Resizing ships (mesh) and creating new ships.

from Sins Forums

I've been searching the forums trying to find a way to resize ships.
I found a lot of posts refrencing the need to resize the .mesh files, and links to a program called "Useful little helper" by newboerg.

Unfortunately all the links appear to be dead, and the posts are back from 2010 at the latest.
So I was wondering, is this program still valid and working? If so, does someone have a working link?
or, has a newer tool been made available that I haven't managed to find? and if so, could someone please let me know where I can get it from?

Thanks alot. :)

What I'm interested in doing initially is resizing some capital ships mesh's and using them to create a new ship. (like a mini-titan of sorts). Any quick advice on the best way of doing this would be appreciated too. :)

Thanks myfist0. :)

I had actually stumbled across that site, but hadn't looked further into it.
Was convinced I would have better luck on the forums.

Thanks again :)

I must be doing something wrong with the resize tool.

I wanted to make something double the size, so I resized it at 2.0

Then I placed the new Mesh file into the Mesh folder for my mod, but nothing is changing?
Could anyone provide any guideance to what I might be doing wrong?

 

Nevermind, early morning brain not working error. :)
All is good.

sorry, no idea as I just linked it, never used it. But I know others have.

the .mesh is supposed to be txt format, not bin format. Can you read the mesh file or is it gobblygook?

Edit: sweet :)
