How to rotate a starsphere?

Hi,

I made a custom starsphere (renamed one and replaced some of its TGAs, nothing special) and I think it would fit my needs even better when I'd have the whole thing rotated, say, 30 degrees anticlockwise.

I think the solution to this lies in the Clouds\VMeshPart\VMeshRef but the numbers are too compex to do it by trial-and-error. Also, there are no obvious clues (like a node called "orientation" or so).

Does anyone have any experience with this?

EDIT: how stupid of me, I overlooked the entire Cmpnd branch... This seems to be holding the data that arranges the entire starsphere. I guess the Cpns\Fix node is where all the objects (or rather phenomenon) get their place on the firmament... It's a long list of numbers which I have no idea to read or decipher, so here it ends...

I tried to use the CRC Calc Tool to see if a CRC equivalent of the composing parts could be identified, but I didn't found anything. Too bad, it seems like we just have to wait until MS/DA release some sort of editor (yeah right).
