Sorry if this is a stupid question that is asked frequently. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)
Is there any way to set the position (and size) of where ingame squadron logos appear on custom-made models? I have a slightly modified PVB Amun model which I would like to add some squadlogo positions to, but I have no idea how to do this. (not too experienced with POFs and modeling in general) Anyone know something about this? (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

it seems as if you could put the numbers in PCS but you would have to make a model (fromt he original and convert it to get the cords wich you could put into the .POF.
I think it would work... never tried it like that, all mine are made with the fighter...
-
Yeah I was thinking of just doing that (the campaign which I am using the model in only has the player flying the ship for one squadron), but I wanted to first make sure that there was not any way to do it like in the original fighter/bomber models.

It was posted on the VBB awhile back.
You had to make a plane and label it to something...
I can't find the thread anymore, sorry.
I think Kazan was the one who figured it out.

There is a tab in PCS that is labeled "Insignia" with some data that looks like it might be for texture placement; maybe this has something to do with it?

Alright, her's my best stab at it.
Open the model in your program. Create a single-sided plane the size of the squad logo.
Place it where you want it to appear.
Now, go back to pcs and under insignia put in the specs for the new plane(s) for the squad logos.
Now load it back up and try.
This is the best I can do from memory, I think VBB did a house cleaning recently because after searching for the last hour and a half I couldn't find the original answer to this.

First, you could use the POF to COB option in pcs to get the cob file to play with, and then you could go to this link:

and get the details for auto-insigna!

Thanks for the information and links, guys; this will probably help. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif) That topic has lots of other useful stuff on it as well. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
