Figures, this. When I finally get the model fixed (through external means) Ransom doesn't visit his own forum. :rolleyes:

last i hear of him we was changeing his campaign so it didn't use your ship.

He said he *may* do that if it wasn't fixed soon... and now it is. :p

If he did, then serves him right. :p

Duelron1001 · « **Reply #48 on:** May 05, 2005, 05:28:52 AM »

he said to me: next time you see me online I'll have a campaign done. That was before the ship got fixed, but also after you tryed. So I don't know what hes going to do, it's upto him; i'll be happy either way to play his campaign.

Yarr, I did switch it so it used a different ship, but now the Kelpie is back in and everything is as it should be.

BUT THE NEWS IS NOT ALL FLOWERS AND CANDY!

While 100% finished now there are some bugs with certain new sexps which kinda break it (they were working before..) so I'm going to have to withhold it until those are fixed. I get the feeling God does not want to see this campaign released as not only this, but earlier when I was just finished fixing the missions back with the Kelpie in them there was a blackout which lasted for a couple hours and when it came back all the files were corrupt. Hooray for .bak files.

Why not recommend usage with an older build that works properly? Not all of use use the latest build anyways, since there are so many bugs popping up all the bloody time.

Also, you should upload the campaign now, so that you don't lose the backups too.

I did try the older build which worked properly, and upon closer inspection the bug seems to have been there since the beginning. It's by some bizarre coincidence I didn't notice the bug until now. It looks like you're going to have to wait for it to get fixed.

Also I've already copied the campaign over to another comp which is not Windows and therefore logically will not explode at the worst possible moment.

since its when the sun is shining, can you possibly make a duplicate sun entry with the No Glare tag and use it for that mission?

Ransom Arceihn · « **Reply #53 on:** May 08, 2005, 11:41:08 PM »

I'm not sure that's the problem though, because it also happens when the sun's not even within your FOV. Just if your ship is pointing toward that 180 degrees of the background, or something. But I'll try that.

Ransom Arceihn · « **Reply #54 on:** May 09, 2005, 11:10:31 AM »

Uh, well now I just feel stupid. How do you give tags to a sun?

phreak · « **Reply #55 on:** May 09, 2005, 02:14:55 PM »

you need to make a new entry for the sun in stars.tbl. copy the needed sun entry and add $NoGlare: to the end

Code: [Select]


$Sun:		SunWhiteNG
$Sunglow:	Sunglow01
$SunRGBI:	1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0
$NoGlare:

oh boy...

Ransom Arceihn · « **Reply #57 on:** May 09, 2005, 03:20:40 PM »

Okay I've done that, but the new entry won't appear in FRED and if I manually put it into the mission there's simply no sun at all.

Cobra · « **Reply #58 on:** May 09, 2005, 03:24:13 PM »

you might have the wrong build.

phreak · « **Reply #59 on:** May 09, 2005, 11:05:48 PM »

RA: can you post the entry?
