Re: Milkshape 3D
 
when ever i export a modle from milkshape, the modle is always partially visible, im using stock textures on a stock sod that i am just moving it vertex's around to create new designs. why doesn't the modle then show up fully?

Re: Milkshape 3D
 
CDP, are you changing Save as Type to be an armada 2 sod, not armada 1? What parts are visible, only certain groups, or only the lit parts, etc?

heh, well I can't get the build HP's to work whatever I do, ships are built straight out regardless of what I do with the build HP.

I've seen stuff like this, where it says:

//repair hardpoint is where the top boundary of the ship lines up
repairSide = 0
But what exactly does this do / mean, and what number needs to be put there? (and why)...

Hmm, I have an Excelsior that does that, but I think it was for armada 1. :confused:

When I want a pod / build / repair point, I’ll click the h_hardpoints joint on the Joint tab, and then on the Model tab, I’ll click the Joint button. Then I click where I want to place it, then I click again about an inch away. You can then click on the Joint tab again and rename the first joint to h_hp01 or whatever, and you can move the second one so the first joint you added will rotate. Then just save and export. The second joint doesn’t need to be renamed. The trick is, it’s hard to tell exactly where it will be pointed in game. Sometimes it’s opposite what you would think.

So...

Say you select a joint, and name it as "h_repair" - you would then connect a second joint to that, and then put it in the direction you wish something to go? - the un-named hardpoint would be the direction in which the ship was built or repaired?

Ok, so you've done that, what about this:

Indeed, what does this mean? - What does it do, what number means what...

Re: Milkshape 3D
 
it could be an unused yes/no command which was replaced with hard coding. I may be a command to say what side of the hardpoint the ship lines up, ie: 0 is above. Try changing the value and see what happens.

*Continuation* group shows up and you can see half a hull, so you can see the other side of the hull that you can't normaly
