Title: Weird texture issue.
Post by: Stormkeeper on December 23, 2008, 07:03:21 am

I made four nameplates for an Orion Phase 2, retextured with Jadehawk's help to use Deimos textures. Three were named, one was not. All were in .pcx. Strangely enough the one nameplate with no name didn't appear in FRED, no matter what I did. Until I changed it into a .tga file, then it appeared in FRED. But the other 3 named nameplates appeared in FRED, it was only the one unnamed nameplate that didn't appear.

Is this like ... normal?

sometimes fred gets dizzy and doesn't show the proper new nameplate, this is solved by opening the mission again and checking if it's showing.

It didn't work. Later, I discovered all the nameplates didn't appear in-game, so I swapped them all for targas.
