Howdy All:
With the ever increasing polycounts of models, the display limits of FRED OGL in non-HTL mode are beginning to be reached. Switching to HTL mode counters this, but brings up some additional problems. Among them is something I've so far only observed with TBP. When placing certain models on the grid, or loading/saving a mission containing them, FRED sends a message saying that there was a serious problem loading said model pof, then lists a number of normals that are capped to 0. Is this a problem with FRED, or a problem with the model?
For the benefit of the TBP team, I'm including which models result in this warning message. Note, that I'm running with the latest TBP 3.2 Beta.
Asimof Starliner, 18 normals capped to zero
Earth Force One, 18 normals capped to zero
Skylark, 12 normals capped to zero
Nova destroyer, 18 normals capped to zero
B5 station, 9 normals capped to zero
G.O.D. Sat, 15 normals capped to zero (note, this model results in FRED CTD after this message is OK'ed)
Raider carrier, 15 normals capped to zero
Raider Battlewagon, 36 normals capped to zero
Centauri Vorchan, 9 normals capped to zero
Drakh fighter, 6 normals capped to zero
Drakh raider, 6 normals capped to zero
Vorlon Fighter, 18 normals capped to zero
