Box surrounding ship not around it

[FriendlyFire]

I know it may sound stupid, but is the HpMount on the center of the model and is that model’s center on or very close to 0,0,0 in the CMP?

[Tiger_MU]

it is exactly on: (x,y,z) 0, -3.5, 0

HpMount is on the centreline, but like many is a bit below.

Centre close to 0.0.0 in CMP, not 100% sure how to read these.

Using the FLModel Tool the data is
Center :
0.059589 0.356242 -1.361100

Is that it?

And if yes, is that far enough away to be a problem?

and for the sur!!! lots of numbers, is this of use

Surface :
CenterX : 0.014450 CenterY : 4.513978 CenterZ : 16.408697

**It is most likely the sur file. When you target something, you are targetting the center of the sur file not the cmp. I would check it to see if the type is ‘SHIP’ (Type #4), typically you will see this when it is the wrong type.

As stated above you will also need to make sure the center of the sur file matches the center of your ship.**

That’s a dead give away, your 16 units behind on the z axis, you need to resize the CMP & SUR with FlModelTool to get them to line up.

[Tiger_MU]

thx, will try to get the center sorted.

The .sur appears to be a “borrowed” and resized copy of a vanilla Sabre sur.

Maybe during resizing it got scrambled and doesn’t match the requirements.

I’ll check out with another sur to be sure.

[Tiger_MU]

where can I get this FLModelTool?

Want to take a look at it

Erm, knew this as FLModelResizer, downloaded from EOA.

[Bejaymac]

It’s been updated several times since it was called that.
