Title: No shine maps (or environment maps or whatever makes ships reflect ****)
Post by: colecampbell666 on May 07, 2008, 07:38:00 pm: I don't get any shiny ships that reflect nebulae etc. They are all dull. I believe I lack env maps, or at least some launcher flag. My flags:

-mod mediavps -spec -glow -env -jpgtga -mipmap -missile_lighting -dualscanlines -targetinfo -orbradar -rearm_timer -ballistic_gauge -ship_choice_3d -3dwarp -warp_flash -fps -ambient_factor 0 -no_emissive_light -spec_exp 11 -spec_point .6 -spec_static .8 -spec_tube .4 -ogl_spec 80

3.6.10b VPs.

Try using the tag that uses shine maps as environment maps (although I'm not sure if that feature is depreciated or not).

Post by: colecampbell666 on May 08, 2008, 08:05:11 pm: It seems to happen only with FSPort, I'll check with other mods. You'll notice that this (http://i31.tinypic.com/10ztkjo.png) image has no problems, that's because the MediaVPs are the only mod selected.
