The Tool

[Takeda-One]

Hi mates,

has someone any idea why the BrigSW can't be read by the Tool and what could be done about it??

Whats the meaning of the other locator values (behind xyz)?

 

[Captain Maggee]

Quite a few ships for some reason cant be read on tool on some computers, it really is quite annoying

The values behind x,y,z are, I think, locator rotation values.

The values behind x,y,z are, I think, locator rotation values.

Yes: the last 2 ones should (always?) be 1 0. XX = ZZ and XZ = -ZX and YY = 1. the other ones I have not experimented with.
Sort of standard values are: XX = ZZ = YY = 1. all other = 0.

If you (from standard values) want to turn a locator 180 degrees change XX (and ZZ) to -1

If you (from standard values) want to turn a locator 90 degrees: change XZ to 1 and ZX to -1. This means a 90 degree turn to the right. Vice versa to the left.

Then you can wonder why it isn't enough with 2 values: I for horizontal angle and 1 for vertical angle???

values are also for size and scale...

You know how?

If you (from standard values) want to turn a locator 90 degrees: change XZ to 1 and ZX to -1. This means a 90 degree turn to the right. Vice versa to the left.

I both cases XX = ZZ = 0 too.
