Title: Glowpoint chunk hack
Post by: IPAndrews on February 05, 2007, 10:44:48 am

Hi,

Is anyone here able to take the glowpoint chunk/hunk/section/whatever out of .pof A and copy it into .pof B without destroying .pof B? We have a certain big space station model with 150+ glowpoints and we need a new version with a different turret configuration. Obviously I'm trying to avoid having to copy and paste the various details for 150 glowpoints because of the time and likely margin for error.

iirc kaz not too long ago relased a pcs upgrade that can transfer glows.

*edit*

yep i was right you want 1.3.6 build 73. mind you global data import will still crash yea so just use the import button on the glow tab.

Thanks for the tip Nuke. Unfortunately the glow import is bugged. I should have mentioned that.

I've found using a macro recorder (one that records both key and mouse clicks) very useful  :D

do we have any up to date pof specs? i want to maybe indulge the possibility of creating a chunk editor/pof converter in lua. i think i understand enough about file structure, graphics, and i/o to maybe get something working. it would also have the added bonus of being multiplatform, and could run right in the engine if need be.
