Mesh resize tool for Windows 64bit?

March 13, 2012 7:21:35 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

I was wondering, what is the maximum size of a star mesh? 

Currently i have: BoundingRadius 54848.648438

I want to make it double, if this is possible, or at least 60% larger so planet scales look about right.
Can someone help me resizeing my mesh? The tools found on the forum are either gone or don't work properly on my system..

^ Problem solved

But I'm still looking for a tool to resize a mesh, the one I found on the forums don't work with my version of windows or the links are dead.

Many thanks!

EDIT: will this affect performance?

EDIT2: If someone has a program to resize txt meshes for Windows 7 64bit, PLEASE HAND IT OVER!!!

What program did you try? I've gotten two to work on my windows 7 64 machine, but one requires some missing .dlls (and only resizes), and the other requires you to install some matlab framework (comes with the installer). Pick your poison.

Nice, I'll take the one with the missing DLLs, I've had the one where de MSCOMCTL.OCX is missing in my system (tried to register it but it does not work for some reason). I only need resizing so

Yeah, that's this one. I has a link to where you can download the ocx (guess it wasn't a .dll), just be careful to hit the right link.

Thanks, alright it works now: first I could not register the .OCX file because I was using the wrong command:

For 64bit Vista/7 users you need to use the command: " %systemroot%\SysWoW64\regsvr32.exe blabla.OCX " (WITHOUT "")

Second of all, I needed to register another OCX file, COMDLG32, and then it worked.

and just for your info, you do NOT need to register the ocx's if they are in the SAME folder as the exe that needs them( as my utilities do)

I have just gotten a new labtop and have tried to transfer the resizer to it from the old computer but it will not go.  I have spent over 4 hours trying to get the mscomctl.ocx to resister.  I did what it says here on the forum and went to several other web sites geared for that application but nothing hasd worked.  Any thoughts.

Before the question is asked, the old computer runs on Windows 7 64-bit as dose the new one.

Axeldude's command line string above and running cmd.exe with administrator privileges got it working in Win 7 for me.

Nothing else worked.

Thanks Goa.

That Worked.

Thank You

For others that have this problem, you may need to download the COMDLG32.ocx also
