Is there a reason the multi config file is in the models directory?

[redmenace]

let me know when we are ready to release so I can make the changes to the website.

I note you didn't add the Ares; what's wrong with it?  I know the glowpoints got knocked off of it (thanks Modelview ) but otherwise I thought it was stable.

EDIT: I checked some things on the Sobek and Ares and there's a new version up for both.  The Ares fix is minor (glowpoints) but the old Sobek potentially has issues with warp-in.

As I understand it, the shield mesh isn't working properly on the Ares, so I didn't add it. I didn't test it out ingame, though, so it could've been fixed without a post.

The shield mesh does work properly. It's the V original, and people are complaining that parts of the wings stick out.


But the V original mesh had the wings sticking out of the shield mesh. So this thing is as much like the stock version as possibly, while still having the upgraded detail.

[StratComm]

This makes so much more sense than what was in the "Ghost no more" thread.  I did alter the shield mesh volume, so that the wings would be encompassed.  I do not believe that it was 's intention to have them hanging out to dry like that.  But, that never should have kept it from going in to the VP, as Raa said, because the stock version was like that too.  But I think it's clarified at this point.

BUG ALERT! BUG ALERT!! i can't see the nebulas or suns or planets in FRED 3.6.5

[redmenace]

well that depends. Are you using the -mod command in fred? and where are your vps placed? Also I am not sure that FRED support 32bit graphics IIRC.

[Cobra]

uhhhhhh... i don't even know how to use the MOD command or anything else... i just use FRED_Open.

FIX ALERT!  FIX ALERT!  FRED is a lot more recent than 3.6.5.  You'll need -fredhtl and -jpgtga flags to make the background work though.

1) use the new fred in the recent builds forum
2) create a shortcut to the new fred build that you've downloaded and place it on the desktop
3) right click on the shortcut -> properties
4) add "-jpgtga" and "-fredhtl" to the end of the "Target:" edit box.

[Trivial Psychic]

Despite the slowdowns, I'd reccomend not using -fredhtl until the object rendering bug is fixed.

[Cobra]

SWEET! I can use FRED htl with no slowdowns!

hmm... nebulas and suns don't show up unless i'm in the background editor...

[StratComm]

You have to open the background editor for them to show up.  Minor bug in comparison to not being able to see them at all.

[Cobra]

bah.

[phreak]

that was fixed in my 3/24 build.  Goober has a new one as well

[Cobra]

nah, i'll just stick with with builds that have less bugs (as you progress, you find more bugs but fix even more. )

[Blitzerland]

Lightspeed's textures look awesome. I actually failed one of my own missions during debugging...because I was too busy gawking at a Nahema to do anything else.

Oh, and I'll have you know my custom title is now "Medusa," a major improvement from "Bakha." Had I gone outside instead of making this post, this wouldn't have happened.

Thank you for the textures and the title-upgrade, Lightspeed.

[Cobra]

yeah, they're so cool... "how'd they do that?" i asked myself the first time i saw 'em. they actually fit the shivan ships quite well.
