Can't see through Cockpit Glass
on: August 25, 2009, 01:02:48 pm
Ever since I downloaded the new mediavps, I can't see through the cockpit glass. The glass ends up just reflecting the space background. I have not changed anything in my custom flags command line since the switch to the re-released mediavps.
Custom flag line: -ambient_factor 35 -no_emissive_light -ogl_spec 20 -spec_exp 15 -spec_point 1.2 -spec_static 1.5 -spec_tube 1.5

Any help would be great thanks.
If I agreed with you, we would both be wrong

I believe this is a known MediaVP issue.

Well it is kind of dark in there, maybe turn up the ingame brightness if nothing else works.

Wasn't this an issue specific to Radeon cards?

It's deliberate; the new cockpit glass is tinted.

I can't believe I have to do this.

Although I don't use "show ship," I'm glad I've still got the older release of the media VPs.  :p

DUDE. Unless you're trying to say the cockpit glass is opaque (which is not what you're saying), stop saying that. Galemp himself has said it's supposed to be tinted.

If it were opaque, then maybe there's a problem. But nobody has said anything like that, so it can only be assumed that it is not opaque.

Okay, what is this? A comment? An error report? A cry for help? A hidden love letter to glass?

Ok guys, I'll post some pics here to make it clear. Most of the ships have this cockpit's glass problem (at least with 4650, my 8600gt works fine without any problem) except the GTB URSA(the last pic).

I see said the blind man.

Are you running with the 3610_Patch.vp file in the MediaVPs dir? is -ENV in your command line along with -SPEC?

I used the old mediavp version 3.6.10 from Dec 2008(sorry about this but my internet bandwidth is extremely low upgrading at this time is impossible).
I've just download the Catalyst 9.12 and the problem is solved. Thanks everyone.
It also fix the Damage lightning or "flickering white triangles".
