Texture Weirdness....

May 17, 2006 Dark Knight link
Okay, I mentioned this in-game a week or two back, but I never got around to posting it in the Bugs forum.

Ever since the new UI went into production, I've had really weird texture issues. Every ship that was out at that point is lacking the vast majority of the texture map. Only certain areas (the cockpit [only on the ships with the shiny blue cockpit], and sometimes right around the engine area) have any color at all. One exception to this is the Atlas, where only the rear panel shows anything (but it shows it perfectly). Everything else (on all of these ships) is the generic gray of a 3d model.

Interestingly, none of the Hive ships seem to be affected. They're the same as they always were.

Also oddly, I don't have any of these issues with any of the new ships (namely, the Teradon, the Trident, the Raptor, the EC-89, and possibly the Heavy 'Moth). On all of those ships, the textures show up perfectly fine.

I'll try to get some pics loaded to my Photobucket sometime tonight. Will you need any other files? Also, should I try re-downloading the client?

Do you have a Rage128 video card on a mac?
If so, go into Options->Video and change Rage128 Hack to 'Yes'

Woot! It works! Thanks for the tip.

Also, sorry about the late response. I had some IRL stuff I needed to work out, and I forced myself to go cold turkey on the internet for a week and a half.
