Well, no mods, loaded everything up just fine. Looked at a few models in the tech room, then quit. Although it did say my ships and weapons tables were invalid, but A: I haven't touched them and B: they have nothing to do with OpenGL at all.

[colecampbell666]

One thing though, that error doesn't help much. Post the fs2_open.log from\data.

[MechMantis]

K.

I believe this is what you wanted?

[colecampbell666]

Corrupt VP? Run the FSO Installer and it will replace corrupt files.

[chief1983]

That or, you have some tables in your main fs2\data\tables folder.  You shouldn't really have much of anything in that data folder, especially tables.

[MechMantis]

Empty. But we should probably take further discussion of this rather interesting table-based crash to PMs, as it only happens using a debug build and it has nothing to do with the Media VPs.

Yeah, debug builds tend to crash. They are not meant for casual playing. They are meant for bug-hunting.

I know that but the bug we found has nothing to do with the original problem.

If a debug build crashes, then there is usually something wrong...

Yup.  The debug builds get a bad rep because they break when running mods that are broken, but work with the more forgiving regular builds, at least for the time being.  However, another bug fix or a small adjustment might change that, when if the mod had been done right, it wouldn't have been a problem.  Sadly the beta MVPs appear quite broken, and a newer set hasn't been released yet.  They'll work sometimes on a regular build, without too much trouble, but you can't be sure any issues are the build's fault when they do stop working.

[MechMantis]

I just thought of something.


Where are the shader VPs supposed to live? I've tried both in the root FS2 folder and in the mediavp folder. The problem could be that I'm putting the shaders in the wrong spot.

[chief1983]

You want them in the root folder, otherwise they'd only be loaded when you use the MediaVPs as a mod.  If it can't find the shaders it will disable GLSL I believe.

[MechMantis]

Then I have no clue what could be wrong. Neither of the trunk builds I've tried work (Yours and taylor's), with either shader VP in either location.

I'll try redownloading the MV_Assets.VP tonight, but the normal maps work on the old XT build so I have no clue what's wrong.

EDIT: I might have accidentally hit the "Notify" button, mistaking it for the "Modify" button. If that was the case, I am sorry, Mods. >.<

Error: Ravana Thruster Glows are offset from the rear of the vessel. Might want to fix that.

Moreover, my weponds go through some parts of the Ravana's hull. Maybe there is a mass (I don't know if that's the name of the word) offset as well.

If there is, is there anyway to repair it?

[Droid803]

Yes, there is a fix, see this link:

edit: sorry...someone (please) make it clear that there is a fixed pof...

[colecampbell666]

Dude, not everyone knows what causes these problems, or is as FS-savvy as some of us. Lighten up.

[Vasudan Admiral]

Oh hey I can modify anyones post in this forum. Added the ravana pof link to DaB's first post in this thread.

And yeah - Droid, please be more welcoming to the newbies. The search feature on HLP is not great, and they might not know exactly what they'd be looking for. Also this is still a beta release, so they're quite right to report errors they find here. Don't scare them off.

[Droid803]

Sorry. I snapped again. I'll go fix up that post.

[blowfish]

Oh hey ... it's that one on my site ... which I can't edit anymore since I switched ISPs

[Droid803]

Well, that's the one you pointed me to the first time
(also, then I guess the "Destiny" thing is stuck too?
