The reversed spanker animation bug no longer exists in SDTEHO

[DF5]

When I played SDTEHO recently, after importing some third-party ship models, I‘ve found a problem: All the spankers are turn to the wrong direction. I remember POC and AOP have this bug, then Some one made a way to solve it. but this bug reappeared in SDTEHO. So, I think the DEVs have been fixed this bug, the previous repair method for this game was incorrect on the contrary. but I forgot it due to not playing for many years.

Finally, I found this topic: Notice - Important notice to Modellers, so I knew how to do. the locators of which the 'XX' value were set to '-1' shoud have to be modified to "1" now. for example, there are two GM files of HMS_Victory shoud be reset: mast4, rea_a4.

However, I found this method is not suits to USS.Constitution. Because the author re-exported the spanker model of which normals has been inverted. So, the GM file of rey_d44 should to make a copy, change the texture on original model to be invisible in HEX editor, then attach the copy to the original model with the locator's value of "-1" in "XX" coordinate.
