Author	Topic: GunBlast.sm?
Razer Pilot	posted 03-19- 04:59 AM I was messing around with this tonight before I went to bed and was wonder whats up with the file? OL tools extracts it but it wont build it back. I can import new LODs with OPS but it doesn't seem to change in game. I was making the blasts larger and would go back to AC3D to resize but it never showd up in-game any larger then normal which is wierd since I thought I remember someone making the larger. (Aladar maybe?) I finally stopped resizing the polys and imported a plane so see how bug they where (looked normal in game) but was 2 times larger then the P-40 in AC3D. Wierd huh? If the size of the GunBlast is hardcoded then why even have an SM file.. Ideas? ------------------ Tony "Razer" Martin FS Hangar IP: Logged
Elric Pilot	posted 03-19- 03:17 PM I seem to remember that the gun flashes are scaled to reflect the size of the projectile... or maybe I'm thinking of bombs... Elric IP: Logged
Nat Pilot	posted 03-19- 04:35 PM Razer, I've done alot of work on this a couple of weeks back, and also on the crater.SM Although they are in SM form they seem to be hard coded, I made the gun flash massive by increasin the size og the LOD, but it made no difference in game, same with the Crater, I made it 3D, added mounded sides so that it looks like a crater, but in the game it still comes out flat. The wierd one with the guns though is that the flash for Cannon is bigger than that for MG's, but I just can't see how it's controled, it can't be relative to the gun itself otherwise my 18" guns on the ships would look right instead of being tiny. So, somewhere these things are hard coded and I don't think there's alot we can do about it, I wish they weren't though IP: Logged
Razer Pilot	posted 03-19- 04:43 PM I just talked to MH and he says it's HC and theres nothing we can do on the graphics part. Maybe Bryan can make the gun blast to the SM file so it's not HC and we can edit this. IP: Logged
