Totally accurate title, right? I made a new object based on someone suggestion; an Asura-Glitch statue with light bulbs in its hands. I was ready to upload it as is, but then I noted a problem; the object is placed by it's bottom left corner, not the bottom center like all other objects. For example, when you try to place an object, the manipulator's beam leads to the bottom center normally. For me, it leads to the bottom left, which makes placing the object a bit more tedious. It seems to think that where my cursor is is the center, but this is obviously incorrect. It also makes my light come out in the left, rather than the center. Why is it doing this? Here's my .object file for reference; And here's a picture of the problem; http://imgur.com/ThfMI7i (why won't the site allow uploads today?)
I believe it's the image position down in orientations. Starbound reads images from bottom to top left to right. Find the width of your image and set the x coordinate in "imagePosition" to half of that.
Well I feel stupid now, I always thought that was something else. Thanks for the help! Now I just gotta figure out why my light is at the bottom instead of the top. I'll do that some other time.
I'm sure there's more parameters for lights that help place it. Look in the code for something like the spotlight and see if there's some more lines you can add from there. I know you can change cone shape and direction.
