I ran into a minor problem with this nightly.  I was playing the campaign "Incursion-Return To Sol" and during a mission, Shivan Rakshasha cruisers and a Vasudan Sobek corvette were virtually all black (though the cruisers had some small parts that glowed red).  I switched back to the October 22 nightly and the ships went back to their normal color.

I ran into a similar problem when testing the Nov. 19th build.  I found that all builds up until the Oct. 31st have this issue.   You can see my observations listed in the Nov. 19th build thread.

I looked in the forum list and I don't see an October 31 nightly.  In the forum list, the last October one is October 22, then it goes to November 18.

All Nightly builds since late April can be found HERE.  Some builds found at that link aren't announced on the forums.

Yeah, there were some issues after the server move with getting the nightly script to post correctly, but plenty of builds still got built in the meantime.

<MageKing17> God damn, I do not understand how this is breaking.

This was most likely caused by my uniform buffer changes but so far I cannot reproduce this bug. A debug log would probably help but it would be even better if I could have a test mission that specifically reproduces this bug. Pointing me to a mod and mission with this bug would also be a big help.

I noticed this with Shivan cargo while working with "Playing Judas" for my FSPort Augmented program.

Is that mission part of the released mod? I cannot find it in the mission list of the Augmented campaign.

I'm working on chapter 2 right now.  Only Chapter 1 has been releases so far, but "Playing Judas" is part of the original FS1 campaign.

I cannot reproduce your issue. I looked at all Shivan cargo containers and they all looked fine. The attached screenshot shows how they appear for me.

Re: Nightly: 24 November 2017 - Revision ea0c4b7
Very strange.  I'll check out a few things on my end, but even if its something that I've done here, I'm not sure why the Oct 31st build would be fine but all builds since show black.

[EDIT]
OK, I'm at fault.  When I modified the docking paths for the two shivan cargo units, I must have copied the models out of the Port, rather than the main Media VPs, and so they were still using the original a & b textures, rather than the newer ones with glow and spec maps.  I'm still puzzled as to why previous builds didn't catch it though.  Did someone tighten the tolerance for texture naming?

Oddly enough, this isn't the first time I've made this mistake with this mod.  I had made some changes to the Demon's field of fire for the multi-part turrets, but somehow wasn't using the new textures so there was no glow.

I again apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.

Re: Nightly: 24 November 2017 - Revision ea0c4b7
Could you upload the model somewhere so I can take a look at it? I'm also confused why the earlier builds didn't catch it. I don't remember any changes to how texture loading is done so maybe this is some kind of regression. I would at least like to add a warning if a texture could not be found to make it easier to find these issues.

Re: Nightly: 24 November 2017 - Revision ea0c4b7
All you have to do is extract the model from the original FS2 VPs and place it in the models folder.  It would then override the file in the media VPs.

In a related note, I've suddenly lost the glow for the jumpnode (again, using Port+Aug... haven't tried with FS2).  The jumpnode is visible in the mission, but it's just an un-illuminated wireframe.  You can only see it if its in front of something else.  I must have accidentally deleted the file or corrupted the mission file or something cause it WAS working with these new builds, and it continues to work with the Oct. 31st build and nothing since (Dec. 1st Build not tried yet).  I still have a few more tests to do, but does anyone know what would account for this?
