* MetalDestroyer think you have to finish the PCS 2.0 if you want a Star Wars mods  :ick:
I can't progress any further until I have those Overflow polycount with and without rescaling the model size. I got also several crash for some models like Death Star  :shaking: and the Home One.

Same for the WCS-Mod :) I need it mostly for glowpoint import and maybe a better render window so I can finally dump modelview. But besides that, the old PCS was nice too and did it job (except for the stack overflow error, I really hate that  :mad: ) . Actually, it is one of the most needed things around here (escpecially since not all people have max and can mess around with the pof-exporter :) )

Seconded.  "Stack Overflow Error" makes me go:  :eek: :confused: :blah:

Even a hint of WHY it engaged would help.

Please finish PCS2... (Cute cat look)

:wtf: You know editting pofs is considerably more complex than viewing models... Thus there's a certain degree of complexity that must be present. I didn't think the last one was that difficult to use in all honesty once he'd gotten the preview window displaying everything.

Like StratComm said; Modelview32 is the tool of choice for what it does. (For me) That's because that it's got a big central viewer window that's used for everything, including hardpoint placement, which is a godsend, because I can see exactly where it's going. With PCS and inserting, say, engine glows, I open up modelview, move the gunport to where I want the engine to be, and copy the coordinates. I don't even know if PCS has the visual hardpoint placement function, because the viewer window is such a system hog when I open it up. No offense to Kazan, he did a great job, but the interface could definately be improved.

I said that with reservation; Modelview destroys the GLOW chunk so if a model has glowpoints you cannot use it safely.  However, I am all too familiar with the "get coordinates from modelview, edit data in PCS" approach.

That's currently the best way of doing things. I also like modelview very much for it's GUI and it's good visual. To bad it didn't support all pof-chunk and has a memory hole bigger than the one in our ozon-sphere (grammar ?) :)

Not to mention the fact that converting LWO's to POF's would make it about 10x faster for making my TI models ;)

I would be very pleased if this happened before I went blind, or rather to such an extent I can no longer read the screen... I have to stop driving my car today. (low blow I know) ;)
