Title: GTVBS Archangel Mk2 question
Post by: Molaris on October 08, 2011, 09:01:29 pm: I downloaded the files for this ship and put them where they belong. the problem is, the ship doesn't fully load. a good half of the model doesn't appear/is missing. I had similar issues with the Amaterasu and discovered that I needed to get the first version and copy new files over it's first ones. Tried that with the Archangel and it didn't work. the basic archangel appears just fine, but Mk 2 is the one having the problems (and I'd prefer Mk 2 cause it's more heavily armored/armed). any ideas?

This should be obvious, but post the debug log.

Can you post a screenshot of it? I can tell what textuires are missing that way.

Post by: Molaris on October 11, 2011, 12:06:31 pm: K, I'm doing gonna download it now. I'm assuming it's just "shiphull.dds". there are others like "shiphull2/3/4" so I'm just assuming it's shiphull.dds since that is the name of the file in the Archangel Folder.

Post by: Nyctaeus on October 11, 2011, 02:29:45 pm: I don't know which numbers Archangel is using. Place the others too, or open this model in PCS2/Modelview32 and check the textures.

Post by: LoneKnight on October 11, 2011, 10:30:55 pm: Shouldn't the errors themselves state which textures that are being referenced that are missing?

Post by: TrashMan on October 24, 2011, 03:43:37 am: Well? Did that fix the problem?
