Has anyone put a docking point on the Demon desstroyer? cos am making a mission where a argo transport is supposed to dock with one but the model dosen't have one on it? which makes this mission a wee bit tricky to make.

One option would be to make it an Elysium instead of an Argo, and have it enter the fighterbay for a departure point.  It may not be what you hoped for, but it could get the job done.

I can rig a dock point for you if you really need it, but don't expect it overnight

Is there anywhere in particular on the model you'd like it placed?

a quick PCS edit wouldn't take that long would it ?

EDIT: Actually, even with Bob's tutorial it's a bloody nightmare

Cool.  Not to put any further strain on your goodwill, but how hard would it be for you to add a dockpoing to say, the upper neck segment of the Ravana?  It could be useful to me in a campaign I may get around to some time, if/after I finish my other one.

I've been trying to add a dock point to a Ravana myself. I've done the point, but how do I properly edit the path ? Is there a way to see it in modelview or somethin' ?

Not in modelview, but the new version of PCS isn't bad.  I also have found FRED to be very useful for path editing.

It's not much of an excuse for a website, but my stuff can be found here

I was thinking FRED myself, but it felt a little "clumsey".

No, that's the one.  It shows paths in the render window.

I tried the render window. It just shows the model, but I'm always gettin' PCS NVOPENGL.DLL errors so it may be that.

Looking at V models and what DG did with the Demon, I was able to botch a path together okay though. Cheers.

As far as I can tell, PCS' render window displays paths in black. Against a black background. Which is, you know, nice

It displays paths in blue for me.  You may need to up your brightness settings DG.
