EDIT: you didn't look hard enough  It was there, but it was all black.  The powers that be neglected to say that the color of the texture would be the color the wireframe was rendered in.  It's a bit brighter green than canon at the moment, but this should do the trick.  Again, download it from the first post.

You are right, I recoloured the map-file and now I can see it too, maybe I couldn't see the original because I'm colourblind (have troubles with some red- and green-tones).  

It's a little to big IMO. Would you mind, If I resize this Model for the usage in WC-Saga (75% would be a good match I guess).

BTW, ever tried a dark blue one ? I made it blue, and it doesn't look so bad either.

[Black Wolf]

Is anyone else getting this ingame?

Starman: A little big? Check Modelview - it's almost exactly the same size as the old node.

[Starman01]

I don't mind modelview or the original, IMO the object is too big for
our (WC-Saga)  usage, so I ask Stratcomm I he mind when I resize
it. After all it is his model.

But the model works fine for me, see here. Maybe your Zip-file is corrupted. Try re-downloading it again.

It must be something related to the graphics card, or OpenGL.
I can't complain, downloading this took two seconds.
[EDIT2] Only 80 polies? That is the best of all, at last somebody doesn't want to go above 21 million polygons!

The new node looks great.

[phreak]

BW whats your settings?

[Black Wolf]

I'm using fs2_open_C07202004.exe and -spec -glow -jpgtga -phreak -ship_choice_3d  -jpgtga -fov .39 -ambient_factor 85.

2 Ghz Athlon XP
736mb RAM
GF2 MX

I suspect the somewhat elderly FSO build may be to blame, but I'm not sure what I should upgrade to.

[phreak]

get taylor's newest build.  if you don't want the pilot file changes, then i can put a recent build in the recent builds forum

[Black Wolf]

Pilot files are fine. I'll grab the build and test.

[StratComm]

Yeah I have no idea what's causing that BW.  As for messing around with the size, please feel free.  It doesn't step on my toes any to have people messing with this, as it is based off of :V:'s model to begin with (and as a general rule of thumb, I don't care).  But thanks for asking.

[Black Wolf]

Bah - the Launcher refuses to even acknowledge Taylors build - nothing at all happens when I click run. I'll switch back to the older build and wait til I can find a working one - it's not a showstopping bug after all.

[karajorma]

Did you install the DLLs? I used to get that when I forgot them.

[Black Wolf]

Ah. That sorted the build, and the build sorted the node. Brilliant

BTW, call me retarded, but since when have we needed DLLs for new builds?

[karajorma]

Only Taylor's builds require them. Something to do with the way he compiles them no doubt

[Trivial Psychic]

AFAIK, the dlls are there for OGL support for tga and jpg.

[karajorma]

Rather strangely though if they aren't present the Launcher deletes the flags file. So they must be doing something else too.

[Mongoose]

Sorry to be stupid , but how exactly would one go about installing this new node?  I unzipped the model file to /models folder and the texture to /maps in my SCP folder, but I still see the older node.  What did I do wrong?

[StratComm]

that's correct, I don't know what could be causing it to not work.  You don't have a copy of the old node in your FS2 root, do you?

[Taristin]

Hey, Stratt... I don't know if you saw Goob's request, (Ok, I do know... but it sounds better this way)  but you think you could knock up an 'old' looking version for TVWP?
