Title: Glow maps not showing up
Post by: Slasher on January 16, 2007, 01:41:21 pm

I'm pretty sure this is me doing something wrong rather than a bug.  I'm trying to get glowmaps to show up on a model in mission but it's not working.  Using texture replacement in FRED2, I can get the unlit "regular" map to display on a ship correctly but the corresponding glowmap is a no-show. 

I thought something might be wrong with the files/filenames themselves, so for curiousity's sake I renamed the texture maps in question to the default filenames for that model.  I looked at the ship in the techroom and it looks as it should, custom texture and custom glowmap texture and all.  Therefore I know the game can display these, so I must be doing something wrong in FRED2 or maybe naming the textures themselves wrong, right? 

I'm using the 3.6.9 builds of FS2 and FRED2.

Yeah, glow maps are enabled.  The character limit on filenames is no longer an issue, correct?

Out of curiosity... are you on a Mac? For the longest time, until today, glow maps would show up when viewing ships under the "Tech Specs" room, but in game, they weren't visible, or barely there. I've been away from FS2 for a while, and just installed WC Saga the other day, and noticed the same problem. Today, I accidentally fiddled with the brightness controls, and noticed that the interface didn't go back to the right color. Well, that didn't matter, because when I was in game, I could see  the glow maps! Everything was a blue tint instead of the normal yellow though, but everything looked gorgeous.

After some more thinking about it I'm pretty sure somebody else screwed up rather than me this time, so yeah, Mantis it is!
