Converters may want to change format they're saving the model in, but they can do it using menu (and sooner or later, the model will have to be converted to POF anyway).

That seems like an argument for saving as whatever was opened.

[FUBAR-BDHR]

As a converter 99% of the time I want to save as pof no matter what format I opened.  The few exceptions are saving a model that was pof to a different format.  So other then pof I never save in the format that was opened.

That's what I'm trying to say.
You, like most people, save to POF 99% of times they open anything using PCS2, regardless of what they convert from.
So, it would be most comfortable if PCS2 defaulted to POF on save, since that way, people won't have to change it every time they want to save a file.
Personally, I don't see any reason for using PMF besides making backups, which is needed only on the biggest, most labor intensive models (like largest Esarai's capships).

How about if "Save As" always defaulted to PMF, and there was a specific File menu item "Export to POF.."?
- Export to POF shouldn't affect the data in memory. I'm guessing that's actually the case already anyway?

Then you'd always have a quick option to create a POF.

I would think 'Save' would only mean PMF, and 'Export...' would have all the other options, defaulting to POF, or what was last used.  But again, that's just me.

+1 to this suggestion. Even if "Export" as a menu option doesn't tree out but just presents the existing "Save As" which then lists only POF, COB, SCN, DAE.

OK, maybe it's a good idea, but make sure that it's on the toolbar, like "save" is now.

+1000 for these, especially the Global Importation of turrets bit. I do not care so much about those two bugs listed, but my phone is unable to view the lower half of the message n the reply window...

The ability to type in the info instead of being required to use the pull downs.  Right no it will let you type in the info but then changes it to detail0.

Oh and still really need the global import to parent turrets by name not object number.  Redoing 100+ turrets every time because they parent to the wrong object is really a pain especially with that big delay between operations. 


Adding a small bug to this.  If you are doing turrets and you save the last barrel you did gets set back to detail0 unless you select another turret before the save.

Bug #2 if you hit the close button while the model is loading you get an unhanded exception. 

[Rga_Noris]

Sorry for the bump, but I was wondering about the feasability of fixing the bugs in the post immediatly above, and if work has been started on them.

[Spicious]

They sound plausible, but you'll have to find someone with time and motivation. Or send me an air-conditioner.

[Nyctaeus]

It needs a tool to change texture slots for importing objects. When I import turrets from other model, it don't fit with new model and looks awful.

... How much is a good AC running these days?

[Zacam]

depends on where Spicious is located. I can get a decent 2500BTU unit for less than $60.

[FUBAR-BDHR]

Not sure if I requested this one yet or no but not reading 7 pages to find out: 

Ability to view -destroyed subobjects in PCS2. Maybe a checkbox that renders them instead of the live subsystems.

... How much is a good AC running these days?

It's too late now; the heat wave ended and I've implemented turret importing by subobject name. Now I just need to reinstall Visual Studio so I can build it for Windows.

If you want typed text in a dropdown box to stick, try pressing the down arrow so it'll find an option that matches.

[Rga_Noris]

You are so awesome.

[Spicious]

Build updated.

[Dragon]

Would that be possible to include radius editor in PCS2?
Currently, it's autocalculated each time on save, which messes up models which have radius modified by hand (mostly appearant with Steve-O's fighters that have sliding parts).

[Zacam]

Or some way to modify the Radius so that it doesn't have to be hex-hacked afterwords.

[Spicious]

I'm fairly sure this was an intentional design decision.
