Got a question..

Hiya, just a brief question.. I`ve made up some new scenery, its a supply depot type thing about the size of the police base archetype.
I`ve hardly added any hardpoints for now, just the HpMount in the middle. The problem is that whenever the HpMount isn`t on the screen it dosen`t render anything of the object at all. So, not even the outside edge that should still be visable. Other than that its all peachy.
Any of you know how to fix this? I recall that with the Vesuvius its the same too so you just see the lights and not the edge of the ship. Is it a LOD thing where I haven`t bothered making mip`s?

hey M-A-C-E,
sounds like wrong or missing radius to me ..
try running it through anton's modeltool, or hand-edit with utf editor.

Oh, cheers Rimshot. I think i`ve got it fixed now. I just opened the cmp in the model tool thing and it showed the updated radius.
To anyone who`s looking at the FlModeltool and thinks it seems too complicated, it really is an amazing and very simple to use program. I`d recommend it to anybody interested in ship editing and this sort of stuff.

The new CMP exporter for milkshape? I hadn`t yet, i don`t use M`shape very much anyway and the one that i do use works ok. If I hear more about it i msost likely will get it.
