Mesh Resizing Tool Help

January 19, 2015 1:37:59 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

I have downloaded the resizing tool and even followed the additional directions for the downloading and activating the .OCX file, but cannot get it to work.

Does anyone have any advice for this?

I need to either make a mesh bigger or smaller; I am adding a dreadnought class (between titan and capitals).

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

TIA!

What operating system on your PC?

I have Win 7 Premium 64 bit.

 

I downloaded and registered 2 .OCX files (comdlg32 & MSCOMCTL) and still no go.

I guess I need to go looking for an old XP computer to resize meshes?

Did you right click on the resize application and use "Run as administrator" ?

Nope.

Also, I saved the one OCX file to the wrong system folder.

The resizer now opens. I'm going to try to use it later today.

Thanks for your help!

Alright! Everything is working well.

One question: If I make a capital ship 1.5 times bigger, do I need to resize the shield mesh at 1.5 as well?

Thanks!

Probably a good idea. Otherwise while it has shields weapon hit effects might spawn "inside" the mesh, because the shield mesh is now smaller than the main mesh.
