i know that feeling, after a hard days work id rather crash on the couch with a bag of chips in onehand and the remote in the other. maybe spend an hour or two modding on the weekends. maybe i can convince the government that im insane and have them give me free money to live on so i can mod full time. that would be cool.

But Kazan, this is FUN CODING! 

[Flipside]

That's always the downside of making a job out of a hobby though It can sometimes ruin both. I found that with music, I love making tunes, but the when I did it for a living it became a chore instead of a pleasure.

Here's my motivation:

Finish the damn thing or no mods for you. (or US, for that matter :nervous )

[Getter Robo G]

Sigh... (Amatuers)

Cobra: You DO realise he can/will create his own universe. (so basicly you just made an empty threat)...


KAZAN: Save your strength , but remember: Work = Bad coding.  Modding - GOOD/FUN coding

True.

Just count yourself lucky you HAVE a job Kazan...

[Nuke]

i could probibly score a texture artist job at any game company if i wanted to, but that would just spoil the fun of it.

[I_E_Maverick]

so, some weeks have passed again, i ask again, and again, and again, any progress?

[Nuke]

i demand chips!

Sod PCS2. Just fix the glowpoint import on PCS1. Alternatively train me a monkey to copy and paste B5's 150 glowpoints to a new pof. 

(actually I'm not hopping mad, it's just a great smiley).

[Scooby_Doo]

I'll agree with the glowpoint importing... 150 ouch talk about work.... oh and autogen glowpoints would definetely be a time saver, instead of using EngGlow points..


Oh and ya, the faster I can get a model from MAX into a working POF the more models I can release

I'm not a trained monkey, but I can do that in one simple step (and about 5 seconds).  You just need a hex editor.  Heck, Notepad might even do it if you knew what to look for.

[Darkhill]

Don't know if it was said or not before, but support for large poly objects.  Like things above 4-5k polys.  Seems importing a cob with over 4k faces makes it crash every time.  Though doesn't seem to have a problem if the pof has that many faces.

[Starman01]

That shouldn't be happening, do you use the latest version ? I'm using 1.3.42 and I have no problems with high polygon objects

[Nuke]

yes, working glowpoint import is what keeps people from using glowpoints. fix that and everyone would be happy.

[Darkhill]

Yup, I had 1.3.4.  Got that version and had no problem loading my 11,000 poly beast.  Now only in Modelview would open it.

[StratComm]

Modelview has so much potential, it's a shame it's lost on memory leaks and its inability to preserve data chunks that it does not recognize  It's 3d interface is much better than any other real mod tool out there.

[Scooby_Doo]

Speaking of Modeview, does anyone remember HSWE for Homeworld? I really like the interface and easy of use. kinda like ModelView. You could setup and add turrets on the fly, make duplicate turrets, mirror them..etc without reconverting. Although I'm sure POF's way too incompatible with PEO files to make a conversion.

[Getter Robo G]

Hmmm, for MOST PEO files no prob. sometimes it has a problem with seperate objects not converting over completely. IE in the peo the mainbody is there, when turned into .cob the main body disappears and only the turrets appear in the space around it. turning into a .wo or .3ds works but then converting to .cob from that also fails. that's an issue that I don't understand (since I am not a modler I hope I explained it correctly). But teh potential is there, I've done many HW  conversions or my personal use.
