Glowpoint problem in HT&L
OK, I just noticed a bug with HT&L... it seems the glowpoints are being offset too much from the model's center.  Try out one of the [few] glowpointed ships out there and you'll see what I mean.



Those lights should be fluch with the hull, but they are not.  It works fine in non-HT&L so it's not the POF.

yes, the targetting brackets around targetted ships will also be misaligned if you turn right / left and the ship hardly is in your FOV anymore.

We're working on that right now. The projection matrix isn't getting set properly.

On closer observation, the glowpoints are wrong in the techroom but correct in game.  However, glowpoints are also visable through objects in game, so they still aren't quite right.

I was wondering how long it was going to take people to realize that I didn't fix glow points yet, if things don't get used they don't get suported, largly becase I won't have anything to test
I'll see about getting it fixed after I get everything else working

Yeah but why make a 40-frame+ custom glowmap animation, and apply an additional texture to one specific ship part (HT&L no-no) just to have a blinking navigation light.  They may be underused, but they're a good feature that needs to be preserved.

And Bobboau, I only noticed it because I have the only non-fighter ship to be glowpointed yet (as far as I know).  And it's pretty obvious when the running lights blink through a station. I have, however, finally gotten HT&L working, much to my satisfaction if the crash-to-desktop issues ever get resolved.
