Sorry about the confusion  This was the 256*256 blurry texture I was talking about.  I do all my large texture mapping at 2048*2048 then resize to 1024*1024 for in-game.

Awesome  Two minor nitpicks though there are not absolutly necessary. I would round up the nose a little, and give the turrets in the sidepylons some more cylinder like appearance. There were just blocks in the old WCP model because of the poly-limitiation, but it shouldn't hurt SCP to be a a little more detailed (and also the laser and the stormfire-cannon below the nose). The fun part is, with your awesome model I don't have to make myself a headache in creating an uv-map, so thanks

Heres an update. LOD 0 is becoming rather heavy with the polycount... little over 3000  Fortunately Lod 1 returns back to little over 1000

It can be a side-effect of texture baking sometimes, bump-mapping doesn't lend itself all too well to baking, you'll see the most pronouned effect with diagonal lines, which can look very non-aliased and jagged, especially on smaller maps

UGH I would so screenshots but now whenever I go to weapon selection the whole game crashes. This is going to be a pain finding the cause  Edit: ok fs2 debug is asserting on this: Assert: currline_dest < WEAPON_DESC_MAX_LINES File: c:\fs2_open\code\missionui\missionweaponchoice.cpp Line: 3294 [This filename points to the location of a file on the computer that built this executable] Call stack: ------------------------------------------------------------------ fs2_open_d-20060306.exe 00a216c5() fs2_open_d-20060306.exe 00a1f933() fs2_open_d-20060306.exe 006e437f() fs2_open_d-20060306.exe 0089b821() fs2_open_d-20060306.exe 006e57e5() fs2_open_d-20060306.exe 006e5a69() fs2_open_d-20060306.exe 00b64887() kernel32.dll 7c816d4f() ------------------------------------------------------------------ I've set all the +Tech Descriptions to XSTR ("", 3247)$end_multi_text and +Description: XSTR ("", -1)

do you have models for weapon select enabled? you might have too many gun and missile points.

Do you have $end_multi_text lines in proper places? For example after the +Description: XSTR ("", -1) entry?

I think I might have found at least one of the reasons why I'm having this problem... I ripped up nearly everything... I noticed that if I replaced the custom weapons the original ones (keyser and prom) in the ship table file everything worked ok. I then took a Sidearm weapon data and slightly adjusted it bit-by-bit into this This works: ; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; Tachyon Cannon ; $Name: @Tachyon Cannon +Title: XSTR("Tachyon Cannon", -1) +Description: XSTR( "Standard Issue Level 3 Hull Damage Level 3 Shield Damage", -1) $end_multi_text
+Tech Title: XSTR("Tachyon Cannon", -1) +Tech Anim: Tech_Subach_HL-7 +Tech Description: XSTR("", -1) $end_multi_text
$Model File: none @Laser Bitmap: newglo9 @Laser Glow: 2_laserglow03 @Laser Color: 250, 0, 0 @Laser Color2: 0, 0, 250 @Laser Length: 10.0 @Laser Head Radius: 0.90 @Laser Tail Radius: 0.90
$Mass: 0.2 $Velocity: 1000.0 $Fire Wait: 0.3
$Damage: 45 $Armor Factor: 1.2 $Shield Factor: 1 $Subsystem Factor: 1.2
$Lifetime: 2.0 $Energy Consumed: 5.333 $Cargo Size: 0.0 $Homing: NO
$LaunchSnd: 192 $ImpactSnd: 85 +Weapon Range: 100000
$Flags: ("in tech database" "player allowed" "stream")
$Icon: iconSD4 $Anim: SD4 $Impact Explosion: none
#end
This doesn't ; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; Tachyon Cannon ; $Name: @Tachyon Cannon +Title: XSTR("Tachyon Cannon", -1) +Description: XSTR("", -1) $end_multi_text
+Tech Title: XSTR("Tachyon Cannon", -1) +Tech Anim: Tech_Subach_HL-7 +Tech Description: XSTR("", -1) $end_multi_text
$Model File: none @Laser Bitmap: newglo9 @Laser Glow: 2_laserglow03 @Laser Color: 250, 0, 0 @Laser Color2: 0, 0, 250 @Laser Length: 10.0 @Laser Head Radius: 0.90 @Laser Tail Radius: 0.90
$Mass: 0.2 $Velocity: 1000.0 $Fire Wait: 0.3
$Damage: 45 $Armor Factor: 1.2 $Shield Factor: 1 $Subsystem Factor: 1.2
$Lifetime: 2.0 $Energy Consumed: 5.333 $Cargo Size: 0.0 $Homing: NO
$LaunchSnd: 192 $ImpactSnd: 85 +Weapon Range: 100000
$Flags: ("in tech database" "player allowed" "stream")
$Icon: iconSD4 $Anim: SD4 $Impact Explosion: none
#end
Notice the +Description.. Is this my fault or should this go into mantis?

Scooby_Doo, try putting spaces throughout the tables, like $Name: @Tachyon Cannon and put the line after +Description with +Description.

Oh my! Thanks Windrunner! people actually like my work LOL As for the Description problem... for the moment i just pasted the weapons name into the description.. that seems to solve the problem. Heres some in-game shots in windowed debug mode. One thing I've noticed at least with the ancient Geforce 2 it's not the polycount that kills it, it's the multi-texturing.

The Pirahna seems to rather sluggish in-game... at least with Surrender Bel... course this computer fits into the "too slow" category.
Also question...is there an easier way to create/modify vp's instead of doing vpmake then vpmage?
