Are people aware that the current glowpoints are bugged in a few ways, and have been since release?

Glowpoints don't disappear on warpout. Seems to be a problem at least one other (QD) experiences, as seen in his LPs.

Glowpoints seem to duplicate and lag behind the model's movement, mostly noticeable at speeds of >60m/s. 3D ship selection and weapon selection models are pitch black. These two bugs might be specific to my local install, however.

"Glowpoints seem to duplicate " - I confirm this one bug. And thruster glow duplicates as well
Offset of duplicate position is determined by speed of craft. Nightly builds (10280) are not affected.



As for " 3D ship selection and weapon selection models are pitch black" , my guess it is AMD GPU driver bug - for me downgrade to Catalyst 13.1 helped to solve this. However nightly builds (10280) are affected too.
I have radeon 7950 if it matters.

I know about this. I haven't been able to find a solution for it yet.

Do you mean glowpoints or 3d models in selection? Or both?

[The E]

Yes.

[X3N0-Life-Form]

I'd wager he means both
IIRC, both issues have been reported a while ago.

[Familiar]

Yes.

  Damn, you're good!
O'k now I can sleep peacefully, knowing the very best people of HLP are trying to pin down those nasty bugs.
Godspeed gentlemen!

[crizza]

I feel so incredible embarassed-.-
After almost a year without FS I reistalled everything but I'm simply to stupied. Excuse me in advance.

You haven't installed BP properly. Your mod commandline reads "FreeSpace2/blueplanet2,blueplanet,mediavps_3612", remove the mention of FreeSpace2 there. In addition, you are lacking the 3.6.12 MediaVPs.

Don't worry, happens to everyone. Installing stuff is too hard right now.

Check out your mod line. See how it's pointing at FreeSpace2/blueplanet2? That tells the game to look in FreeSpace2/FreeSpace2/blueplanet, which doesn't exist. It needs to just say blueplanet2, blueplanet, mediavps_3612.

You also don't seem to have any 3.6.12 mediavps installed. If so it's not finding them in /mediavps/3612.

[crizza]

OMG it hurts...
I thought the new MediaVPs replaced the old...my bad.
And Thank you two

The current BP build has problems with HUD parsing, at least with the messages gauge: The font, the message width, and perhaps other parameters cannot be changed from their defaults. This problem does not occur with the latest nightly or SVN builds with the BP patch applied, so it looks like a build update is in order.

[General Battuta]

We're moving back to trunk in our next update. If I send you our most recent HUD table can you let me know what fixes need to be merged in re: low resolutions and widescreen stuff?

[Yarn]

Yes.

[Lykurgos88]

We're moving back to trunk in our next update.

Could we please get one last "BP build" before your next big update? I would LOVE to have non-stretched menus in Blue Planet mod (non-stretched menus were added in trunk version 10545)

[Gee1337]

I've just finished my first ever run through of BP:AoA. Will be starting on WiH soon. I tried running The Blade Itself, but had no joy.

I think my BP installed is bodged and I'm downloading the complete executable installer now.

Would it be worth me removing the existing BluePanet folders before running the executable to avoid conflicts?

Sorry if it seems a bit of a daft question. :/

Edit:- NVM... think I just found my answer!
