Laser Question

Post by Hamish »

I'm a total noob at almost anything to do with programming, but my private little BountyHunterCraft is coming along steadily.
I have a few questions:
How do I create multiple forward lasers
and can I import oolite modelfiles .dat in wings, and how?

You can't for player ships. Only NPCs can have them. There has been a few attempts at working around this problem, but as far as I know none too successfully.

You would need to use a converter. Find more info here: [wiki]Oolite Converters[/wiki]

That’s out of date; you’ll find fresher information right here on the forum.

Sorry for hijacking this thread. I am re-working Oolites models - not for release but for my own application. A few models converted to .obj are inverted. Just to mention two: The barrel (cargo pod) and coriolis station. When rotated in Wings they appear to be shape shifting. When inverted they appear normally. I was hoping someone could offer an explanation.
