Re: Important PCS2 Threads
yes

it is stabler than PCS1, it is easier to use than model view, and it has more innovative features than Aurora (and it won't turn your model to coal like later Aurora builds did).

it is the omega of all POF editors.

Re: Important PCS2 Threads
you do know I never used the phrase 'will be' right? I said 'is', as in the present tense.

Dearest sirs/dudes/demigods/_______(add your own),

There seems to be a reporting tool called Mantis -- that requires yet another account -- that I seem reluctant to use. However (and you may move/ignore/delete/_____(add your own) this post as you seem fit), I couldn't find an appropriate thread to post this in, so;

While the results of the PCS2 coding effort is the omega of all code and wonderful and that, how can I get it working? I bet it's the best thing since sliced bread, but I cannot personally ascertain this since I have not managed to run it one single time.

Unless, of course, it's supposed to give me the

Great Flameing Graphics error of DOOM!!!

Warning OGL reported "invalid enumerant" at .\pcs_file.cpp (1469/1518)
please report this issue to Bobboau

...or else...

[OK]

(OpenGL Version is "1.1.0"
Vender is "Microsoft Corporation"
Renderer is "GDI Generic")


error report.

Is there a new version coming out? Couldn't you just make the GFX toggleable? Meaning, as in "turn graphics on/off". Or "view model". Or something. Or please.

Or cordially,

that sounds like you are using the... wait no, you ARE using the MS generic driver for your graphics card, you need to update those.
what sort of card do you have?

PCS2 uses a few OGL extensions which have been standard since the turn of the millennium, but because MS likes D3D they haven't made drivers that were compatible with any version of OGL after there first iteration of directx. not that that realy matters cause you shouldn't be using the MS drivers for any longer than it would take to find and install the ones for your card.

Has anyone been getting collision detection problems? I've got ships that you can fly right through.

UGh most of my capships that I reimported with pcs2 are semi-hollow.  I bet the fighters are as well.  :sigh:

Re: Important PCS2 Threads
the cause of that is known - inverted external bounding box

please recompile those models from COB (with the Jan 3 2008 build) and it should be solved

For the record, the page in the attached thread where PCS2 is supposedly downloadable does not function. It's not even kind enough to 404, it just shows a pretty blank white area.

Then my swiss army knife broke. I get a wierd error when ever I load a model. It stops showing the textures, and everytime I click on the model, a little error box (never goes away) pops up. And then I have to close it through the Windows Task Manager. D:

I love the tool, but I don't know why it's doing this. I have a thread dor it already. Any help would be appreciated.

How do I control scaling with PCS2?
I bring in the model *.cob file it was .7 units long.
I figured PCS2 is in meters or unitless.
I wanted it 12
So I set the cob scale factor to 17.
Open the file again, its roughly D=12 great.
I set the scaling factor to 1.
I save my POF file, close PCS2, Open it again, open my POF file and it is 65?????????????
 :wtf: :eek2: :nervous: :hopping: :ick: :rolleyes:
How does the scaling work with this?
Every other program reads it and every file converted by them as 11.9 meters?
