Olay, that makes it look greyer... :)

If a man consults whether he is to fight, when he has the power in his own hands, it is certain that his opinion is against fighting.

Still grey with spec turned off.

Could perhaps giving it a shinemap help? (purewhite text on pureblack background)
(I can't test any of this myself just yet sorry)

Seems really weird so far. :\

Oh, it still looks to be a bit transparent in that last pic - if the alpha is 100% it should be opaque solid colour.

A shinemap would probably help.  I need to look in to this, but is it still darker than the hull like that?  Or just grey because of lighting?

I wouldn't rule out some form incompetence on my part.  :) Just in case, here are the two TGAs I made:

Looks right to me.  I compared it with a "white" texture under the same lighting conditions and it looked perfectly normal in OGL.  It also looks exactly like the default nameplates that I've been distributing with ships for a while now.  I didn't try it on a Fenris, I'll admit, but I can't see why that would act any different.

I'm wondering if this is some odd consequence of grey ship and white sun making things look strange.  I changed to a gold sun,  and it still looks greyish to me, though.

Eh, I'm just going to start cranking through these.

I'm not able to reproduce that effect under any circumstances actually :wtf:  What kind of card are you using?  And how are you running FSO?

I have a GT 6800; D3D
F:\Games\FS2\fs2_open_r.exe -spec -glow -pcx32 -jpgtga -2d_poof -cache_bitmaps -orbradar -ship_choice_3d -3dwarp -warp_flash -snd_preload -env  -ambient_factor 85 -fov 0.39 -allslev
Windows 2000.

Did you place that nameplate on a Fenris and see how it appears on your own system?

Yeah I did.  It's always lighter than the Fenris hull.  This could be environment mapping being wierd, but that's about the only thing I can think of at this point.

And for the record,
X800XT, OGL (prefered, I looked in D3D too)
C:\Games\FreeSpace2\fs2_open_r-20051024.exe -spec -glow -jpgtga -nomotiondebris -2d_poof -ship_choice_3d -3dwarp -snd_preload  -ambient_factor 85
Windows XP

I don't use PCX32, but that's not going to do that.  The only other thing that could be altering bitmap rendering at all is going to be -env, which you should try disabling.

Hmmm... is -env still using the technique where the alpha-map is defining the Environment mapping? If so, that could be causing a problem?

Actually that's -alpha_env, but that would cause the entire face (the invisible parts too) to reflect.  Plain old -env might be causing the name to reflect a blue-grey nebula back at some strange UV aspect though.

They seem to look okay in an actual mission.  I changed to OpenGL, so no env mapping anyway.  Opinions?

Okay, now I've got nameplates for all the ships in FS2 that have nameplates available (Fenris, Leviathan, Aeolus, Orion and Faustus classes).  There's one important issue yet remaining in this little project:



Anyone care to help me out with this one?? :)

If I had the source scene I'd be happy to cook one up.  Unfortunately, decompiling it with PCS, repositioning all of the pivots, and recompiling it just to get a couple of nameplates just isn't worth it.  You might PM Bob, and see if he can either cook one up real fast or release the scene (again, if he already has once).
