you guys are going to love me.. i added a couple pointless graphics to the interface to take up unused space.. a couple of them look pretty damned nice

I have a nice buf to report: it doesn't save the docking points.
edit lus when I open an existing fs2 model (to check, coz maybe I messed up somewhere, I thought), the coordinates for the paths are completly wrong.

or they're completely right and you just don't understand the coordinate system

I know I'm stupid, but not to that point.
I compared with the ones show in FSMM2.
plus both paths shares EXACTLY the same coordinates in PCS. But maybe I don't know how to read, right?

Z axis + = front of ship
Z axis - = back of ship

X+ = right of ship
X- = left of ship

Y+ = top of ship
Y- = bottom of ship

radius = general 'area' to be in to have reached that point [i think.. never was fully explained]

I know that, thanx. So it means you should have a closer look at how PCS handles the paths  
oh, also, I noticed a pb with the engine glows. I resized them all on my model, but for some reason one of them was still bigger than the others. Saving again (without modifying anything) fixed it tho. Not really a big pb, but annoying anyway.

Thats essentially FRED2s coordinate system isnt it? regarding rotation of models and so on... if you get stuck you could practice in that

it's the model coordinate system.. period

which are wrong in PCS. Period(as you say).

[Kazan]

umm, if the model coordinate system in PCS was wrong, it would be wrong in my engine code, if it was wrong in the engine code the model WOULDN'T WORK

[Bobboau]

save the model from fsmm2 then open it in PCS, FSMM2 screwed up some models.

Sorry that this bug report came so late.

I once tried to add guns to a GTF Apollo fighter in FreeSpace 1 and when the Apollo was hit by laser fire, it seemed to be pushed back a great deal. I checked the ships.tbl file and the Apollo didn't seem to have its mass changed at all.

What could be wrong?

POF CS shoundn't open FreeSpace 1 POFs - it'll return "POF Version Mismatch, are you sure this is a freespace 2 pof?"

[NeoHunter]

Hmm....I'm not entirely sure. I'll have to wait till I get home and test it again.

By the way, great work combining POF editing tools with MODELVIEW. I also like the WYSIWYG interface. Easier for people like me to understand. Now I can make fighters with 10 guns and all.

umm... that's Heiko's Cup of Tea - i don't program modelview
