Title: When did the Faustus get turned green?
Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on July 30, 2004, 01:16:12 pm
This has been bothering me for some time, but I've onyl just though to ask.

The Faustus never used to be so brightly green, so why is it now?
Is it just that the shinemaps bring it out more?

Probably... There's nothing in the code that says

If ship class = Faustus
   Render green

:p

Are you using the Borg skins? Those turn the ship green.

Are you sure it's not in a green star mission?

I wasn't aware it WAS green. Do you have any screenshots? Could you tell us where it is happening?

I'll take a screenie. Haven't tried it in a mission yet, just the Tech Room.

I think it's just the shinemaps accentuating it.

Shinemapping works in the techroom? I thought it was not able to anymore for whatever reason.

I see this kind of thing all the time.  On my PC, the Faustus is gray.  On my friends it is green.  The problem is that something along the line is/was 16 bit, and is improperly converted to 8 or 32 bit, or vice versa.  In 16 bit, green has an extra bit-per-pixel, and things are always screwed up, and grayshades have a green appearance to them.  It usually is a video card rendering conflict, combined that you cannot have a shade of gray in 16 bit color.  I think the green looks cool, but whatever.  It's what you have to expect from the crap that 16 bit is.  Oh yeah, the shinemaps certainly do emphasize the "problem".

Faustus being green-ish is a part of GE's shinemap work. It is *supposed* to look like that. If it doesn't, your FS2 install is broken :p
