Title: Null moment of inertia!
Post by: MastaRyan on February 12, 2010, 03:37:38 pm

There's a ship in freespace 2 that i downloaded that has no moment of inertia. Freespace gives me errors about this, so i tried to fix it. But, whenever i change the moment of inertia all the glowpoints are deleted. Please help!

Where did you try to change it? What did you try to change? It's kinda important to tell us what exactly you tried to do, and what tools you used to do it.

Also, a link to the model can't hurt, as there may be a fixed version somewhere.

Seriously, when you have a problem, asking is fine. But expecting us to be clairvoyant about these things is asking a bit much.

Ok, i edited this ship with modelview, and i gave it a moment of inertia, which it didn't have. A link to the model can be found here. http://www.freespacemods.net/download.php?view.384 (http://www.freespacemods.net/download.php?view.384)

There's your problem. Modelview is older than the code which put glowpoints into the pof data. So it ignores them, and then when you save a modelview pof, it saves without them. Just do your editing entirely within PCS2 and you'll be fine.

Yeah, use PCS2 to edit models for FS2.
