Title: modding question
Post by: Darkstar on June 04, 2001, 09:53:00 am

When trying to convert a pof to cob the program asks me which lod I want to convert. These are the level of detail bits of the moddel right. Ok on which lod do you have to aply turrets, all the lods or just one or two.

you HAVE to add it to the first, but you CAN add lower poly vertions on the other LODs by turret01a, turret01b, turret01c...

but you have to make a bunch of alterations to the model to make it useable.

Is there any reason you HAVE to have turrets on the lower LODS? I didn't think the V models had turrets attached to anything except the the LOD0.

At least, there's one good reason NOT to put turrets on lower LODs: they're used to increase frame rate, and turrets are here, after all, to make things more beautifull. LoDs are here to get rid of these kinds of details, so reap the turrets  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif).
