Ezekiel

Enter a number smaller than 1 in the scale?

Ezekiel

Thanks

i’ve tried some values like -1 or -3 but i havn’t think about enter a value such 0,3 or 0,7

Thanks, it’s help me a lot

Just to add my 2 cents:
I think you should also rezise the corrosponding SUR-File of the ship.
There is an option in the FL-Model Tool to use the values of the new CMP-File
in order to rezise the SUR matching its new size.

Yes, i have do it, i always resize SURs with this tool

I’m probably repeating what you already know, but in case someone else might need it:

First you resize the .cmp by 1,8 or 0,2 or anything, and it’s “comma” not “dot”.
Then you resize the .sur by “Automatic to cmp” or other, value 0 - ~.

It works fine with custom ships et.all., but vanilla has problems.

Thank to remember us the vanilla ships incompatibilities with the resizer tool

As far as I understand it’s those “Heaven only knows” things. I’m not an expert modder, or IT specialist, but from what I have read wiser ones, the only real solution would, probably, be to get our hands on the Source Code.

It will only work with type 112 VMeshData (position, normal and one texture). You can usually see the type in the VMeshLibrary name (e.g.: data.ships.border_world.bw_fighter.bw_fighter.lod0-112.vms). Updating FLMT is something else I’ve yet to get around to. I did write a separate SUR resizer, though.
