Weird Color Palette in version 127

May 29, 2010 Keller link
Star and engine burn textures are strange. Color pick palette in ship purchase tab is shades of pink to white only. All my other applications are fine, except VO. I have some screen shots if needed.

Thanks,

Keller

What kind of system? OS? Videocard? Driver version?
May 29, 2010 Keller link
OS X v 10.4.11 (PPC)

Graphics Card and Driver
Vendor: ATI Technologies Inc.
Renderer: ATI Radeon 9000 OpenGL Engine
Version: 1.3 ATI-1.4.18

Just weird, that's all. I'm slowly working my way through all other apps to see if any recent installations may have caused this, although I was on the test server a few days ago and didn't notice anything odd.

If you can post a screenshot, it'd be useful.

It just looks like the color palette changed for some textures. I get something similar when checking the ship purchase tab. (I'll post that one as soon as I get one)

Ah yeah. Thanks. I've noticed that on our mac too. It's only those textures though, which is odd. I was thinking it was a fluke but apparently not.

Is this color palette set internally, or there someplace I can access it externally?

I did rule out everything else eventually, and ended up doing a clean install of VO on my system with the same effect, so whatever happened seems to have happened during update 127.

OK, I found the problem to the blue rendering glitch. A patch will be out later today.
