Title: Problems with newest SPC and media files
Post by: mr.WHO on December 10, 2005, 08:44:05 am

I have a SCP 3.5.7
today I downloded a newest media files pack (Zpack or something like that).
Then I downloaded Pach number two.

after that I run my FS2 and I have three weard things:

-Deimos model missing textures
- problems with terran laser turrets blobs,  terran turret blob is almost invisible, while terran huge turret is invisible. Shivan turrets looks normal
- AAA beams (at least GTVA beams) don't have power up glow.

After that I downloaded path number 3,  but it gives me a table error about terran huge turret.
I found in readme that path 3 don't work with 3.5.7 so I went to "recent builds" and picked "fs2_open_G-20050728"
but it gives me the same error.
Help.

Table and Deimos problem solved by downloading right build.

But I still have a problem with all terran turrets blobs  (now terran turret is completle invisible too) and AAA glows.

Edit: I have the same blob effect problem with Vasudan turrets... wait does Vasudan turrets should be in new  relases?

I had a FSPort mod before I installed new media files but I deleted all mod .vp and cleared the data folder.

Ummm. That build is actually OLDER than 3.6.7 if I remember correctly. Go to the CVS builds thread and try one of those.

Yeah, I noticed it too :)
but still can't solve that blob bug. As I said Shivan blobs are normal (visible) same with flaks but Terran and vasudan turrets (both normal and Huge) blobs are invisible.


Edit: I run FS in debuger and it sait that many files are missing/can't be opened, what is more interesting there is few bug entries with " terran huge turret .tga .pcx .ani   and same with few other missing weapons).

Maybe I should redownload those media file again?

I found a solution, I just had to switch on the jpg,tga textures flag.

Wow new laser turrets effect are wonderful.

I'm sorry that I didn't mention that sooner.  The Deimos windows (until the last media patch), the terran turret blobs, and the beam warm-up glows all were TGA graphics that won't display unless -jpgtga is set.  Hopefully this requirement will go away soon, but it's a common problem.
