Resizing ships.

Please provide help on how to resize ships.

June 26, 2007 11:22:38 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums
I did a bit of searching and work before i posted this one, i seem to have found a code called "mass" upon further inspection i have found that capital ships have more mass than normal frigates. When i increased the mass for a capital ship, not much happened, i did not see any major changes and i doubled the number !

So let me ask, how would i modify a ships size ? i really do need help on this one !

There is no hook to adjust a model's scale as of beta 2 (that I've found). If you want to change the visible size of a ship, I think you'll have to wait for the modeling tools to be released.

You'd need to adjust the actual mesh to increase the size of the ships.

Sorry

This functionality will be available just not until we release the modding tools.

I see, thanks. You may now trash this thread as it serves no purpose.

yes, Yes, YES!!!!! I don't care if you are a guy or a girl but I love you so much right now!!


This gotta be the function that I find the most desirable right now, I had even considered to export the model and resize them manually (if such things was possible). But this comment made my day, I'll sleep well tonight.


Thanks!!!

The plan is to make them available either just before, or sometime after, the final release.

the mass term has to do with how the ship is affected by gravity, correct?

massive, massive massive. when the threads become useless they drift away. until then there are always things to look into. like the mass term you adjusted.
