I didn't know there was a specific rotation. I just created a null and positioned it without rotating. It's already pointing along the z-axis the right way.

Thanks for the comments/suggestions! ;)

As long as you place your firepoint along the z-axis it should work fine.

All the functions work now, I just need to create some templates and then Im finished, although the weapons tab still looks very empty...

Well, afaik there isn't much you can do with weapons, like no spinning parts for like a chaingun, no ammo counter on the first person model, so I think adding hp_fire(s) and maybe right scaling and positioning is all you might need.

Yeah, thats true... While were at it, does somebody have any wishes on non-SWBF2-specific scripts? Id just include them in the misc tab.

What kind of scripts are you looking for, macros, tool shortcuts, plugins/xsiaddons etc?
You could also include the lowres skeleton and tentacle templates on the Character Tools tab if you want.

I dont have the modtools/any tools to convert .msh, so anyone willing to convert some models for the templates? Id need the rebel rifle, rebel pistol, rebel rocketlauncher, a (stock) lightsaber for the weapons. A flyer without animations(ARC fighter?) and a hover without animations(SWBF 1 rebel hovertank?) for the vehicles.

I wouldn't mind. What format do you need them in?

Templates for all the "odd" unit skeletons (SBD, bdroid, Wampa, Vader, pilot, female, etc.) would be pretty useful as well.

@Fiodis: Actually just need a .obj although if its easier for you to export to something else, I dont mind, as long as it works. ;) Textures arent necessary, the templates will just be hierarchy/size references.

@Mav: True, but Id need the assistance of someone who can convert/redo those skeletons. ;)

I like a lot that idea:

AceMastermind and FragMe! have the full version of ultimate unwrap 3D for importing skeletons.

Heh, I already have most of those in .obj or .xsi form; I've got several folders of converted-from-msh units/weapons/props/vehicles. Usually they just take up space but occasionally I load up a few into XSI as references or to grab parts for kitbashes. The ARC, I believe, does have animations, but I used Vivaty to convert it smoothely (just the model, of course, not the skeleton). Is there some particular reason you want a vehicle without animations?

EDIT - Uploaded and sent a PM. Let me know if there's something wrong.

Thanks! I dont want to redo the envelopes/bone hierarchy for the vehicles, hp hierarchy isnt as prone to go wrong as bone hierarchy is. ;)

The only thing which is left are the special skeletons(Id be grateful for any of them ;)).
Ill release a test version in the next days I suppose.

Post a complete list of the skeletons you want and i'll start on this tonight maybe. Do you just want the skeletons or do you also want them with their geometry+UVs with enveloping and weighting too? This will determine how many steps I need to take to preserve this data.
