Resizing Objects via ODF to appear larger in ZE [Solved]

Can somebody how to resize objects via odf so that they appear larger in zeroeditor?

I already know how to scale them in game, but lining them up is very difficult when they are a hundredth of the size in ZE.

P.S.
After this is answered, somebody please add it to the modding FAQ so noone will ever ask this again!

It was possible in swbf1, but I don't think scaling works very well in swbf2. I tried scaling something a long time back, but it would fade in and out at different view angles.

It works Astute, I already said that...

here is an example odf for making a door twice the size in ZE

Code: Select all

[GameObjectClass]       

ClassLabel  =   "door"
GeometryName    =   "dea1_prop_door2.msh"
GeometryScale    =   2
[Properties]        

GeometryName    =   "dea1_prop_door2"
AnimationName     = "dea1_prop_door"

Animation         =     "open"

AnimationTrigger  =     "hp_door 4.0"

OrdnanceCollision = "p_door"

OpenSound       = "door_open"
CloseSound      = "door_close"
LockedSound     = "vehicle_equip"
FoleyFXGroup    = "metal_foley"

psych0fred
did the scale animation thing to an acklay reduced it by 1/3 looks so cute now. thing is though it is off the ground as if it was still centered (nulled) around the full sized one is there a way to lower it?
Thanks

Wait... you can scale units too? So a map of migits vs Giants would be possable? 0.o

I did create option files (basically for every Acklay mesh I could find) the only thing that didn't appear to do anything was the munge in the animation\vehicle\geo_walk_acklay folder. It does do something but it is on an off screen so fast can't see what it says.
Anyway here some pictures of what I ended up with.

This one is fuzzy cause I zoomed in a bit.

This one shows how much above the water it is.

From what I have been able to decern from reading just about anything I can find, except for what will actually tell me what I need to know

collisonscale relates to how much damage it will take from collisions. I have however figured out what it is "walking" on by doing as you suggested with bf2modtools and looking at collisions (that's actually pretty cool and useful)

It seems the p_-so parts don't respond to the scale factor in the option file. I can see the reduced acklay but the other parts are orignal size. I know the p things relate to collision I just can't find the document I read it in. So I'll ask outright is there a switch for scaling these?

Thanks

look in the Wookies' .odf's

if I remember right there are also lines for collisionscal eand geometryscale in case you could use it. I don't have the files right here, so I can't check for myself
