When is a second set not a second set?

...When I try to use the shän's "The second set of frames in the base image are displayed when the ship is not carrying any of its KeyCarried type ships onboard" flag (0x0004).

Just as an experiment, I made a quick plug that creates a "Galaxy class" starship aka the U.S.S. Enterprise, that does a saucer separation. Unfortunately, the ship appears to have already separated before the saucer section has left, and appears whole when it has left. This seems wierd. (download link no longer exists because I no longer have it on my iTools) I would apreciate somebody telling me what I've done wrong, and telling me how to fix it. Or do I just make the second set the first set and vice versa? If so, somebody should fix the Nova Bible.

I can't see anything wrong with it, but swapping the sets is a simple enough workaround. Slightly odd, though.

Yes, it is truely odd. Oh well, time to go swap...

BTW, like my graphics? I think they are professional quality ;).

HEH.
I would definitely say that, uh, it's the same shape as the Enterprise.

You have got the FramesPerSet and the BaseSetCount right, haven't you? That can cause problems... Try sending the original plug in so I can see what it looks like... (url="http://"mailto:sabbas@btinternet.com")mailto:sabbas@btinternet.com(/url)sabbas@btinternet.com

Hmm, this is so strange! I tried EVERYTHING, must be a bug in Nova...

------------------

Well, if it ends up that things are just like that, then the Nova Bible should probably be changed to reflect that. If it is a bug, then it should be fixed. I'll report it to the authorities.
