It seems that when I use any version newer than fs2_open_C06152004 (this version works fine though) I get severely distorted rendering using OpenGL. fs2_open_Bobboau_7-10-04 or fs2_open_C07102004b_inf for instance.  It's even worse ingame (shot in next post).
Resolution or what features are enabled makes no difference.
Geforce2 MX400, XP SP1, Latest drivers and all that fun stuff... anything else I need to list?

It was even worse running Inferno. Everything was pink and purple and white.

Yeah, I've noticed the same thing.

Bobboau has said it only 20 times: Do not use OpenGL. Expect any of the SCP staffers to write the same.

The only reason I really evn bothered posting this is because GL shinemapping looks sooooo much better than D3D. D3D is ****ing hideous. It's like someone cranked the gamma.

Especially when you consider I don't have them anymore in d3d mode :p
Btw, have the exact same pb, wanted to post about it, but for some reason none of my screenshots were saved.
SCREW CANON!

I've tried to fix this already but the model only partially renders.  Don't know why but I haven't really had any time to play with it lately between the Linux version, the OSX version, the memory leak fixes that are in testing, the icculus.org version, the icculus.org OSX version, the upcoming (but not soon) Knoppix version, the AMD64 version, ...

It may take phreak to fix whatever I've done to it but I'll try to have something by the end of the week.

No the knoppix version will be a CD/DVD only version of fs2_open.  This way you get Linux on a CD that has the game ready to play and you just pop it in the computer that happens to be in front of you and have fun.  This is good for just showing off the game, LAN parties, friends house or anytime else that you may not otherwise be able to do a full install.

Thron: I've noticed the same, but in fact, seems the default value for the D3D shinemap has been mistyped or something ( or in fact, iirc, the scale is different), it's way too high, but you can lower it by replacing the value yourself.
SCREW CANON!

you guys didn't hear we were planning this?

d3d multiplys the specular color by four, makeing it look more metalick and harsher, but you lose a lot of controle this way
