I modded a Venator (the Absolution if you've used my mod) to include turbolasers instead of missile launchers.  The missiles were removed, point-defense lasers shifted from the back to the middle (referring to attachment bones) and added the turbos in the back.  It all works fine, but the model shows some battle damage and smoke even when at full health.  Anyone know what's going on?  ???

Are you using the Damaged Turbolaser images??

To be honest, I'm not sure.  I just copied the turbolaser data from the VicStar and attached it to the Venator.  (Was Victory's weapon 02 & 03 I think).

Did you leave some bones unoccupied? I you did, the game might consider them as destroyed hardpoints and show the fire and smoke to show where the 'damage' is. That's my guess, at least.

I don't think I left anything unoccupied.  Here's my xml file.  Perhaps one of you could look at it and see what's wrong (under Jedi Cruiser).

Hmmm...I've looked at it, and I can't seem to find anything wrong (nothing I can tell). We need someone who really knows what they're doing, because I don't get it...

Perhaps it's just something wierd with the demo.  I'll be getting EaW:CE tonight, so maybe it'll work in there.  Thanks for your help!  ;D
