better hp viewer

Post by **Abigkidatheart** » Fri Nov 23, 2007 8:36 am

Is there one? A better way of looking at HardPoints? I have UTMV, but I don'e find it user friendly. Or it just plain doesn't like me... Why bother you ask? I am a perferctionist, I care if the phaser looks like it's coming from the bridge

For me, the easiest way to see hardpoints is to view models through storm3d. Give that a try if you haven't already.

I import things to Milkshape; I find it a lot easier to view hardpoints, poly counts, and stuff in MS3D rather than Storm3D. I like to be able to see the shape of the ship, which is part of the reason I like Milkshape for viewing.

how did you get around importing non-stock models?...

The non-stock importer was relaesed on the A2files forum a while back.

One member, Book IIRC, decided that the time had come to release the non-stock importer to the comunity. I beleive many of his reasons were sound but it was unfair to take this action without first openning the discution up to the community.

In any case there was a huge fight over on the A2f forums but the genie was already out of the bottle.

Ok... so at this point... I am back to square one... I am trying to find a viewer to see hard points on non stock ships hehehe And storm3d is really wonky for me. Who and where is this dude that created the none stock plug-in?

Storm 3D is about as simple as it gets for viewing HPs for A1 models.

The code for the nonstock A1/A2 Milkshape plugis has always been open source and included with with the Milkshape plug in download. Just fund a mate who knows C++ coding, removing the offending lines and recomplie the plugins and you should be good to go.

was actually hoping to find a torrent on it... hehehe but no such luck... and I am only view anyways, so no need to save. Or is it supposed to be possible to move the hard points as well? Cause I am noticing that some of the positions on some of the ships is just wacked. I was looking at the Enterprise Z, even contacted the creator. It's hard points are UNDER the ship, no where close to the hull.... um yeah...
