Get the NPCs to fire them. That’s what I did to test my missiles.

ive attached the model here just in case,

One thing that I should mention is that you have to click the

Multi-part checkbox

(SUR Type) in order to create a multi-part SUR.

However, I tried with your missile.3db and I can confirm that the resulting SUR dos not display in HardCMP 1.0.0.23. That is currently my best test tool.

I used adoxa’s surdump to display the SUR in human-readable form. I don’t see anything obviously wrong with it, but maybe somebody else can spot what is wrong with the SUR created by the builder?

I attached single-part and multi-part SURs generated by the builder, along with the surdump text files. This is the first model I have found that does not create a working single-part SUR, so I am curious about this model.

Sushi re-exported your model as a CMP, which made the SUR builder happy:

re: CMP to SUR Conversion Tests

You now have a nice, form-fitting, SUR, as well as the tool to create more.

Give it a test and let us know whether it works for you.

3db’s won’t display the sur file in Hardcmp, no matter how many times you make them, just how it is, doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with them. Try it on any of the vanilla 3db sur files

Thank you, Gibbon. That means that my test of the SUR Builder on the original missile was inconclusive, because I only tested in HardCMP.

However, frozenballs tried the .3db in-game with no joy, so something that Sushi did made a difference. I have it on my list of things to look into regarding the SUR Builder.

It just needed some love, that’s all I gave it to make it work

Nice.

Sometimes it is not so much what you do as how you do it.

frozenballz

aha. thank you for your assistance, people

ive a question though. is it possible to have stuff like missile projectiles as CMPs instead of .3dbs? i always assumed stuff like that -has- to be built as a .3db.

i will try the model sushi’s done sooonish and will post up teh results asap.

Here you go, here’s a CMP a spliced together from the Vanilla .3db file with the hacked vanilla SUR (it needed to be attached to the root), I haven’t tried it out on freelancer yet but It should all work. try it out!
