I am ashamed...

It's not that Omni is privy to special knowledge, though being a great modeller helps, it's the fact he gets off his arse and actually does stuff. I really need to get back into that habit

Now I'm glad I finished the FRED interface when I did.

Unfortunately, those letters aren't random.  They're named in the order that they're parsed from the POF file.  Which means "A, B, C" would correspond to what "1, 2, 3" would be.

[Omniscaper]

Is there possibilitie of reassigning the parsing to use numbers instead? Its a real tedious process to individually name the docks. The alphabet contains less than 288 characters . Fred does not save the docked ships assigned to docks with  lower case letters. I can dock them in Fred, but the save

...and it looks like the board ate your post.  Anyway: I could do that, but you're not supposed to rely on the temporary names even with the alphabet system.  There's no guarantee that the docking points will load in the same order if you edit the POF later, and since the names are generated only at load, it would massively screw things up.  Plus I'm not sure how FS would like it.

What you might be able to do is beg either Bobboau or Kazan to add a dock name generator to their respective POF generators.

Looking good!

any upgrade to the current pof tools will be greatly apreciated. there hasnt been a patch for pcs in ages. pcs2 isnt moving forward at all. if you just fixed the glowpoint import bug in pcs2, and made autogen code for all the chunks that dont already have it it would be great. pcs2, the way its described, would offer better data manipulation and a more streamlined interface. none the less we want some upgrades to the tools we currently have.

I'm more of a 3dsmax pluggin user moreso than PCS and I made the request to Styxx's pluggin thread. Such a auto-naming feature would also be great for PCS2 if only it could  include support for importing max or 3ds models . I really dont want to get back into Truespace again.

[Nuke]

i cant pull myself away from truespace. max is like an overwealming alien predator and im afraid of its learning curve. i try for awhile to do something and spend more time figuring out how that i could have jhust made it in truespace faster.

Uggh Truespace. The first convertors were coded to use Truespace because it was the one 3d program with a freeware version at the time. Of course PCS then later on didn't support the version of Truespace that was freeware, the very reason that .cobs were chosen... Needless to say, it's time to see convertors focus on apps like 3ds.

[Nuke]

converters should be compatable with as many formats as possible. having to port models through a bunch of formats always tends to cause problems. plus there are those who have gotten comfortalble with truespace modeling, it would be sorta wrong to abandon them by not continuing to enhance the mod tools. if only they could fix the glowpoint import bug and add some more autogen features, id be happy with the current pcs. i dont think its a good idea to support max only.

damn omni, your really making a sweet ship there.
