Collision hulls problems

Trainee
Hello everybody,
I have noted that a number of Buda5 ships have VERY high poly count collision hulls, especially the Shadow
Battlecrab. This causes serious slowdowns when something is colliding with the ship. With the Battlecrab I succeeded to get the framerate down to about 0.5FPS when flying into the Jump Acceleration while normally I get about 20-30FPS with my old computer (I replaced my Comsec with Battlecrab in the normal SP).There is also a bug with the Tinashi collision hull: it is reversed (the nose of it is pointing backwards), and the Drakh fighter has a collision hull slighly bigger than the ship itself.
There is a developer mode command which displays collision hulls and, when used repeatedly, the null points:
[Game.DevToggleBounds]
Keyboard, B, CTRL, ALT
A shot of Tinashi collision hull:

(hope it shows up correctly, if you get "page not available" or similar message just press "go" button in the browser, this should help. I´m new to making web pages)
All in all, Buda5 makes hell of a good mods, can´get enough of them.

Hello Vladimier (and welcome in the European community :) ),
thanks for your helpful hints! Do you modding for I-War 2?
The Shadow Battlecrab thats included in the Pkg's [url=http://forums.firstones.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5458]is still Beta[/url], so it has no Collision Hull, that fits the normal PC performance. Furthermore the textures aren't still final.
Well, the modeller of the Tinashi was obviously a little bit topsy-turvy. ;)
So the Battle Crab is STILL beta? And somebody, PLEASE fix the Tinashi, I love this ship and can´t beleive what they did with it. I dropped my joystick to floor when a corvette flew throw the fin and NOTHING happened with it :eek:
