Kultorask Hardpoint issue (Visual)

from Sins Forums

Vasari Rebel Kultorask's hardpoints for planet bombardment seem to be from random points on the front of it. I'm sure that's not intentional.

Agreed.  I really think it should either come out of the central "eye" or the orbs on it's arms.

Another minor thingy: The TEC Krosov Siege Frigates only use their left turret to launch bombs with. Bombing works fine but it still bothers me when I look at it...

There are 4 bomb hardpoints on the FrigateTechSiege.mesh but in the entity file you see the following, which unlike weapons does not have anything for PointStaggerDelay which determines the timing between shots emitting from hardpoints.  If, with weapons, you have a pointstaggerdelay of 0.2 and there are 10 hardpoints on the front, then shots will come out of those 10 hardpoints at 0.2 second intervals -sort of like the Vasari Starbase firing effects.

There are other ships like the TEC siege capital that have more than 1 bomb hardpoint -are they only using 1 bomb hardpoint or both?

Seems like they only use 1 hardpoint.

just found this post so...

 

http://i47.tinypic.com/zvxush.jpg - picture showing the bug

It shoots from center of mass and its weapons per bank show up all over the place.

 

 

 

 

those 2 points in the center are hangers

In the .mesh file THERE IS NO WEAPON 4, but 5 weapons are listed (5x = 0,1,2,3,4)

um....  think Ironclad forgot something....

this is probably why the "planet bombardment seem to be from random points" because its trying to find the correct point to shoot from.

 

 

I think 8 points of "Weapon-1" should have been labeled "Weapon-4"

there is also no Bomb point listed and only     NumPoints 52

 

trying to fix this bug but not sure how many weapons to give it checking the manual doesn't help

 

Weapons (Fore): 6 x Phase Missile Launchers / 6 x Hvy PulseWave Cannons / 4 x Point Defense
Beams / Ship-to-Planet Beam Cannon
Weapons (Side): 3 x Pulse Beam Projectors (Starboard / Port) / 3 x Point Defense Beams
(Starboard / Port)
Weapons (Aft): 1 x Hvy Phase Cannon

 

6... on a ship with 8 bits hmmmm
