Good News, Bad News
Good News; All three versions of the Flakvierling 38 went to BETA this evening.
Bad New; I screwed up. On the Gary 20 RAF/Brit Object BGL's I forgot a very old lesson. Put simply when you get a model out of gmax you look at the 0.asm file to find the radius in meters. This number is used in the SCASM SIZE line which tells CFS2 how much space the object occupies. Now, it measures this along the longest axis of the object....BUT.. If you took a protractor and put the point in the center and the scribe at the edge of the Square/Rectangle then spun the compass, what happens? You cut off the corners. This is what has happened where you see buildings prematurely disappear from the edge of you screen or the opposite, pop into view. You've told CFS2 this object has X Radius but the corners extend beyond that radius so CFS2 says "Stop displaying that object" or "Display this object now" even though the corner(s) should have displayed already. The funny thing is this only seems to happen to objects with a radius of >20m. My Bad.
I'm going to issue an update tomorrow and ask Rami to update the files in the existing D/L. Sorry for the incontinence, I'll make it right.
