Invisible ships - MacAulay - 03-25-2009
Firstly I apologise if this has been covered elsewhere. Tried searching but search engine keeps hanging.
I have noticed that several ships in game appear to have missing textures. I can see the turrets and engine trails but not the body of the vessel. As an example, the container transport appears fine when I am flying it, but when I see another one in space it appears invisible. Other ships include, zoner cruiser and gunboats, several other transports and the cap ship.
Anyone have any idea whats causing this? I have reinstalled recently and this failed to solve the problem. And I have re-downloaded the mod.

i haven't had this problem. And since its obviously a texture problem you should contact Jinx
as he made most of the ships you're talking about. He might be able to help you.

Its an old FL glitch...So far as I'm aware, it can't be fixed.

I've seen this happening when your Detail (In performance options) is set too low. Whack it up to max and all the ships should magically appear in all their glory.
If it's already at max, I'm stumped I'm afraid.

its not. Read carefully. He's telling us that OTHERS are being invisible.
Everyone knows about the Train glitch, this is something new.
EDIT: Stoat is right, again...

Hmm well I will try that. Not sure my machine would like me for it though. If I posted my specs here I would be laughed off the forums :lol:

there are a few reasons why that can happen...
- conflicting .cmp ( mesh ) or .mat ( skin ) ... but i m fairly sure we got rid of any conflicts there during the closed beta
- low detail setting on either the FL engine ( your options ) or the hardware settings of your graphics card.
LoD ranges might make a ship disappear - you should set your graphics settings to max if possible - especially anisoptric filtering, tripple buffer, and mipmaps.
i have not experienced any disappearing ships yet - so i would currently think that the problem is on your side rather than the modfiles...

Thanks Jinx, I'll have a fiddle about...........then I'll see what I can do about the graphics :$

Something else I just noticed. Its only player ships that disappear. Npc ships of the same type are always rendered correctly
