Re: Size vs population

[scott2978]

Got a question:

 

In ships XML, there is the value and then there is . Which one does what? I figure they are tactical and galactic pop cap values, but don't know which and I'm just guessing.

Firstly...WOW... :

 

These entries are completely unrelated. Population value is, obviously, population value. Size value determines the physical size of the unit's models in-game.

[scott2978]

controls the size of the model, so I doubt that Sizevalue has anything to do with model size.

 

In stock EAW, the Mon Calamari cruiser has a SizeValue of 360, but the ISD has 8. So what does that value mean?

Scale Factor determines the size of effects (engine glows, lasers, etc.) : trust me, I've experimented A LOT with this. the reason the values are different is because the base models are of different actual sizes when they were made.

[scott2978]

Hmmm well then maybe the scalefactor changes the size of everything, because I know for a fact it changes the ship size. That's what I've been testing for the past few days. I'll have to experiment with when I get home.

Well, good luck, lol. For me it's never seemed to work properly unless I changed both by the same ratio (50%, 200%, whatever).

Personally, I've never touched the size value; I just use Scale Factor Every time and it works perfectly.

Damn, I'm just unlucky, lol. ;D
