Hmm I try to do this as You say:

-I install pcs2 collada patch
-set in deep explorer group

-When I try to open this file in PCS2 I have this:

I don't know what is wrong..

Did you do a reset x-form on detail0?

i need to get some of the extensive users to write a good HTML help/walkthrough site that i can distribute with it (and use wx to show it as the internal help)

screen shots, usage tips, etc etc

Oh, there you're applying the COB export format requirements to the DAE conversion, which are quite different. The hierarchy I outlined applies ONLY to COB conversions.

For DAE conversions, the names must be exact and are case sensitive. To get your model converting there you need only the detail0_geometry part. Remove the detail0 object group and the light, and then rename detail0_geometry to just detail0. Save as a DAE and try the conversion again.

Thank You very much Vesudan Admiral

I set hierarchy as You say and save file as non-ASCII and it works

. Tomorrow I will try again DAE conversion.

To get this kind of thing out of the Important PCS2 Threads post which is not meant for this kind of thing...

Put all your user to user support in here.

ok im going to create a thread for this kind of discussion.. this thread isn't really for that

~~Might consider getting an op to split the posts to this thread too.~~ Looks done now.

i sent a PM to Goober asking him to move those posts over

So I finally made the game work, but after installing the SCP with all the MVPs I get no visual results at all...
It's the same as before...

Bobboau · **Reply #49 on:** March 09, 2009, 10:18:17 pm

what does this have to do with PCS2?

(P.S. you need to enable it as a mod)

Zacam · **Reply #50 on:** March 10, 2009, 05:17:38 am

Will future versions allow editing of Max Radius, or am I missing something basic?

Bobboau · **Reply #51 on:** March 10, 2009, 06:44:09 am

that was locked off because it is a result of a number of other things and must be recalculated every time the pof is saved. specifically if you move a sub object, the max radius would need to be recalculated.

so to answer your question no, by design.
if you have a model that has the wrong radius, saving the model 'should' correct it.

Zacam · **Reply #52 on:** March 10, 2009, 06:55:54 am

Sadly, it does not. I know this, because I am trying to get models that currently do not match with the retail data to match the retail data.

Bobboau · **Reply #53 on:** March 10, 2009, 07:34:43 am

it should be getting calculated based on the object bounding box, is that screwed up also?

if it is off slightly it shouldn't be a big deal (we might have a more accurate calculation than V did), what exactly is your problem?

Zacam · **Reply #54 on:** March 12, 2009, 02:02:56 am

A re-smoothing of the existing MediaVP Myrmidon done by blowfish.

All of the data in the pof matches the Retail values. Except Max Radius.

Retail: 10.168615, Current: 17.613806.

Bounding Boxes match, Center of Mass, Mass, MOI, H, W, D.

If I open and then save the retail model, I get the newer number.

chief1983 · **Reply #55 on:** March 12, 2009, 10:48:55 am

What about resaving a retail model? Same thing?

Bobboau · **Reply #56 on:** March 12, 2009, 04:42:27 pm

well it looks like it is calculating it the way it is intended to, but maybe our algorithm needs to be revised.

If I open and then save the retail model, I get the newer number.

And it is entirely possible that

in having a more simple geometry got the retail numbers because of it.

And/or a possibility exists (but I could be wrong here) that the SLDC part is contributing to the expansion of the Max Radius.

So _far_ it has not posed any significant changes that I can observe in retail missions. And I am perfectly happy for there being a logically rational explanation. So long as it's not just a bug.

Is there any way to change axis rotation in PCS2? (not rotate around an axis)

jacek · **Reply #59 on:** April 29, 2009, 04:57:20 am

Hi!! I've got another problem... I have ship in pof format and I would like to add shield mesh in .cob format.. I make hieratchy like this:

+ shield

-light

In PCS2 I push load button in shield section and select my .cob file but shield doesn't apper... what is wrong?

Thanks for help
