Does anyone know if you can add hardpoints to an existing model, that currently has none? if so how?
My current issue is thus:
The shadowclaw has no hardpoints, just a projectile entry. Problem is, you can't have more than one weapon (that I know of) with out hardpoints. Have tried getting it to accept multiple projectile entries, but it just uses the first entry and ignores the rest.
Im working on a ship group - The Corellian Consortium (figment of my imagination) to complement the pirates. Am attempting to turn the shadowclaw into a Lt. Frigate. I've got my YT-1300's working as heavy fighters. But I need more weapons. Would be nice if the YT-1300's could be outfitted with cuncussion (SP?) missles or something else but same problem, no hardpoints.
Help please.

As long as they have no attachment bones you're pretty much screwed. I think the shadowclaw has none as I tried this myself already.
And the death star??? I would like to add an hardpoint for a fighter bay...
Any idea???
I don't think it has hardpoints.
Death Star dosent have hardpoints.
Can we add hardpoints to the death star??
Umm dont think so. When i try it crashes the game so........
How did you add the hardpoint that crashed your game??
You can change the existing hard points on any unit that already has them. You can't add new hard points to a model that doesn't have them because it does not have the attachment bones (as Adonnay said above). The Death Star is not really a "unit" it is more along the lines of a galactic-level hero, and does not have hard points.
I see. So, unless we add the attachment bones to the death star model (Probably impossible) we'll never see an hangar bay on the death star. Ridiculous. The first death star carried over 7000 TIEs!
Maybe with the official editor...
Lol, how can you not live for 70 seconds with 7000 TIEs?
I dont think he really meant to give it 7000 ties.
It will be good to give the DS some weapons and a hanger that spawns a few squad of ties just like a nomal space station if that is possible.
Funny... I watched Star Wars just recently, and in the battle against the Death Star I counted more like... um... maybe ten TIES?
Yeah. About ten.
Of course - You think ILM could afford 7000?
Note of interest:
I dont know if anybody else has got this yet, but, did you know that as long a a unit has a hardpoint (connection bone on the model), you can put more than one weapon there?
In my test piece, I was using a nebula-b frigate. Incase you dont know it has 2 turbo lasers and 2 laser canons on it.
one of the turbo hardpoints is called :
HP_Nebula_weapon_FL
I created a new one by copying the hardpoint info, and pasting right under the first, and called it:
HP_Nebula_weapon_FL_2
making it an ion cannon. added the hardpoint to frigate.xml file, and it works just fine. Two hardpoints, one bone.
I suppose that the cannonites ( :) ) could use this to go and put the "proper" canon number of weapons on the ships.
This would also make customizing ships a lot easier. Just thought I would share.
