Two SCP Graphics Issues
on: January 14, 2007, 09:44:13 pm
When Using 3.6.9 new years build along with all the media VPs, including effects and adveffects (thanks Turey :) ), I run into two big problems.

1. I lose my backrounds. This can be fixed by either disabling jpg/tga textures or removing adveffects. disabling the textures makes parts of some ships invisible and I want my adveffects... So what else can i do?

2. There is a problem with the "damage fire" effect. This is when you shoot a ship once with primaries and youre supposed to see little white flames stream out of it. Instead, I see black boxes stream out of it. Here is a screenshot:

Are you using the 710 patches? (These are patches, not full VPs so keep the old as well)

710 patches should be included in the Installer.

I had do d/l them seperatley from Mars's link.

The good news is those 2 problems were fixed, the bad news is now the "glow" at the turret of all the shivan beams is nonexistant, leaving a line of beam coming out of the hull.

EDIT: Ive also lost engine glows for some terran capships.

A third issue, I also have a black square behind the purple shot of the Subach HL7.

Heres the screenshot:

they do when a mod folder needs them to run and you cant afford the disk space to put a set in every single mod folder.


(and yes i know you can use 2 mod folders but thats new fangled)

In the custom flags feature of the launcher, you can use the multiple mod feature for campaigns that require the mediaVPs.

It's over 2 years old. In fact it's only a bit younger than the rest of the mod system.

My attitude with people keeping mods in the main folder despite advice has always simply been that I don't give a stuff about their problems until they put the files where they should have been in the first place.

I admit that I've been having the same problems, no engine glows on a few capships and the black boxes around the subach HL7 shots???? and I have my mediavps in a seperate folder and use multimod (Altered Mod.ini's) I have all the media vps including the Adveffects and the 710 patches. Anyone know what's going on here? I was just going to wait for the 3.6.9 mediavps to see if that fixed the problem, but I'm just playing through Transcend for the first time and this is distracting me.

Black boxes around Subach shots usually means that, while you have the patches, your base mediaVPs are the 3.6.7 version instead of the newer 3.6.8 Zeta version found here: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,39905.0.html. If that's the case for you, there's your fix.

Hmmm, nope. That's were I picked up the mediavps zpack and the 710patches all together. I've even tried re-installing them all. Any other ideas? (Launcher 5.5a, FS Open 3.6.9 Final, 1.7Ghz chip, 128mb DDR2 Graphics Card, 512mb Ram) ????? :confused:

It's an Mobile Intel(R) 915GM/GMS, 910GML Express chipset family. It's an laptop computer, but it's supposed to have 128mb graphics memory. Everything else works fine, I even get only a slight stuttering slowdown with the advanced shockwaves. It's just this slight fault with engine glows on some capital ships and the Subach HL7 shots. :confused:

I have an Athlon X2 Dual Core 4200+, A (single) Geforce 7900, and 2 gigs of ram.
Nice to see someone else is having the same problem Wobble  :)
Yeah, the problem persists even when i try the things Wobble mentioned.
And I just started Transcend last night  :p
Particularly annoying because there are so many
Spoiler:
subachs and terran capship engine glows.

Wobble, are you having the same problem with the Shivan beam turret glow not appearing?
