Tile Modification Assistance...Please. :)

[Legacy_WoC_Builder]

               Good evening all.  I am here to plead for a member of the community to help us out over in our corner of the NWN world.  We are in the process of making some much needed changes, and part of that is the addition of a few "hub" areas.  One of those areas is Elven in nature. 

Last year we added the wonderful NWN2 placeables, given to the community by The George.  And among his additions is a theme that just screams Elven to me; the Samarach Chairs.  They will figure prominently in that hub...or would, were it not for a problem.

As you can see if you click the link below, the tileset we are using is the Elven City by Little Baron and Pogo Mudder; wonderful work.  '>  But that 1m offset is giving me fits, as I cannot get the NWN2 chairs to work for the reasons described.

As this one chair (I know, stubborn, aren't I?  '>) is so vital to our planned work, is there a modder in the community who would volunteer to fix the internal oriantation of this chair, so that attaching the simple x2_plc_used_sit script will work, and the PC faces the direction the chair does?  If not, well...nothing ventured, nothing gained.  '>

Sad to say we do not have a single modder on staff here at WoC, and so I come to ask for the community's help on this one.  If you are interested in making the fix, please PM me here, and I can send you the file if you do not already have it.  '>

Thanks for reading!  '>

               what i did with chairs in the past is to import the original chair, remove all geometry, except the damage thing, connect all my geometry to that one and export it under a different name. Hope that helps you a bit.

               It probably won't have the damage thing and the pwk_use nodes are probably missing, too. That's why it doesn't work.

               I just thought for a second again about this facing issue. I´m sure i tried to figure out back then what was the problem to no succes, so using the original chair as a guide seems to be the best way imo.

               The trouble is, I have no modeling knowledge whatsoever.  '>  That is why I am asking if anyone can help us by doing this for us.  If it requires a model rebuild, and is more than just opening Gmax and turning the blue arrow so it faces the proper direction, then I can see why I might not have many takers.

Thanks folks.  '>

               I looked at the chairs hak and didn't find the one you mean. There's a yellowish one that will not work properly as a chair, but I'm not sure that's the one you need.
Better upload the file somewhere. Baba already offered to fix it.
