Bugfix Question: Moving Springblossom docking latch

Post by akruppa » Sun, 9. Feb 14, 14:14

The Springblossom is relatively wide when taking the wings into account, and its docking latch (the point in the model where a docking clamp attaches) is very far back, in fact it looks like the clamp attaches to the back edge of the engine. Unfortunately, when two Srpingblossoms are docked side-by-side, the weapons on their wings overlap, resulting in instant collision and destruction when trying to undock either one.

Thus my question: is it possible to move the location of the docking latch further to the front of the model? The two docked Springblossoms overlap only barely, so moving the latch by a few meters would probably do the trick and allow safely undocking. I assume that would require editing the types/tships.txt file, but I don't know what format the entries use. I'm also under Linux, so no X2 Editor for me. Any pointer to which entries to change?

Edit: added "Question" to title
