Title: Invisible Ship Bug
Post by: Vengence on September 04, 2006, 04:19:51 pm

I have added a new ship but it is invisible in FS and FRED. I'm not sure whats causing the problem but I spent too long to let it just stay like this. What can cause a ship to be invisible AKA not rendered. However the ship was just fine in ModelViewer. I can provide the POF if it is needed.

What format are the textures in?

PCX files can be invisible if you didn't use 8-bit textures

JPG/TGA can be invisible if you didn't add the -jpgtga command line option to FRED and FS2_Open.

The very original texture was a bmp file. But I converted that to dds after I exported the model.

EDIT: It WAS the BMP texture. I deleted it and saved another one as JPG and DDS. It works now! Thanks, I had a feeling it was a texturee.
