And if so it almost definitly changes how it rotates as Westwood are not stupid :) but wait that makes no sense as turrets only rotate in the ONE AXIS that height doesn't matter in. But wait the turret Barrels do go up and down so it is maybe them but guesses aren't accurate so I am going to just try this out with some test objects C U later and btw work on normals if you can dudes :p

> > i'm going to go on the theory that the turret offset moves the turret and it's rotation axis, forward and backward on the model. i'm going to figure out what the turret offset should be in my program and it will display it on screen for people to enter in the ini. i haven't done it yet because nobody offered to test it. no enthusiasm on other people's part means no enthususiasm on my part either. besides i've been in a bad mood lately. anyway, if someone says they are ready to test it then i will go code it.




> ok i have coded it. right now it will display what the turret offset number should be but:

sorry man ;_;
