CA3+ Arm Symbol Problem

Shessar

There is a problem with the "Human Male Thin Left Arm 2 Shirt Sleeve" . The Vari-color map does not line up with the symbol.
Has an update/ fix ever been posted for this? I don't want to download the installer again if it hasn't been reported/fixed yet.
Thanks!

It is not the installer.
I have not been able to find a way around the issue that you have neither.
Hopefully Ralf can fix it upon his return. :-)

Shessar

Thanks Charles!

I figured that you would know if it had been fixed or not. I consider you the CA expert on the forums.

Monsen

Not fixed as far as I know (Didn't know about it myself before now), but you can easily fix it yourself from symbol manager if you need that symbol.

I haven't got CA3 (yet), so don't know anything about the symbol sets and what they do/don't contain, but would a temporary fix be to use the right arm equivalent and reflect it for the left arm?

Loopysue,

Because the arms are in different positions depending on what side it is, you would also have to mirror everything else as well (arm, weapon, glove, etc.). You would also have to change the sheets that the items are on. It is a great idea though. It is already giving me ideas. LoL! ;-)

Loopysue

Oh good. Now I'm completely all at sea trying to work out what you mean! LOL!

But happy to be of some small assistance

I used Loopysue's idea of using Mirror to give you more options for the arms.

I created a Sabinian Gladiator and used the same arm for both sides.

Besides mirroring, I had to change the sheet to ARM LEFT, Change the sheet for the armor to ARM LEFT ARMOUR, and change the sheet for the Gauntlet to ARM LEFT GLOVE. I did not have to change the sheet for the weapon.

Below is the example.

Loopysue

Oh I see what you mean, now! LOL

Happy accidental suggestion

Shessar

Thanks for this Charles. I've found that there are left arm scale armor symbols missing from the male models. I've managed to use one from a different model but it is a bit different in shading. Mirroring the arm will solve that problem nicely.

These are still works in progress.

Very nice Shessar! I had looked at the modern set for weapons as well. They have a nice set of modern objects that can be used with CA3+.
