no, actually... it runs as if the shinemaps aren't on at all, yet if i switch HT&L off, the shinemaps work:blah:

[Bobboau]

have you run a debug build?

[Turnsky]

[EDIT] the debug build works now, but the shinemaps still don't work..

[Bobboau]

look through the log and see if it was loading the shinemaps (search for -shine, see what it finds)

[Turnsky]

also..

latest  build


debug


just demonstrating the lack of shinemaps, and another problem i discovered along the way..


EDIT: looking for "Uploading 'fighter2V-01b-shine.pcx'" ?

[Bobboau]

no, just look for '-shine' it should say weather or not it's finding anything

The box thing around the planet will not be solved until DDS (with working alpha transparency for planets!) will be properly implemented.

The box only appears when the planet is defined after the nebulae in the background editor. Since it's put in first place in most [V] missions it's not that bad, actually, but i'm still eager to fix this when I get the chance. Alpha transparent TGAs are no option as they dont show up when I use  them as a planet background.

ah... i see..

there's still the problem with the shinemaps..
anybody who could replicate the problem would be nice..

[Taristin]

...did they every work?

Nice, you've got DDS on the roadmap. How's that going, anyway?

[Lightspeed]

not going anywhere. The game reverts to PCX if i try using DDS for planets.

[Taristin]

...eliminate the pcx's and try it.

[Lightspeed]

I will...

[Turnsky]

"my god, will he ever SHUT UP?!"

yeah, me, and the shinemaps problem again..

i realised a couple of things today..
one: the shinemaps ARE working, just for some unknown reason, i can't see them.. and two: the only way they do work, it's only in nebula missions and well... see for yourself..



freaky neh?

[Lightspeed]

Oh boy, this looks fried.

Someone should really have a go at that R9000 bug.
