I put in my new 6-species species_defs.tbl in and the custom flyby sounds for all 6 races, but FS2_Open gave me a parsing error in icons.tbl. So I did the quick and dirty solution of adding three duplicate entries for each icon type. It still gave me an error. Could you look over it and see what is wrong with it?

By the way, has there been any progress towards a fix of the shinemapping for Radeon cards? Why did the last 3.5.x builds have working shinemapping but not any of the 3.6.x builds?

One more thing: Will there be an option in the future to make the perspective rendering stronger? Reducing the field of view helps, but a Dragon still doesn't look like the house-sized ship it actually is.

The problem is in the drivers not in FS2. Try 3.5.x now and you'd not see any spec mapping.

Anything after catalysts 4.4 doesn't work.

1. First of all, I had played FS2_Open in 3.5.5 and the shinemaps worked, and I installed 3.6 and they ceased to work.

2. Since I use Windows 98, the Catalyst drivers have different version numbers. My drivers, dating from October 2004, are numbered 4.11, I think.

3. Has any of the lighting code changed in the transition from 3.5.x to 3.6? The lighting code needs to be fixed because a lot of people use ATi cards. Also, OGL crashes on my computer. I would consider these lighting problems to be the most serious bug in FS2_Open and they should get top priority.

Yeah. Cause they are lots more serious than crashes that prevent people playing the game.

In case you hadn't noticed 4.11 comes after 4.4.

If you are getting FS2 to use shine maps in 3.5.x that is quite interesting though :D

I always thought it would come after 4.1 and before 4.2.

But has anyone taken a look at that icons.tbl file?

Also, do impact decals crash OpenGL? I've already diabled env mapping but that only changed the way it crashed.

Which drivers? Which card? Which build?

It would really help if those of us who can get things to work posted up system details.

It's pretty obvious if they do.
Though you could set the ambient_factor to 0 therefore only glow and spec mapping will cast any light.

Thanks for your reply, It was merely a supposition which was also stated elsewhere. I make no claims to know the inner working of ATI technologies driver development and release labelling system.

I couldn't get past the loading sequence with the debug build due to the fact that not all the capship weapons are tabled (any table errors crash the debug build). Has anyone found anything wrong with my icons.tbl?
