It isn't just the Orff... its all of the ships with the model, although it still shows up fine in the radar box

1) try tinkering with -jpgtga

2) it's the GTC Fenris, not the GTF Fenris.

[Topgun]

what is your graphics card?

[Shining_Saber]

what is your graphics card?

ATI Radeon Xpress 1100.  I have -jpgtga on.  This is the only ship it does this to.

[jr2]

Hmm.  If nothing else works, re-install the latest graphics driver.

[Harbinger of DOOM]

Do you by any chance have -clipdist on?

[Shining_Saber]

Do you by any chance have -clipdist on?

no, but I tried that, and it made everything except for my hud and the stars invisible.  My targeting reticule showed nothing, my lasers werent appearing

Could it be a corrupt .pof?

[Shining_Saber]

Could it be a corrupt .pof?

I used the online installer, if I ran the installer again would it only replace the file if it was corrupted, or would it download the whole game again?

Should just re-download the piece, if you delete everything before:

Code: [Select]

NAME
.OGG Cutscenesin FreeSpace2/Installer/installedversions.txt

[karajorma]

Before we assume it's a corrupt .pof why not assume it's a corrupt .IBX?

I can't remember off hand which is the correct one for the Fenris but if you just go to Data\Cache and mediavps\Data\Cache and delete anything with the word cruiser in it you'll definitely get it.

Then just run the game and see what happens when it recreates them.

[Shining_Saber]

I did what that guy said, but the installer didnt re-download the VPSs, it just skipped them.
I just tried karajorma, it still recreated it as a messed up version.
edit: is there any way to only delete the one VP (I mean from the HDD)?  So then the installer would have to re-download it?

[Vasudan Admiral]

It looks to be the latest version of the fenris (cruiser01.pof incidentally), so it can't be that. The other weird thing is that it's chopped off specific polys rather than something you might get with a missing texture.
Is it always a hole in that particular shape, or does it shift around with every frame, every mission or every game start? Also, can you fly through the missing bits?

I can't fly through.  it gives a collision thingy and it starts flaming from there.  As far as I can tell, it stays right there.

[Black Wolf]

Well, if collisions are working, then surely the model must be more or less OK? I mean, FS must be able to see it in some fashion. Did you change video drivers recently? If so, try dropping back to the old versions you were using and see if that fixes it.

actually, I just updated it not a few days before I got FS2.  Something like dropping back wouldn't slow down my computer or anything, would it?  And how would I find the drivers, since I think ATI would only have the newest ones.  Thanks in advance

I dont kmnow if anyone noticed this but, dude, the Orf is disabled not the turret. Yes its true, teh turret is 14 %. But its saying the ship is disabled, no tthe turret..

thats not the problem.  Notice the giant missing part of the orff.
