I have no idea what's causing this...The shiphull set of textures I'm using for many of my ships is now behaving oddly.

shiphull2.pcx and shiphull2.dds (whiteish) seem to work fine..as well as shiphull4 (light blue)

shiphull3 and shiphull 5 (black and dark blue) are invisibe in the game. in modeview the pcs show up fine.
I checked the pcx files out - all are 512x512, all are 256 color, 8 bit files. All were made out of shiphull.pcx in the first place.

They were working normally before, and I havn't TOUCHED either the models or the textures (aside from adding the dds version).

Now I tried deleting the .ibx from the cash, removing all .pcx and leaving only dds and vice-versa, but nothing seems to work..

What happens if you replace shiphull3 with a copy of shiphull2?

That will at least narrow it down to texture file or model/mission.

[TrashMan]

still nothing...strangeness...I haven't TOUCHED the model (Archangel Mk2)

[karajorma]

Have you done any texture replacements on the ship? What happens if it's a new mission?

[Snail]

May be a one off... And 'oddity'

Have you tried a reboot?

[TrashMan]

Well in a "old" mission the ship appears wiht those textures missing.

I havn't tried in a new one..PCS and MView 32 don't seem to have a problem with the textures... FRED also has no problem with textures...

EDIT:
And given that I posted this problem 2 days ago, Yes I have re-started the computer.

[Snail]

Have you tried restarting your computer?

[TrashMan]

yes..I have tried playing with the various launcher flag - specula,r glowmaps, tga, jpg, everything - nothing seems to have any effect on the texture..

[Shade]

Try clearing out the cache directory (\data\cache).

[TrashMan]

Allready removed the aarcy.ibx (or whatever the file is)...Nope...This is getting redicolous...

[karajorma]

Run the debug build and then look at the log to see if the texture is mentioned.

[TrashMan]

Well I get a ton uf useless error on startup (ballistic primaries, cna't find half hte weapons like the Keyser..who the hell writes this debugger when it's bugged to hell itself!

hat I DO get in Tech room when I open up Arhchy:

Well that's interesting. Your image is apparently neither 16, 24 or 32 bit. So the engine is ignoring it. Double check the image.

[Wanderer]

Trashman.. NONE of those errors/warnings are useless. Each and every one of them is triggered by an error or outdated syntax (=modders error) that may cause missions to malfunction (missing weapons etc) or game to CTD. It should be any self-respecting modders responsibility to fix the issues.

[karajorma]

I've given up telling him that.

If he wants to put out a bug-ridden mod, let him.

[TrashMan]

Don't you think I havn't read the errors and looked htem up?

It tells me that ship havn't the ballistic capacticy set...which they do.. I tested them in game.

Then it tells me that the "ballistic primaries" flag is no longer needed...but if I remove it then it telsl me the ships arent enabled for primaries.

It tells me it can't find hte weapon named Synaptic or Keyser...and I'm playing mission with those weapons..

things is I don't know if it's an error or how to fix it..

[karajorma]

Then post the error and the relevant section of the table and we can try to fix it.

[Wanderer]

It tells me that ship havn't the ballistic capacticy set...which they do.. I tested them in game.

Ballistic capacity defaults to 1 if the proper values have been left out so the game warns the modder of this. Check if the ships in question have properly defined capacities

[Bobboau]

even when it finds an error it still tries to find some way to run, so if it ends up on an end user's machine it won't be a complete failure, but it's still not working the way it should.

now the missing weapons, is it making mention of a ship? it's well within posability that there is some extremely minor spelling error in a compatibility or default loadout. I know I've had to stare at a few of those my self. for example, spelling "Kayser" as "Keyser", you'd probly not even notice the second letter is an 'e' when it should be an 'a' even if you stared at it for a few minutes.
