I noticed sometime ago when I was poking around Aland that the textures where missing from the Mafic. I thought it was just a simple error or maybe the model just wasn't done in the mod. But it has textures on the wiki and I was told by a couple users that it did have textures, so figured it was just a one-time problem that I was experiencing. I went and bought a Mafic recently. Sure enough, no textures.
So I'm assuming it is just glitched for me. Bad textures in my mod download maybe, or model. Suggestions? should I try to disable/re-enable the mod? delete the mod and try again? or is this a common problem with an easier fix, such as manually dumping the textures into the mod?
Is it invisible, or is it just pure white? If it's invisible, yeah, you have a texture problem. Otherwise, you probably just have your video settings turned down in FL.
i am having this same issue with cruiser basic missile turrets, its all just pure white, and the firefly texture is ultra mega low resolution, i have reinstalled discovery AND freelancer at least 4 times, and all my settings are maxed, if anyone could shed light on this it would be awesome
- disappearing model when the root ( center ) is offscreen
---> radius is bugged - that can quickly be fixed in an upcoming update .. post if that is the issue
- white model ( barebone / flatshaded )
---> the game cannot find the texture files. that can be due to renamed texture files, maybe upset or conflicting textures. it may be caused by applying 3rd party texture mods. - in other words - don t do it. the cause is usually a missing file - so freelancer simply cannot find the skinfile
- changing textures, wrong textures
---> naming conflict in the texture files. for example - when one ship uses the texture "liberty1_256" which the program identifies as "generic_hull" ... and another ship uses "kusari1_256" which the modeller also named "generic_hull" .. then those conflict and one might show as liberty or kusari depending on which "generic_hull" the program had loaded last.
- wrong mesh / false ship showing
---> same as the changing textures, but this time with model group nodes.
if the above happens, please write a bug report and it will be taken care of.
if you have a fresh installation of freelancer and a fresh installation of the latest discovery mod .. and you made sure that every old file associated with freelancer discovery was removed from the harddisc before the re-installation, the problem should not appear because it must be clientside - otherwise everyone had the same problem.
a cause might be
- missing files in the downloaded mod version
- if it only happens occasionally, freelancer might be bugged and fails to load textures, cause freelancer does that in realtime rather than shoving the textures into a temp file
- if you use any other program that changes the graphics ( custom hud, custom starspheres, custom HD textures etc. ) there might be conflicts
