Addon Development Questions

[Nickmick95]

I have been trying to make my own skin for the DGIV with photoshop and do everything correctly until when I load my skin. I look at the Delta-Glider and its my skin, but the wings are messed up. They look like docking textures wraped around it. Can anyone help me?

maybe post a piccy of whats going on?

What DDS mode are you using to save?

 

[Nickmick95]

I am using dds Converter 2. Here is a pic of the problem.

Looks much like they are rotated by 180°.

 

[Nickmick95]

Sometimes I rotate them by 180 degrees to put words or flags on the wings.

A Question for Ar81

Ar81, I have read just about all your tutorials for making surface bases and Rockets, but could you make a tutorial on how to make a dll code for ships or rockets or using spacecraft3? Because I haven't been able to make rocket or ship that works right. Can you help me?


____ That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind____

 

[Quick_Nick]

The spacecraft3 manual should provide a little help. And there is a tutorial for vessel dlls here and ar81 spacecraft tutorials here.
If you really want to make dlls, this setup tutorial can help, but you'll still need to learn C++.
Also, please use the PM system if you really want to contact an individual.

You should also look at ar81's tutorials.

Creating parachutes

How can I create Parachutes for my spacecraft?

 

[tl8]

How can I create Parachutes for my spacecraft?

It depends what the vessel is and how it is programmed?

Computerex's Universal Parachutes may be what you want.

If you're using spacecraft3, an easy hack is to put a large speed brake at the location of the deployed parachute. Then all that's left is the deployment animation.

Creating Space Stations

Does anyone know how to create a space station with moving parts?

 

[itchythemouse]

In what way, by using addon blocks such as SpaceStation Building blocks or by actually making a mesh yourself with a 3D modelling program?

 

[Nickmick95]

Making a Mesh Myself.

Setting the Size for Ships

How can I set the size for a Capsule I am making?

 

[ar81]

I do not understand the question. I will answer to several possible interpretations of the question.

If you already modelled a vessel and you need the size to make an INI file, you may use [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=2740"]Mesh Wizard 1.9d[/ame]to see its size.

If you made a mesh and you want to scale (resize) you can use [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=2740"]Mesh Wizard 1.9d[/ame]also.

Thank you!

Nickmick,

I merged all your addon development threads into one and renamed it to "Addon Development Questions" as there is no need to spam up the addon development forum with several different questions using several different threads. It would be easier and cleaner to keep them all in one thread.
