Title: pof editing
Post by: Raven2001 on November 17, 2002, 10:29:20 am: Heya people!!! Listen, once again I need your help...

I need someone who can convert some models for FS2 and make .pof editing... Come on, I really need your support. The campaign Demo is almost finished, but it won't be if I don't get a .pof editor soon...

Thanks in advance :)

Post by: Knight Templar on November 17, 2002, 11:52:32 am: I'm guessing either Reprocity or OTT.

Post by: Raptor on November 17, 2002, 02:27:52 pm: Just what are you asking for, Raven2001?:confused:
What is it that you need?

For the record, i came:
>texture an EXISTING model
>edit gunpoints, missile points, subsystems, thursterpoins
>(at a pinch) edit shield vertexes, maybe docking, but don't hold me to that.......
>tbl stuff (weapon loadout mainly)

There is a chance that I MAY be capable of converting a cob to a pof, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Post by: Unknown Target on November 17, 2002, 03:08:51 pm: Use LithUnwrap for converting. Open the file, save it as a cob, and then save it as a .pof using cob2pof.
Lithunwrap can even open .pof files directly!

eh? were is he coming from? I though this thread was editing stuff on a .pof file AFTER it has been converted to work in FS2?

Or am I misreading something here?:doubt:

No offence, UT

As far as I could gather it was both converting to .pof AND adding the extra stuff but it is rather vague :)

Post by: EdrickV on November 18, 2002, 11:07:45 pm: LithUnwrap doesn't do cob hierarchy right. It also doesn't let you adjust the axis of submodels AFAIK. To convert a model file to a POF you really need some version of TrueSpace, (Win9x designed versions are best) PCS or Cob2FS2, and you need to do the hierarchy in TS before converting the cob to a pof.

Post by: Raven2001 on November 20, 2002, 03:28:36 pm: Sorry for the misunderstanding of the post... I wrothe it in a rush...

Anyways, it is for my campaign Caught in the Middle, and I need:
- Pof editer (that can convert me a .cob file to .pof and then make all the .pof editing stuff...)

Anyone can help??

As I said, I really need that kind of staffer, or the Demo, and of course the campaign too, will never be released :(

Post by: Raptor on November 21, 2002, 03:00:58 am: Well then, If you like, I can have go at doing all that POF. editing stuff you want.

Just send the unedited pof file, with a list of what you want done, to my email address in my profile.

I COULD attempt to convert those Cob's to Pof's, but make sure you have a backup person, Raven2001, because I can't promise that I can........

Post by: TrashMan on November 28, 2002, 09:12:05 am: Say, Raptor, I have a few models that i tested in FS2 and they work... On a few on them the textures suck, and I was thinking if you could help me with that!

b.t.w. - I can do the whole .pof editing, converting, modeling, and some other stuff.
Title: pof editing
Post by: Raptor on November 29, 2002, 11:17:59 am: Sure Trashman! ;7

Just send them to [email protected]

Just tell me what you want done and I'll hit them! Textures, gun points, turret fire points, subsystems, engine glows and even :eek: shield vertexes!!!!

EDIT: MUST PROOF READ BEFORE POSTING!

I can do those too........as long as I have the original cob........and mine are usually spherical, like Star Wars/Star Trek shield systems.

Post by: TrashMan on December 03, 2002, 09:37:09 am: I thought I sent you the Phoenix. If not, simply download it from my page. Link is in the "Sorry...." thread.

Shields (aside from hull conforming shields like the FS1Port's Lucifer) aren't hard to do. I've added them to POFs without using cobs at all. :) Shields are the one thing Segeltuch is actually useful for. (As long as you work on a disposable copy of the model and use ModelView32 to import the shield data to the good copy.)

Post by: Raptor on December 04, 2002, 02:49:06 am: Yes, I did get it, and then sent it back via reply-to-sender.

I still have the pof and maps, so I could send it to you again

I am likely to have another go at texturing the model. I recently downloaded lilithunwrap, so I may be able to remap it:nod:

HERETIC!!!!!!!!!!!:mad2: :wtf: :eek2: :lol:

Seriously, I used to use Segeltuch for that, but once I learned how to do virtually everything in TS, I dumped Segeltuch.

BTW, I'm getting both Lightwave and 3DS Max soon. :)

Post by: EdrickV on December 04, 2002, 03:57:44 pm: I only used it to add shields to already POFed ships, like the Robotech MOD's VF-1's and, as an experiment, an ARMD carrier. :)

Not just yet though. Bit busy at the moment (midday in a hectic university day, another 4 hours to go!)
Title: pof editing
Post by: Raptor on December 06, 2002, 04:59:03 pm: Okay, i have sent that email though my provider again, as the email system here does not APPEAR to able to support attachments.

Hopefully this one will get to you. If not:confused:
