Title: Need help scaling Dark Trooper
Post by: jdee-barc on August 30, 2012, 08:16:39 PM
I tried scaling the animations, and model (via the option file) (scaled everything by 2.0) and this Darktrooper turned out monstrous (what I wanted) but there's a problem with it.
[spoiler](https://dl.dropbox.com/u/33403316/animationbug.jpg)[/spoiler]

The legs are stuck half way in the ground,  unlike the unchanged guy next to him.

How do I fix this, if its possible?

Maybe editing the odf to fit with the scaled options? ( sleepkiller probably knows how )

I'm munging it. I got some advice not to scale anything beyond 1.3 so the Darktrooper will be a bit smaller but still gigantic compared to everyone else

Presuming you have scaled up the skeleton with animation munge you need to add these lines as well.

SkeletonRootScale = "1.25"
CollisionRootScale = "1.25"

If you don't mind me asking, how do you edit .option files? I've been curious what they do and how you can edit or change them.

You can link me to a tutorial if you want.

Sorry if this is off topic, you can move it to another forum if you want.

EDIT: Oh btw, is .option modding OC?

msh.option files can be edited with text editor.
They usaly need for: adding bumpmap, edit size, disable/limited collision, adding shadow.

I don't think so, I capture my knowlege by Assets exploring...
But here the micro tutorial for this:
1. change size (twise in this sample):
-scale 2.0
2. disable collision:
-nocollision
3. disable collision for munge process (totaly decreased time of munge):
-donotmergecollision
4. bump texture
-bump some_texture
5. add shadow (works not for everything)
-hiresshadow
6. disable model for game 3th view (used for 1st person models)
-nogamemodel
Also, it may be useful, for turets/vehicles:
7. keep moving parts:
-keep aimer_y aimer_x hp_pilot hp_fire
8. scale size, of infantry spawn area:
-boundingboxscale 1.0
Probably, you may found many other msh.option files, but I am not sure, wat exactly, they can do... :P
