So uh, what do I need to edit to make the Faustus not be so darn stealthy? I have the 20060116 CVS build, the 3.6.8 media VP's and every thing else seems to work pretty well. All I get for the science vessel is engine glows. Which is cool. But I keep ramming them when I'm escorting them.

is -jpgtga on in the launcher?

[bfobar]

Sure is. 

[ChronoReverse]

Do you have -img2dds (Compress non-compressed textures) on?  When I have it on, it made a lot of things transparent =(

[Cobra]

the -img2dds tag is broken until further notice. you'll just have to make do with the hanging until it's fixed.

[bfobar]

Odd. I have never used the -imgdds compression tag. Maybe I need a new faustus .pof file or new textures for it? I wish I could search the forums. I'm sure stuff like this has been answered before.

[bfobar]

I mantised it. Hopefully that wasn't stupid.

And you haven't done something silly like missing mv_textures or the like?

[bfobar]

not yet. I'm just now figuring out how to do get myself in trouble messing with those files.

[bfobar]

ok I fixed it. DNR.

[karajorma]

What was the problem in the end?

[bfobar]

dunno. I would guess that I corrupted the media vp with the faustus textures when i downloaded it the first time. I had the problem before I figured out how to get in there and muck around so I imagine it was an unzipping error or bad bit or something random and unrelated to freespace coding.
