Well then, u need MPE, if you haven't got it already, then download BC SDK.

first thing u need to do is opening model, then u will be asked to load hardpoint load it then look at the rightside bar, there will be a tree of model nodes (similiar to block list in Nifskope) u need to click on 'Scene Root' in order to see all the hardpoints on left side bar.

Now you can modify everything about every hardpoint.

usually for realligning you'll need only 'locate tool' (especially usefull for most of the point-based hardpoints like torpedo launcher or ship subsystem, doesn't work too well with phasers) you can also hit edit and go to position tab and there you'll see XYZ coordinates, usefull for manual reallignment.

that should be all u need for now ;)

I can't understand one thing ... every single problem you encounter, you ask people to solve it for you... who made this ship then, you or every one else who answered in this thread ?

I agree, Kitbash may be... but re-hardpointing as well... No offence you might want this mod out asap, but please do some of the work yourself.

I'm now a lone person when it comes down to the dqp as Limey is extremely busy, you dont see me sponging.... I havent the time as tiq knows to be fixing other peoples mods...

If you don't try, you won't learn flarespire ;)

i agree with everyone dude.

when i did my VERY first ship, it was a TOTAL disaster, and i TRIED sponging like crazy.

it DIDNT work.

were not for not helping you, but you do gotta do some of the leg work yourself, otherwise you wont learn nuffin.

flarespire · « **Reply #144 on:** December 21, 2011, 01:54:06 PM »

yeah i know, and due to having to get a new case and PSU, i thinkive gotta do the HP all over again....

no promises but I may be able to help. there's some other stuff ahead.

flarespire · « **Reply #146 on:** December 25, 2011, 12:19:20 PM »

thx for the offer but its really just repositioning the current parts of the hardpoint, and it would be alot easier for me if the textures didnt goto white when i come to editiong the HP, MPE sure screwed me over there cuz i cant tell any of the positions properly....

Bones · « **Reply #147 on:** December 25, 2011, 12:27:51 PM »

Copy your hardpoint to the same folder the model is stored and then load the ship in MPE ;)

this happen usually after loading HP and resizing view window, it somehow looses track on textures due to HP and model being placed in different folder.

oh and be sure you set up your MPE ;) go to options and set paths leading MPE to model and hardpoint directories.

thx bones, i was wondering why it was doing that, and now i may have it ready as a boxing day release!

Bones · « **Reply #149 on:** December 25, 2011, 05:21:47 PM »

did it work ?

flarespire · « **Reply #150 on:** December 25, 2011, 06:11:44 PM »

still working on it, im around 50% done, but boy now i understand how hard hardpointing can be (guess its in the name lol Hardpointing) now i know what most modders go through on this one aspect.

Bones · « **Reply #151 on:** December 25, 2011, 07:07:11 PM »

Try to make one from scratch, I can tell ya it's pain

flarespire · « **Reply #152 on:** December 25, 2011, 07:28:38 PM »

i gathered that just from trying to correctally reposition the phaser arrays in the HP...

Starforce2 · « **Reply #153 on:** December 25, 2011, 09:16:46 PM »

are the positions off or do they need to be resied as well? Phasers are really not that hard.

Bones · « **Reply #154 on:** December 26, 2011, 04:22:36 AM »

I guess hardpoints were fitted for slightly bigger model, now after rescaling hardpoints stand off from the hull too much, so it's just a repositioning job.

You do this with locate tool or by hand in coordinates section ?

flarespire · « **Reply #155 on:** December 26, 2011, 08:06:48 AM »

by hand as i have no idea how to get to and use the locate tool

Bones · « **Reply #156 on:** December 26, 2011, 09:18:19 AM »

Oh my God

no wonder it's so much pain ...

It's the last button on toolbar, after you load a model with hardpoint, click on locate tool, then click on the spot you want your hardpoint placed, then hit 'edit' then goto 'subsystem properties' and click 'get position' button ;)
