Hi Art,
The station is coming along really nicely! Looks great!
What's the easiest, or rather correct method to rename props? I'm not satisfied with how I've named my car props and I'm looking into re-arranging it.
If you are using PIM-X then in the left pannel click onto the Prop menu tree (main PIM side, not the lot editor side) find your props (right top panel) and click one of them, then in the rightt bottom field with double click edit the Prop Examplar name, hit OK, then save it. If you gave additional Item name, you can edit those as well, but that actually doesn't matter, because for LOT Editor and X-LE the prop examplar name matters only. The item name would be viewable ingame. That's the fastest and safest name editing method. I did it with thousands of props for the Heretic Essentials.
If you want to change the
MODEL name, that's when you need the Reader. In the sc4model file among the FSH and S3D properties you would find one or more XML properties (editing this one is better with newer readers, but I think it works with the old v0.93 version as well). Click onto the xml property and in the text box in the right panel find and edit the model name, then save it with the small floppy icon which can be found at the top of this editor panel (
it's not the main save/save as... icon on the left top corner of the main window!!!!). At the end,
before you hit the main save/save as... floppy you have to
reindex and
rebuild the directory file in the middle panel with right click option on the list of properties (xml, s3d, fsh). IF you already DATpacked your models with the regular DATpacker (and not with Jdatpacker), then you will not find this XML file.
