DR Feature Request: ASE Exporter, Enter Origin


Recommended Posts

The situation

The way the ASE exporter works now is that the model's origin is either in the middle or at the map's centre. So if you wanted to have the origin in a specific spot you'd have to move the model to the map's centre and align it on all 3 axis, every time the model is exported.

 

 

Suggested solutions

> I'd appreciate the functionality to type in the origin directly. This way the user can move the func_static's origin where it's needed, and then copy-paste the origin spawnarg into the exporter window. I think this would be the easiest option to implement and already on its own would be enough to make exporting ase much easier to handle.

 

> Another option could be that the exporter finds and uses the origin of the selection. This would be convenient for simple objects, although it would be less straightforward if there are multiple parts in the selection. In that case it might need to go for the most recently selected part.

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!
