Title: Subobjects in TS1
Post by: Grey Wolf on April 23, 2001, 04:40:00 pm

I'm trying to make the GTSC Hephaestus's turrets (you can see a crappy picture of the original version in the HL forum) and I used glue as child to make the four turrets subobjects. But then COB2POF merged them into one subobject (or I just screwed up)! Can anyone help me?

Did you give them different names (turret01- turret04)?

Glue a light to the turret first?

I tried but I'm not sure how to glue a light! Any tutorials?

You just make a new light, that can't be too hard even though I can't remember how TS1 worked anymore...

Make a new light. The find "Glue as sibling" from somewhere, then click the turret.

Then name the combo Turret01 and so on.

Yeah, well... When I call a turret turret01, TS1 renames it turret,1 (?!?). I haaaaaate TS1 I can do everything, it always put a "," instead of the 0... And it renames my map thruster01.avi in thrust~1.avi  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif)  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif)  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif)
I'm fed up with this crappy prog... Who the hell decided to use cob files to convert ships into  POF?  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif)  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif)  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif)

Thanks Jabu for the help. And Venom, you can just rename the subobj in FSMM2 or Kazans POFCS.

TrueSpace 1 can't use windows-lenght names? Damn that thing is primitive  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

I can't really help. I know near to nothing about TS1, even if I did use it before a few times.

TS1 is a Win 3.11 program. But I think FSMM can also edit texture names.

FSMM2 can't, but POFCS can.
