ok pounding away at mounting points! if i just place a point in max, checking absolute rotation its 0,0,0. then if i apply 180 to Y, which should flip it upside down, gives an absolute value 0,-180,0 and then move it down to the lower portion of the model. Export, place in game load a game up. Now i can see both mount points and the model.
I can attach things to the top no issues what so ever. Then i goto the bottom mount point i try to attach anything and the whole model disappears the jewerly appears centered but you can attach anything to it. At this point all you can do is select another hull because nothing will work.
Is there a bug in the system? has anyone been able to get mount points that point down?? Also i loaded a max file from the sample ship and all their dummys have a value of 0,180,0 so maybe it was the 180 on mine. So instead of adding a value to Y of 180, i add -180 which gives me the absolute value of 0,180,0. But still the same issue.
Getting real fustrated at this point so i'm going out to dinner! Need some help guys pitch in if you got any ideas...
