First post and directly violating the rules
But I cannot register at the Mantis Website (it doesn't send me any emails), so I post it here:

I created a patch for this proposal.
This patch adds a "-weapon_choice_3d" command line flag.

First post and directly violating the rules

 

It violates the rules to report bugs on here when you could report them on Mantis. Fixing bugs is another matter entirely. As for the patch, well blowfish said he wanted to take a look at it but I guess if you snooze you lose. I'll take a look at the code now.

EDIT : Took a quick glance and it looked fine to me. It's in this build so people can test.

[blowfish]

Yeah ... looks good.  I actually wanted to add an option to use the tech model if it is found but otherwise use the ANI, but that can wait.  Good job with this, DerKuchen.  And

Personally, I'd rather it use the ANI first, then the tech model. At least until that bug with the rotation-zoom-centering is fixed.

Erm... wait. Does this deactivate weapon model use when ONLY the ship_select_3D is turned on? That's the big problem, I wanted realtime ships and pre-rendered weapons.

Actually, that could be fixed quite easily by just disabling the weird rotation zoom center if the tech model is found.  There is probably a better, but more complicated solution, however ... Well, I'll look into this.

EDIT: It seems that for missiles it sort of hack-calculates the center of the model.  Would it be acceptable to just autocenter the model, or would this cause problems?  Actually, it might be better to set a flag from when rendering the model in the loadout screen.  I need feedback on this

Why don't you guys use http://scp.indiegames.us.pastebin.com and work out all of these things cooperatively?    Swap ideas back and forth; it might make it easier, IDK.

It incorrectly hack-calculated the center of the model, which is why the new ones spun on their noses.  Fixed.

Why was it done that way in the first place

I think that I copied it from the autocenter hack in the weapon choice screen and then forgot to go back and fix it to be right.
