Would anyone know a formula to convert x,y,z orientations to the orientation format used in storyline missions or just in general how to understand them?

I'm assuming you mean the coordinates used in the system ini to position and orientate the various objects?
pos = 22000, 0, -10000 is X, Z, Y
Looking at the in game nav map +ve X is from the centre of the map to the right and -ve X is to the left, stangely +ve Y is down the map from the centre and -ve Y is up, +ve Z is out of the map and -ve Z is into the map.
Angular orientation follows the X, Z, Y format and is based on 0 degrees being north, angle is measured anticlockwise so west would be +ve 90 degrees and so on, I recommend sticking with +ve angle measurements consistently to minimise confusion.

Rotate tutorial by rasauul
"Rotate" is made up of 3 values x, y, z and decides what way ur object/solar is facing
X = this is the vertical axis,
for example 90,y,z turns a docking ring so u dock with it from below
,docking from above demands a value of -90,y,zY = this is the axis where u turn object right(if positive value) and left(if negative value)
for example x, 90, z turns the object 90*(degrees) to the rightZ = this is the "other" vertical axis, works like the ones above,
for example: picture a docking ring a Z-value of zero ="00"
(normal docking ring setting, looks like two zeros next to eachother)
for example: picture a docking ring a Z-value of zero ="8"
(the docking ring is turned 90 degrees and now looks like the figurePlacing objects in 3dimensional space tutorial by rasauul
You will be modding this line: Pos = x, y, z
in fx.
Freelancer Mod Manager\mods\"mod name"\DATA\UNIVERSE\SYSTEMS\KU01(or other system)\KU01.inias usual we have our 3 axis' x, y, z
X = to the RIGHT (as seen on Nav Map, if positive value)
to the LEFT (as seen on Nav Map, if negative value)Y = UP (positive value) DOWN (negative value)
Moving an object on this axis wont show on your Nav Map, cause the nav map is 2 dimensional.
this is the least used axis in this game,
allmost all object in the original game has this value at zero.
This is a great axis for moving enlarged planets.Z = DOWN (as seen on Nav Map, if positive value)
UP (as seen on Nav Map, if negative value)
