Resizing ships.

Please provide help on how to resize ships.

from Sins Forums
I did a bit of searching and work before i posted this one, i seem to have found a code called "mass" upon further inspection i have found that capital ships have more mass than normal frigates. When i increased the mass for a capital ship, not much happened, i did not see any major changes and i doubled the number !

So let me ask, how would i modify a ships size ? i really do need help on this one !

There is no hook to adjust a model's scale as of beta 2 (that I've found). If you want to change the visible size of a ship, I think you'll have to wait for the modeling tools to be released.

You'd need to adjust the actual mesh to increase the size of the ships.

Sorry

This functionality will be available just not until we release the modding tools.

I see, thanks. You may now trash this thread as it serves no purpose.

It serves a purpose - it will answer this question for anyone else and we can revive it when the time comes Everyone wins!

yes, Yes, YES!!!!! I don't care if you are a guy or a girl but I love you so much right now!!


This gotta be the function that I find the most desirable right now, I had even considered to export the model and resize them manually (if such things was possible). But this comment made my day, I'll sleep well tonight.


Thanks!!!

Maybe they'll ship them out with the full game?

The plan is to make them available either just before, or sometime after, the final release.

Thank you. Can someone at least lock this thread ? its really become useless now.

the mass term has to do with how the ship is affected by gravity, correct?

massive, massive massive. when the threads become useless they drift away. until then there are always things to look into. like the mass term you adjusted.

so as they originally hinted at...
what does changing the mass actually do??
