Weird triangles on vehicle .p3d

[Terramesa 66]

Hello,

 

I've been playing around with the A2 sample models provided graciously by BI and I have come across these weird triangles (Pictured below \/) attached to the models.

On first assumption, they look like they are related to lighting in some way. But I'm not too sure.

 

Any help/ answers on these?

 

I'm using blender and I also thought that might have something to do with it.

 

P.S. Can I remove them? would they impede on editing the model?

Those are the proxies for various things such as the gun muzzle flash, crew positions, flags. They act as reference positions for loading other .p3d objects on to the vehicle model in game.

 

they should all have selection names like proxy:Path\To\Some\Other\Model.00N

 

You can remove them while you're editing the model, but you'll want to copy at least some of them back in from the original .p3d once you're done editing the vehicle. Otherwise some of the vehicle's features wont work.
