I think that is for rockets. I don't think it works for dropships.

It coul be... but it's strange nonetheless because Dropships and Rockets are so similar...
Anyway number 3 (Always Ping Pong) seems to be more of general use, and doesn't work on my dropship. Any clue?

Never tried it. Will test it out with the mod I'm working on (actor with a long dangly neck that will be animated to sway).

I have enough trouble working out the sprite offsets. I don't understand what they're based off at all. Are the measurements some fraction of a pixel? How does the axis work? Should - go to the left? Wouldn't really matter which way it went seeing as the X and Y axis rarely seem to actually be right. Or am I missing something?

I know for sure that fractions of pixels don't work. The only values that can have decimals are the forces, like impulses, the mass of the objects and so on. Not the offsets.
The axis are strange. There's a tutorial that says that the X axis is inverted, but I read on the forums that sometimes it's not this way. The best thing to do is use the Actor Viewer editor. With it you can see the actor, then tweak the offsets in the .ini, reload the .ini in the pie menu and see the actor updated in no time.

I fear though that this editor is available only if you buy the game.

Fractions of pixels do work for offsets.

I know that you can put a decimal in the .ini for an offset, but probably it would be rounded by the game. That guide on the wiki says:

spriteoffsets are used to "center" sprites, by moving the sprite along the normal axes until the center of the sprite is at the origin. basically, spriteoffsets are what you get when you write
notice that the coordinates are always negative.

YOU CAN UPDATE THE INI IN THE ACTOR VIEWER?

HOLYSHITCAKES THAT'S AWESOME.

I'm gonna go make a mod now.

Yeah, Geti, but we were discussing wether you could write fractions of coordinates or not. Anyway half a pixel is never a big deal.


Yes but as I said I think the Actor Viewer is only available to those who buy the game. I assume you have it, from what you say.

To reload an actor's .ini it's Right Click (brings up the action wheel) and then mouse gesture up in the Actor Viewer. Works in the Gib Editor too.
