quite awhile. Been busy with other things and Legacy work. But here is a video showing usage of the hardpoint/joint tool as it's rigged for Legacy at this time so some options are slightly different than they would be for Armada I/II. YouTube - Star Trek Legacy Modding Guide: LMTools Ship Hardpointing Does it look helpful and would anyone be interested in using it? I'm to used to getting very mild responses when I release tools, and generally have the impression I wasted time putting them together and out to the general public. This more so in this case, because for Legacy I actually use the tools personally, while in this case I would not use it as I don't mod Armada. Basically the tool lets you start with an empty joint tree, then populate it with the mesh groups and stick on any other joints you will need. Then you import them into your model. Any location based joints then get relocated in milkshape. If you then want to go back and do modifications by adding some joints etc you can either do it manually in milkshape (what a pain) or export the existing tree back to the tool and add the joints and reimport it into milkshape as seen in the video. I almost always go back to the tool to add more joints as it only takes seconds to do if I have the tool open. Where messing with milkshape selecting the right joint, then placing the new one and renaming it is a bit annoying to me. Kind of spoiled maybe, but if they are mesh joints then it is very easy to get them rotated or out of place when doing it in milkshape, but in the tool you always place them perfectly at 0,0,0 and no rotation. I have finalized porting of models that were originally done by other people and on a number of times that they have had mesh joints (m_) slightly out of place. |
Re: Joint/Hardpoint Tree Structure Tool Hell yea I would use that. Great work!!!:stallard: As for a luk warm respons remeber that your tool is actualy aimed at a small percentage of moders out ther as not all moders do full conversions or new build models. Other then making lives like mine easier the real value of such tools is that they encourage others to start this kind of moding. This covers both modeling and programing; skills that are always in uber high demand. Think about it you could be the insperation for the next DJ Curtis, Rick Knox, or Dasher 42.=p |
Re: Joint/Hardpoint Tree Structure Tool Great work, I'd certainly use it! Anything that makes hardpointing quicker/easier/less painful is a huge plus in my book :) I often find it to be the most boring part of modding and it actually puts me off working on a mod when I have a lot of models to get ingame at once. |
Re: Joint/Hardpoint Tree Structure Tool Looks great :) . I'll try to advertise it where I can :nodding: |
Re: Joint/Hardpoint Tree Structure Tool When I get a bit of free programming time away from the kids I'll see about putting a beta together. Biggest things are ripping it out of the LMTools to a stand alone setup. Then switching over the default tree structure. Then making alterations to the preset entries. I take it that the sod exporters do not use "comments" for the light sprites like Legacy does. That's the Color/Intensity and Pattern fields. The other thing was the Command Nodes. c_ they could be added or as they sound like they aren't generally used, could be put in the "Custom Named Joint" box with manual entry of the prefix. Someone from fleet ops got back to me initially, but didn't respond after that. So a Fleetops specific base tree and sprites might be something for later down the road if there is call for it too and I can get the info I need. Basically the tool wasn't 100% functional last I posted, but was getting close. Far easier to do the programming once and not try to keep two very similar tools up to date. While not perfect, it should be solid enough to need minimal modification at this point. |
