Title: HT&L Levy problem
Post by: Ghost on March 06, 2005, 07:49:52 pm

Yeah, yeah, post it on Mantis, I know... I've tried Mantis before with a different bug, and it took like 2 weeks for a response. And yes, I already searched the forums for it... anyway, on to the problem. Using the mv_models vp file, I get the highpoly Fenris, Herc, etc... the problem is, when there's a mission (and in the tech room) with a Leviathan, it looks like a Fenris. Fenris maps, with the red instead of blue, and the Fenris metal... Is there some way I could download the Levy manually? And I've tried extracting the files for the Levy, but it still shows up as a Fenris.

The only time I've seen the blue glowmaps show up is when the model is the old version of the Fenris/Levy, with the blueness overlaid on the red... I have no clue why this is happening; all I have running is FS2_open 3.6.5.

Tis not a bug.

You need to have a pof file with the levy maps assigned instead of the fenris maps. Get it from Lightspeed's latest pack. Also you'll need new tables to point to the Levy as a different mesh than the fenris.

Well, I extracted the cruiser1x pof file into models, and the levy maps into the maps folder from the vp file... Pardon my ignorance, but where  can I get 'Lightspeed's latest pack' and the new tables?

If you know how to extract and edit tables, all you need to do is add the "x" to the filename of the model referenced in the Leviathan ships table entry.

Yeah, the tables are your problem.

It all goes back to me, really, I did the blue Levy maps for the Port way back when, and I altered the table to reference the new model instead of the old one.

Sorry, but.. I'm still lost. I know what tables are, but I have no clue where this particular one is, or how to edit them.

Try this one for now.
Put it in data/tables


Then, later on, when you DL the map pack from Lightspeed, replace mine with the one in his zip file.
