Didn't notice it, but your program doesn't show the hitbox...Your_Persona wrote:QUOTE (Your_Persona @ Mar 30 2009, 09:16 PM) Don't know if you are using this or not.. But you can use this to see the garage panes.
Showing the model (from MDL) and you showing the garages (from cvh). That's totaly useless, since the server/client doesn't use the mdl model, it uses cvh file for hittest & docking.
The cvhs are broken, that's the reason why you can fly into the IC/Giga/Rix Garr model and you can't dock at GT bases aso smoothly, because garage joints are not far away enough from hitbox.

the garage joints are planes. Thus it does not matter how far they are away. It only matters their angle, and volume.

Isn't the docking code triggered by a colission with the hitbox which is in the volume enclosed by the garage joints?
- Something which would be useful is highlighting the part of the hitbox which is enclosed by the garage - as that's the part you need to crash into to dock (although it should be fairly obvious from just lookig at the garage volume in mdl utility2)

What I have observed and found helpful is to exagerate the borders of the docking garage.
Rather than put the edges exactly on the same plane as the edges of the model garage, expand them beyond what is really the model edge. Because 9 times out of 10, if you're docking your ships at angles to the doors, part of your ship will be beyond the actual model edge of the door.

I've followed this method and have had very few issues with my doors as well.Weedman wrote:QUOTE (Weedman @ Apr 11 2009, 11:19 PM) What I have observed and found helpful is to exagerate the borders of the docking garage.
