Except I knew about the non-glowmapped textures and changed them too. Most obvious examples of ships with non-glowmapped textures are rakshasa, rahu and belial.

If you're using 3.6.10 mediavps, you need to make sure these vps are in the same (or higher priority) directory:

  • custom_shivans_htl_ravana
  • custom_shivans_<colour>

from the 3.6.10 recolour pack.

If you also want the animated glowmaps, you will need these in addition:

  • custom_shivans_animated_eff
  • custom_shivans_animated_<colour>

from the 3.6.10 animated recolour pack.

This, if any, is a good moment to say QFT. For those who don't know, QFT is an abbreviation of Quantitative Feedback Theory.

Are you sure that you have been able to keep a track on which vp was part of which MediaVPs set? And I don't suppose emptying any data\cache folders could do any harm.

I don't think you should have the advanced effects if you haven't downloaded the animated glow-map recolour.

Yes...I installed the game not to long ago because I'm using a laptop I bought...so I didn't touch anything...the MediaVPs that came with it are the 3.6.8 Zeta, I added 3.6.10 Beta...

So by "adding" you hopefully mean that you've moved all the vps away from the mediavps folder before placing the 3.6.10 MediaVPs in?

the shivan recolors in dds format.
NOTE: if you do not have the 3.610 Mediavps, you will still need the original to get the LODs to work.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7EYTYWW7

megaupload 'cus freespacemods ain't working.

 
Which dds format? Were you able to figure out how to change the colours without lossy compression or ending up with large filesizes? Something like that would be handy to know, since I never actually learned this stuff. PCX was last resort for me. :(

I'm stumped. Can you give me a complete list of files in your mediavps directory then? What about modified date on your exe?

You can do weapons and thruster glows if you want. I can give you all the stuff I used so you can release packs with future mediavp versions too.

The instructions said to remove ALL older .vp files and place the 3.6.10 .vps in the folder, I did just that, so a list really wouldn't be necessary, since there's five files.

 
And the list of colour pack files you added? What about your exe? I'm trying to reproduce this so I can help you fix it.

For the 3.6.10 vps, the blue Shivans pack for 3.6.10 and blue Shivan glowmaps for 3.6.10.
Does the exe really need to be mentioned, I installed the game not a long time ago so it's not modified...unless I need a build other than 20071007T but I can't find any builds for 3.6.10.

 
There's the 20071028T build available here: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,50258.0.html

I wasn't able to reproduce the problem with the build you have.

The contents of the 3.6.10 mediavps directory with the blue pack installed (adv effects):


The contents of the 3.6.8 zeta mediavps directory with the blue pack installed:


I don't know what else to tell you. Anybody else able to shed light on the problem?
