So, it includes Hex editing, but where and what do I have to edit?, I'm asking this, because I changed the scale of the ships so they are more realistic, and the engines are still like before.

Thanks for the tut, but I don't have 3d max, or at least not now, so any other way?

umm, that tut is to add engine glows, not resize them

 

i believe some one said previously on here before the posts were gone is to go to 2e4

Maybe you can change them somewhere in the XMLs. I haven't gone that far into coding.

No, it's hex editor job. I've managed to do it with the 'try-and-fail method', it's slighly different for each kind of engine (I resized Y-Wing's and gave them for Sovereign SSD).

My tutorial does not show how to resize engines.. so that doesnt work

Yes its in the hex edit.. I myself have never tried.. as im steering away from using engines..

 

But grab bails SSD engine then grab the Y wing engine.. and find out whats different..

that should be the resize. .since they are the same particle

So almost nobody knows how to do this

no.. quite a few people know...

 

I just dont happen to because i dont use engine glows anymore...

I know a few people who do know.. but.. who knows where they are atm

Well, I just need a quick Tut, and i'm done

Anyone ???

So no one knows...

y wouldn't u use engine glows? ???

I am pretty sure what swgbex means is nt using the EaW enigne glows, rather skins like this Lancer I converted from Warlords:

yeah, those work I guess...for the non-round glows anyway...although in FoC there are rectangular engine glows, so we could probably add proper engine glows to them once FoC comes out.

I like them better..

DIdint link to it as a pic.. because its too big.. but .. i just like its got more detail than the EAW ones.. but im going to fix that with different custom particles later on..

Ooh, cool. How do you do that? Just leave them in place when converting the model?

I dont know how he does it but, I just made a plane where I wanted the engines, then made an engine skin, then just applied it to the plane with MeshAdditive.FXO I think....
