Aft Starboard cable on the Sargo boat is in the wrong location

[Hylander_1314]

Not sure if this has been mentioned in the past, but if one looks closely at the Sargo boat while on the bridge, or from external camera views, the aft starboard cable that runs from the aft mast to the conning tower is not attached properly.

it runs from the center of the mast, to the center of the tower, as opposed to the proper attachment points to the starboard side of each location.

Not along enough in the 3D model program to try to fix it, as it is just different enough from GMax to make it a stumbling learning curve.

If this has been brought up in the past, my apologies.

things in the game are positioned based on a x, y, z axis grid so you chamnge one for up and down one for left or right, and the other is ... well i cant remember, but change those settings to reposition it to where it should be

Okay, where would that be? I can see it in the .dat file, on all the conning tower variants, as long as i zoom way in close and get the angle just right.

Thanks in advance Webster!

I don't think you can do this with s3d only; you want to move just one cable, it would be possible (in s3d) if it was a separate object, but it isnt, as far as I know. You would need to export it, edit in some 3d software, and put back into dat file.

Edit: it node - NSS_SalmonSargoTower01_Antenas; you can move the whole thing (in node positioning, x,y,z - like Webster said), but - looks like - not a single cable.

Thanks Stanger, yes, I saw that myself, and that is why I think the whole thing needs to be exported, tweaked, and added back in. Working with Wings3D, I am, ........................ shall we say, still rather lacking in skills to use it, and would probably take me a year to figure it out.

When I clicked on the Antennae Node, I noticed they are tied to the center of the main tower node. as they don't have individual nodes for each one.

Also, when I try to export anything from any .dat files, I get an error message, even if it is a .obj file, which Wings uses. It tells me that it's either, "Not a Wings format, or is an old Wings format".

That's the frustrating part. I have no clue how to get passed this speedbump in the road.

if it is seperate you click on that one cable, if its not the only thing highlighted then as you guessed the "unit" of things its contained in must be tweaked.

if its only the sargo that is wrong then maybe you can import another subs info that is done correctly over to the sargo to replace it

Being his first post, I would venture to say, that he thinks it's cool.
