Missing ship textures, or some other problem?
Hey everyone. I recently installed the 3.6.12 MediaVPs, and things have been going great except for one minor problem. A good majority of the Shivan ships aren't showing up correctly. I've read the FAQ, but I'm not sure exactly what this problem falls under. I've attached an example instead of fumbling through a description. Is this a missing texture, something else described in the FAQ, or something else? If the latter, what steps should I take to fix this problem?

I've also attached a log, just in case.

Re: Missing ship textures, or some other problem?
The ship looks like it's missing glowmaps, though I don't get why. I read something somewhere about glowmaps now being on by default, but you seem to be using 3.6.12, so maybe they're still off by default. Can you either try this with a newer build, or see if there's an "enable glowmaps" checkbox under the graphics menu of the features tab in the launcher?

We should be able to get this solved very quickly. If it's not what I think it is, someone more experienced will probably come along and figure it out straight away :P

[16:58] <battuta> it was long, we wanted to release something
[16:58] <battuta> it felt good to have a target to hit
[17:00] <RangerKarl> not sure if talking about strike mission, or jerking off

[17:00] <CommanderDJ> hahahahaha
[17:00] <battuta> hahahaha
[17:00] <RangerKarl> same thing really, if you think about it

Re: Missing ship textures, or some other problem?
Yes you are missing the -glow flag.

In the launcher, go to features and you should find glow maps under graphics.

Might I also suggest using 3.6.14 RC6 as it is pretty stable and the shenanigans of RC5 seem fixed.

Oh my, how silly of me. At least the problem was easily remedied.

Thanks for letting me know about the latest version. I just grabbed everything from the sticky and went with that.
