Looks like you also fixed some smoothing issues.

Speaking of smoothing, would there be any chance of fixing that annoying deal with the sharp cutoff when a shinemap goes from polygon to polygon?

VA, I think there's a mapping error in Aeolus debris (third media VPs WIP edition). I upload an screenshot. Please check it and send the fixed version to DaBrain if needed.

(The mouse pointer is over the area without map).

  • Please, please, please, READ and UNDERSTAND the sticky threads in FreeSpace & FreeSpace Open Support board.
    A lot of people are willing to help you, but, as anyone can understand, seeing the very same "issues" repeated again and again can become quite depressing. Please, spend a bit of time trying to solve the issue by yourself.

  • Then, if you aren't still able to solve your issue, feel free to ask for help in that same board.
    FYI, most of the troubles are caused by wrong mod installations which lead to either missing data or undesired cross-effects between them. Always follow the mod installation instructions and keep a clean FS2 installation as explained in the sticky threads. Two additional links about how the game handles game data:

    Provide as much info as you can, and try to narrow it down. A lonely "FS2 doesn't work" is not a good report.

There is a map there - it's the debris texture. I think I know what's wrong. The map used on the Aeolus is "DocTile6A", but DaBrain's been going through all those old maps to get rid of the smaller versions and just leave the highest one (though removing the A from the end in both the files and all the pofs that use that map).

Easiest solution then is to just rename the texture the Aeolus POF is set to use from DocTile6A to DocTile6. :)

 :mad: :mad: My fault ...

I've already told DaBrain that DocTile6a was missing and I already knew that DaBrain is re-linking all textures in pofs to just one texture...

Forget about my previous post.

Sorry for my asking, ARSPR, but which build are you using to get debris enabled?

(note I haven't read much of this thread :nervous:)

They are WIP builds from Taylor. Ask him about them, (unless you know sir Will Robinson ;)), BUT BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL WITH THEM. As example, debug builds don't give any errors or warnings, they can have unexpected crashes and so on ...

I got to all your messages and I'm working on it.
On top of that, I found some other... 'visual' issues, I'd like to work on.

Anyway, I'll skip the 3.6.9 VPs and go for 3.6.10, cause it has a few new features I would like to use (otherwise I'd have to toss some of them content I've already worked on.)
Stuff like captial ship muzzle flashes is broken in 3.6.9 anyway, but will hopefully work again in 3.6.10.

Imho there still isn't enough new content to really justify a new VP set yet anyway.

How about the fact that IIRC, hip63 & ShivanSpS are both waiting on this new VP set (3.6.9) to release their next Installers?

3.6.10 is going to be released in a little over a month anyway, so I'm pretty sure that they would want to wait until then to make new installers anyway. :)
