Title: need some advice from the pros
Post by: Warlock on April 23, 2001, 09:50:00 pm

Ok...Here's the prob

Athena MK II, I added the thruster flame meshes, glued an infinite light to each, then glued as sibling the thruster/light combo set (three flames) to the fighter hull. Painted the thrusters with the thruster01.avi, and named thruster01 (also tried 01a-c as a sperate opbejct per flame)

Now, I set the glow points through FSMM2, double checking with modelview to insure the points at in the correct spot.

Yet in game,..no thrusters.


Where'd I screw up?

Try using a different kind of light source  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

Try local light, I always used that.

I can't see any other problems there.

Nope Local light's no good either.

Course NOW I found a really weird bug.

After adding the weapons and all in FSMM and running the shields onto it I went to test it out.

At first I merely committed the mission, ..oops forget to get weapons,..call in the AI backups I set using the Athena MK II,..well they're weapons work fine. So I restart, and then I can't give my bomber ANY weapons. Click/drag a gun or missile to the right slot, but they never "load".


*bangs head on wall*

The Shroud and Mirage were NEVER this weird  lol


Another thing I notced, while in game the model seems to be the correct scale, the target view and Tech Room view are extreme close ups.
