Is this the first non-brandx-made ship ingame?

[chief1983]

No, we've had Jacek's Action VI for a while.  It was one of the first.

Even though I'm not a fan of the ship design itself, it's really great to have this, good job. The biggest thing we're currently missing are capships, after all.

When we have this, the Nebulon-B and the ISD all in-game, it's gonna be extremely neat.

And the corvette and gunship

... rigging...

Wut? Unless you mean some other kind of rigging. I mean, the ship isn't going to have bones and walkcycles and stuff.

[Colonol Dekker]

He may just mean setting up subsytems etc. Although tbf i thought Eh? bodypopping Cruiser? Nah.......

[chief1983]

Yeah that's not the first time someone used the term 'rigging' in that context around here either.  Might have been him before though, I forget.  Either way, yeah just subsystems and other PCS2 finishing touches.

It was probably me.

So I've run into a few problems, again. I model and rig my turrets in a seperate file, then I transfer them over to my main model. No error messages or anything. I look at the ship, and the only LOD I can see is the one with the biggest number: detail-2. The other LODs are there, only the wrong one is being used. Then I look at what should be detail-0, and to my horror I discover the turrets are all out of whack. All of them are pointing straight up, and the firing points are pointing in seemingly random directions. Not only that, some of the turrets are blown way out of proportion. The thrusters also zoom to the centre of whatever subobject they're attached to, and shrink to dots. Any ideas?

fig. 1:  detail-0?
fig. 2:  messed up turrets
fig. 3:  firing points
fig. 4:  spot the thrusters

Figure 2 is AWESOME.

[Snail]

No, it's completely ****ed up.

[Mongoose]

No, it's completely ****ed up.

Yes, but it's still awesome.

[redsniper]

Carrack cruiser, Gurren Lagann version.

[Snail]

I think I have the right to say the proportions are completely off when compared to the source material here.

[chief1983]

Actually Snail, I can't believe it took someone that long to make that comment.  But I still hate you for it.

[Mongoose]

I just hope that someone comes along who actually knows how to help bob fix it, before we all make any more idiotic posts.

I thought I'd seize the opportunity.

You are redoing the header in PCS2 afterward right?  It really doesn't know to use detail-0 as the first LOD unless told it is the first LOD.  As for the size thing what are you importing from?  You either need to adjust the cob scaling factor or resize it in the modeling program.

I don't know anything about any header. I haven't been messing around much with PCS2 since it crashes when you select any subobject. As for the scaling, everything seems all right in 3ds max, and it's the right size and everything.

It seems to me anything that is a helper, or has a helper attached to it, doesn't work.

[FUBAR-BDHR]

Try setting all the subobject centers to 0,0,0 in max before you export then move them back in PCS2.
