Help with NX-01 Nacelle
 

I need help with Rick Knox's Enterprise. Everytime thie ship gets one hole blown in it, the port (left) nacelle disappears. AND, if I take a torpedo hit on the port nacelle, the whole ship explodes. And I've deleted the VOX FILES twelve times and that has not helped. I'm clueless and could use some help!

its the hardpoint file... download a new one or u could download the mpe (model property editor) and make ur own hardpoint... and the ship is prob blowing up coz the hull isnt stong enough or somthing similar.

Re: Help with NX-01 Nacelle
 

Where can I get the MPE?

Re: Help with NX-01 Nacelle
 

Its part of the SDK on BCFiles.

Re: Help with NX-01 Nacelle
 

None of those worked! Could someone else help me?

Re: Help with NX-01 Nacelle
 

what good would that do?
everybody would say the same thing
and that is the same as what he said

Re: Help with NX-01 Nacelle
 

Great. A year later and nobody knows what to do. :bawl: :bawl:

Re: Help with NX-01 Nacelle
 

We've already said what to do.

You need to download the SDK.
Install the MPE and use it to edit the HP.

This requires some initiative and learning on your part.

Would you like us to wipe your bum for you too?

Re: Help with NX-01 Nacelle
 

Actually, I already made three hardpoints for it and the things still screws up.

And that last part of your post was crude and didn't need to be said.

Re: Help with NX-01 Nacelle
 

Sorry about that was in a bad mood.

Have a look in the ship.py file and try altering the hole values.

Re: Help with NX-01 Nacelle
 

Hmmm. I opened the py file and found this:


import App
import Multiplayer.SpeciesToShip

def GetShipStats():
kShipStats = {
"FilenameHigh": "data/Models/Ships/NX01-Enterprise/nx01.nif",
"FilenameMed": "data/Models/Ships/NX01-Enterprise/nx01Med.nif",
"FilenameLow": "data/Models/Ships/NX01-Enterprise/nx01Low.nif",
"Name": "NX01Enterprise",
"HardpointFile": "NX01Enterprise",
"Species": Multiplayer.SpeciesToShip.AMBASSADOR
}
return kShipStats
def LoadModel(bPreLoad = 0):
pStats = GetShipStats()
# Create the LOD info
if (not App.g_kLODModelManager.Contains(pStats["Name"])):
# Params are: File Name, PickLeafSize, SwitchOut Distance,
# Surface Damage Res, Internal Damage Res, Burn Value, Hole Value,
# Search String for Glow, Search string for Specular, Suffix for specular
pLODModel = App.g_kLODModelManager.Create(pStats["Name"])
pLODModel.AddLOD(pStats["FilenameHigh"], 12, 220.0, 15.0, 15.0, 400, 900, "_glow", None, "_specular")
pLODModel.AddLOD(pStats["FilenameMed"], 12, 420.0, 15.0, 15.0, 400, 900, "_glow", None, "_specular")
pLODModel.AddLOD(pStats["FilenameLow"], 12, 820.0, 15.0, 30.0, 400, 900, "_glow", None, None)
# kDebugObj = App.CPyDebug()
if (bPreLoad == 0):
pLODModel.Load()
# kDebugObj.Print("Loading " + pStats["Name"] + "\n")
else:
pLODModel.LoadIncremental()
# kDebugObj.Print("Queueing " + pStats["Name"] + " for pre-loading\n")
def PreLoadModel():
LoadModel(1)



I see 'Hole Value', but I don't see a number next to it.

Re: Help with NX-01 Nacelle
 

The entries in the description relate to the numerical entries below it;

In this instance the Hole Value is 400.
A lower number is a smaller hole.

You may also want to change the internal and external damage res's.

Re: Help with NX-01 Nacelle
 

I changed that to this:

# Surface Damage Res, Internal Damage Res, Burn Value, Hole Value,
# Search String for Glow, Search string for Specular, Suffix for specular
pLODModel = App.g_kLODModelManager.Create(pStats["Name"])
pLODModel.AddLOD(pStats["FilenameHigh"], 9, 120.0, 9.0, 9.0, 90, 300, "_glow", None, "_specular")
pLODModel.AddLOD(pStats["FilenameMed"], 12, 420.0, 15.0, 15.0, 400, 900, "_glow", None, "_specular")
pLODModel.AddLOD(pStats["FilenameLow"], 11, 810.0, 14.0, 30.0, 300, 8500, "_glow", None, None)


And it still didn't work. I might not be fixable. Something could be wrong with the 3D model.

Re: Help with NX-01 Nacelle
 

Depends which res your running at, try something around 10 for the hole value, 90 is still quite large. Other than that your probably right about it being a problem with the mesh

Re: Help with NX-01 Nacelle
 

I spen an hour tweaking the numbers and all. It's more than likely a mesh problem. Thank you for trying to help. :)
