Title: Species bug
Post by: Woolie Wool on November 22, 2003, 06:03:28 pm

I fiddled around with Lightspeed's 32-bit effects and made thruster graphics for each of the six Starforce species species. Unfortunately, the trails for the fourth, fifth, and sixth species don't show up. Here's my species_defs table:

Also, the game ignores Lightspeed's shinemaps. They're installed, but FS2 doesn't see them and shows the ships without shinemaps. Could these two problems be related?

Are you running with the -t32 command line option?

Yes.

Are you running the latest build? (11/18/2003)

Title: Species bug
Post by: Woolie Wool on November 23, 2003, 03:21:04 am

Yep.

My parameters are: -htl -t32 -fov 0.45

my shinemaps are 8-bit, so if they are not displayed something's screwed up with your game / computer / settings :)

What GFX card do you use?

Are the shinemaps in the /maps folder? At least on my machine, they only work when they are  in the /Freespace2 main folder.

Has anyone figured out what the problem could be?

Title: Species bug
Post by: Kazan on November 27, 2003, 06:09:40 pm

not sure... possibly some hardcoded crapola in the v code [that then code copied] that should be replying on the True_NumSpecies internal variable (which is pulled directly from the $NumSpecies: tag)

i'll have to search the code when i get a chance

I got the shinemaps working; turned out that they weren't in the media VP.:p

The effects are certainly there though.

are you still having problems with the last few?

Was everything there that was listed in the readme? If not, what version were you using and what was missing?
