This isn't working for me, I assume it has to do with the new forum. Any chance of a new link?

We are using version 198146 with 2022. The one available in ftp is probably buggy, since Evgeny told me that the compiler stopped months ago and he is focused in another task. The 198146 is also one

The errors was starting Max not the model viewer.. FYI

 

I can get my carriers in no probs.

Ah my mistake. I read too quickly sometimes. It should be the same solution.

I dont know if there has been a good example using the Mods folder... I know there is a tutorial using the old method...

 

As for adding new static objects, I am going off memory here. All new stuff should be using the MODS folder instead of modifying the core files. You would need a few .lua file to declare all attributes of the object. (type, country, name, burntime, edm location, texture location, etc). The sim will pull data from that file to make it all work. There might be an example floating around, if not let me know and I will find some time to draft a tutorial up.

Question for the masses... Connector Names, such as:

 

GT.WS[ws].center = 'Turret1'

 

or

 

__LN.BR = { {connector_name = 'GUN_POINT_1'},
           {connector_name = 'GUN_POINT_2'}
};

 

Are those pulled from the 3D model? If so are they just the labels from parts of the model, or is there some way to specially "tag" them?

They are either pulled from the 3d model or the helper itself. As in the actual name of the helper or the 3d piece you have selected.

 

I am not sure if the first example you have is looking for a helper or mesh. The naming of it makes me think its the mesh.

 

The second example is what the helper point should be named. For this specific example of {connector_name = 'GUN_POINT_1'}, it is a helper point that should be placed directly in front of the gun mesh on the aircraft. It tells the game to do something specific in that area. (gun smoke, gun sound, where tracers come from, etc)

As far as the first example, if the shape is listed as "whatever.edm" and center is pointed at Turret 1, does that mean a part in whatever.edm is called Turret 1? Certainly its not a separate model, correct... sorry if that was a dumb question... it sounded dumb as I was typing it :)

 

For helper points, thats something that can be created in Max then? No need to go into details if you dont have time, I can research them if that is the case :)

 

Thanks for the help so far!

See the screenshots. Do they make sense? X axis should be outward. Size should be 1.0

"You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to luckybob9 again."

Heehee. Send me beer.

 

For your example about Turret 1 and whatever.edm: The will be a mesh piece named "Turret 1" inside "whatever.edm" see screenshot 3

LOL.... so when will you release that tank? Do you want my voice acting skills to make the "pew pew" sounds for the gun? :D

Download C++ 2010 redistributable package. It is not included in a fresh Windows 7 install.

 

From the Model Viewer FAQ:

8 ) Help! I get an error MSVCR100.dll being missing.

A) Install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64) package: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en....aspx?id=14632

 

Well, my system appears to have a newer version installed, and is still missing the file. Perhaps 2012?

 

Edit In: Yes, installing Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable Package (x64) package made it work : http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679

Is there something wrong with the servers? I've been trying to download the modelviewer for a few days, but all 3 ftp servers / mirrors appear to be inoperative.

 

Never mind, I guess I should refresh the thread before posting. :-)
