UTF Editor released

Sat Mar 29, 2003 6:02 pm by PEzao

Exactly, Im trying to mod the anubis in order to get a few extra hardpoints on it, however since im a noob on this (well, i can mod my ships, its weapons and its engine settings)

Im running into some problems here... How do i work out the position of the hardpoint i wanna add? How do i work out the other values?

And how/where do i create/put the info about the new hardpoint?

For fix (gun) hardpoints would it be under FIXED? and for turrets/360degree weapons, under REVOLVE?

Anyway... i've opened the anubis cmp on the editor and when looking under FIXED hardpoints i dont find a single 'HpWeapon'... but when under REVOLVE i think there's two (HpWeapon06 and HpWeapon08)

Help?

See my tutorial on adding new hardpoints.

On the UTF specs, they're quite similar to what I had started, except to a few little things that may or may not be interesting:

I surmised that the field you call "flags" is in fact the windows file attributes for the file. 0x10 is FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY and 0x04 is FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL - it fits exactly with the known flag values. See WINNT.h.

Secondly, the time stamps are DOS file times for accessed, modified and created (I can't be sure of the order, but I'm guessing a, m, c due to that's the order used in the _stat structure Microsoft uses...and if there's one thing Freelancer seems to do is to follow Microsoft's lead).

Lastly, I guessed the 44 in the header referred to the size of the individual tree entries (which I called TOC (table of contents)) - there is of course no way to tell what it refers to, but I do like your explanation better.

Finally, I may discontinue working on my editor, since yours seems pretty complete.

I am getting some strange behavior as I try to build a new mat file :
When I enter a string value like "mat_yt1300_01.TGA" I obtain "mat_yt1300_01.TGAp".
It is the same for the material type : "DcDt", I only manage to enter it by copy and paste its int value.

HCl, is it a normal behavior or maybe I do something wrong ?

Sat Apr 05, 2003 4:34 pm by HCl

Hmm no it's definitely not normal behavior.. Can't think of a cause for that either. Which version of the UTF editor are you using? (the one with MFC included or the one without)? Also, please send me the MAT you're working on, so i can take a look.

Sat Apr 05, 2003 5:05 pm by TheCoredump

I am using the version with MFC included (unable to find downloadable MFC) and the .mat file is already on the way.
Thanks for your help

Sat Apr 05, 2003 6:42 pm by TFK-Killermatrix
