scorpion has invisable(no) vtol componant

[psychopompos]

in skirmish at least...
il check the campaign tomorrow to see if the same bug is there
(the mission where vtol tech was acquired, i did this morning anyway)

is that each individual body, can have (ethetically) specifically designed propulsion(componants), what this bug indicates?
and not just the different weight classes?

actually that bug has been an ongoing one from 1999 to present day. ;D

dunno if anyone bothered to fix it...

[psychopompos]

ah ok, scorp has no vtol at all then?

what about the body specific propulsion/components then?

I think those are gone too. Which is a shame, because for some reason I really like New Paradigm bodies for VTOL.

its not that it doesnt have vtol... it just dont have the gfx for it...or the file is named wrong..or ??  dunno... no one has bothered to fix it... as far as i can remember.

I think something else is causing this. I once made a mod in which i replaced the scorpion body with my own (see avatar). And when i loaded it, only the heavy tracks prop was working and there were almost no weapons that displayed correctly. I thought at the time that it had something to do with intersecting body and muzzle or body and propulsions objects. I never tried to fix it though.

same here, light, cheap, faster the nexus, when i checked on the cam3 map the paradigm bodies arraived before the nexus equiv.

you mean the med bodies dont share the same vtol componant?
they all look the same.

if you put a unit on a cliff, and have it fire it a unit at the bottom of said cliff, the muzzle/barrel goes clean through the body its attached to anyway.
or do you mean something else that i dont understand?

I know, what i wanted to say is that by just using another pie file, a lot of other files don't display correctly. I hadn't changed any other parameters like filenames or anything else. therefore, i concluded that there was a problem with the body piefile.
