Changing coffe cup

[MaximilianPS]

Actually i've opened an old mine project about the italian moca.
at the moment, it's a clone of the low cost coffe maker cause it fit perfect with the italian one but the cups are too big, so i need to use the expresso cups.

on my ignorance i've imported the drink espresso and drink espresso - test function from the expresso machine... but as you can immagine it didn't work, so that's why i'm here again :\
would you help me ?

It is not quite that simple, you also have to link up the BHAVs, but really, you should just replace the prop GUID when it creates the coffee cup props.

[MaximilianPS]

i was thinking to replace the code when create the cups .. so the game will create the small one instead the big one
but i didn't find any "summon" command in the bhavs

indeed the error that i get with the "Drink Espresso" is  Slot number out of range.

i've solved it by adding a new slot..
but id didn't work...

now i'm testing a mix
Interaction - Drink Coffe - TEST
Interaction - Drink Expresso

[J. M. Pescado]

It means the standard coffee maker does not have docking ports to hold espresso cups, so you cannot use the drink espresso cup-spawner to dock the cups on the machine itself.

[MaximilianPS]

indeed.. i think the best way is to find a way to replace the big cup with the smallest one..
any suggestion on how to ?

[J. M. Pescado]

Not offhand. You can send it to me and I can look, though. This would just functionally be an espresso, though, since I think the motives and behaviors of coffee-drinking are actually contained upon the cup.

[MaximilianPS]

it shouldn't work like an expresso machine.. but like the lower cost coffe machine...
but with the small coffe cup

<file gotten>

[J. M. Pescado]

Okay, looking over. Trimmed some unnecessary junk that commonly attaches itself. Made file smaller. Moved your Italian language strings over to the Italian block. Could do with an English translation of catalog blurb.

[MaximilianPS]

oh lol.. mr J.M. you can do what you want, the important things is that it will work at the end..
i've to fix the texture and the material definition, after that you could put it on The Firing Range with the fulshforce 

[J. M. Pescado]

Well, you might want to be careful with how you fix the texture, I have to repack it afterwards so that it will be tightly packed. And yeah, see above: English translation for the rest of us. You can write it in MaxSpeak if you wish, I will try to clean it up.

[MaximilianPS]

ok to solve the problem in the fastest way you could use for the "Max3D-LaMoka_carafe_rot_gmdc" the material definition of "Max3D-LaMoka_body_txmt" .. texture is good enough

about translation.. i didn't touch the original description, so you an put that:

Max & J.M. are happy to offer to you a realy good coffe.

 

[MaximilianPS]

ok my mr. J.M.
here we have the lastest and correct version of the moka
so you can change the cup, about the catalog descrption... i've faith in you 

[J. M. Pescado]

Oh, bother, now I have to re-strip, package, and compress everything again. What exactly did you change in it, so I can just alter that?

[MaximilianPS]

wops...
just the material assigned on the shape....

go to shape, select cafe_root_shape,
click on tab Pats, select glass and replace it with body


we need to be a bit more sincronized 

[J. M. Pescado]

So you changed the SHPE? Because I don't understand any of that babble. I just need to know what resource you changed, whether it's a SHPE or something else.

[MaximilianPS]

no resource, just a material fix...
'cause the orginal one have a glassbow, so the moka (Max3D-LaMoka_carafe_rot) have a realy weird effect on his surface..
that's why i've assigned to it the body mmat.. that's all

nothing more of different from the previous version

... i've a strange sensation of deja-vu, dont' you :lol:

[J. M. Pescado]

So what'd you change? MATD? TXMT? Summarize what I need to copy from your new file to the working "clean" version.

[MaximilianPS]

just the shape

[J. M. Pescado]

just the shape

You're hellbent on making me guess randomly which file resource you altered, aren't you? I demand a straight answer, otherwise I'm just not gonna bother. Now, what did you do? Quit playing stupid games with me. Did you mean the SHPE file, or some other file?

[MaximilianPS]

wops.. yes.. i mean the SHPE
wonder why i call it Shape wile i mean SHPE


btw yes, i've just changed SHPE
