Guest TRON Posted May 1, 2000 Posted May 1, 2000 I'm using XWA german version with int. patch 2.02 on a PII 400 with Voodoo 3 3000. In skirmish mode it happens very often that the dynamic light engine fails to load - this means that no light sources from stars etc. are reflected on the ships. It's just too DARK...This prob does not appear when playing campaign missions. Any ideas?
K_Kinnison Posted May 1, 2000 Posted May 1, 2000 Check the brightness level. ANd some of the SKMs laod up with a really lousy Local light source, like a Dark red. I usually have the Local light source on "some" and the brightness at about 1/3.
Guest TRON Posted May 1, 2000 Posted May 1, 2000 Thanks for your reply, K_Kinnison! Unfortunately this does not solve the problem: I start a mission for the first time and everything is o.k. Then I restart/reload the same mission with same brightness-setting etc. and suddenly the local light is completely gone (the source itself is still displayed, but has no effect on any texture (looks a lot like the original X-Wing ;-)) Anyway, thanks for your suggestions. TRON
Guest Fondas Posted May 2, 2000 Posted May 2, 2000 I'm afraid that I cannot help you with the Voodoo 3 3000 since I have never worked with one of those. This thread is transferred to the Tech Center Section, where some of the HW gurus might give you a hand...
Guest ViRGE Posted May 4, 2000 Posted May 4, 2000 Unfortunately, you won't find too much help here, it sounds like a rare engine bug, which can't be helped. But it's possible it could be a driver problem, so if you're using the newest betas, switch to the last supported drivers, and if you're using supported, switch to the newest betas. ------------------ ViRGE System Apex www.systemapex.com
