Need some help fixing my cockpit view.

Post by sarlen » Mon, 22. Apr 19, 01:13

Hey folks. Got a quick question. I've been importing some ships from another game for personal use and I'm pretty happy with the results. I got the ship in with weapons, textures, and its all working great, except the cockpit view (F1) is flipped horizontally -- meaning the guns that are physically on the left side of my ship, are firing off on the right in the F1 Cockpit view. I've gone back about 4-5 times and redid my ship in 3ds Max to make sure that the Cockpit object is where it should be, and it appears that it is.

Would I be looking at the scene file or the components file for this one?

Any help would be appreciated!

Edit: I was able to figure this out by following this:
cameradummy is visible as small box
Import the scene file (for e.g. argon_TL_scene.bod)
Import body file "cameradummy" (located in the ships/props folder).
Make sure to label the part "Bships/props/cameradummy_##" (where "##" is a number to use for reference to find it).
Position the cameradummy part where you want it.
Export all to "scene"
Put the scene file into your mod catalog (say, newship.cat), into folder objects/ships/argon (for this example).
