Turning starspheres

NeXoSE

My simplely answer: NO.

So, please feel entangle to re-export the model

PS. Infinitely turning is possible but troublesome.

Nope - in game all going black.

So. How to turn it a little bit?

Skotty

You can turn it via turning it in Milkshape!

Open the new and the old file in UTFEdit and just move the materials and textures to the same place in your new UTF. Starspheres have their mats included.

Im by no means an expert on hack, but as far as i know ship’s mass-center can be changed via hexeditor, it may possible to change rotating coords as well. Starspheres may work with that too.

Gisteron

as you mention it, would it work to have a starsphere with a ship file structure? so you can change the orientation in the fix node?

i remember a topic here long time ago, there was problem with the surs on ships, it was too long or what, so they wanted to change the coords of mc somehow via hexeditor, i guessed if that works on ships, it may works on SP too.

So which offset i must edit?

VNM51

As i said its just theoretical, so i wouldnt know that, but there are couple of hacking topdogs here, i believe they answer this question, if it is possible or not.

Skotty

The offset is just a point without any angular values. It would not do anything.

Gisteron

but probably there is another offset.

Nova

So what shall i directly do?

Gisteron

unless someone who knows will respond, the closest way is to edit the texture. cut a piece, move the remain and put it on the other side.

I said, all my tries to edit model of starsphere in milkhape makes starsphere full black or out of transparency of galaxies.

If it is only one, you can upload it and someone other rotate it

It would be extremely good.

Galaxy which across starsphere must be lefter about 20-25 degrees.
Look my screenshot in 1st message - belt must be behind planets.

VNM51

Just a q: can the starsphere cmps be defined as object with proper size?
If it can be, then rotation is solvable.

Gisteron

anyway, if you edit directly the texture it won’t affect the starsphere in any way but its visual look. the texture is the image upon, not the mesh.

VNM51

btw, after you rotate and before you export from ms3d, do you assign the entirely model and move/absolute x,y,z?
