Strange (and irritating)

Mon Apr 12, 2004 11:18 am by pSYCHO

Im putting a ship into a mod, and everything seems to work properly, except its invisible, the strange thing is though, its not invisible all the time.

In the ship dealer's, its invisible in the main screen, but when you select it in the list of ships to buy, it shows up in the little blue window in the middle of the screen.

It could be a texture problem, but I don't know why it would do that.

Any suggestions?

lod range problem?
Set them to 0, 5000 (only need two values).

ok can you buy the ship?
if you cannot buy the ship... as in it crashes your game... then you need to rebuild your .mat
if you can buy it... and fly it... then it is either your LOD or it is the scale of your ship
try changing the LOD to 0, 5000 if you can see your ship lower it down to 0, 3000
if you still can't then you need to scale your ship up bigger...
in the top, side, or front view of ms3d zoom all the way out... litterally till you cannot zoom any-more...
then scale your ship slightly bigger than that for a light fighter, should only be able to see the center of the ship on a heavy or very heavy fighter or transport, and you should only be able to see a small portion of the ship on a capital class...

Well I've got the LOD ranges at 0,1000 and i know its not a scale problem, since it is visible in the buy ship window.

just a guess:
position of HpMount - could be the reason why u see it in the preview window but not in the shipdealer.
preview window is always centered on the model's origin - shipdealer is centered on HpMount.

isit visible in space?

I've got the same problem- I've converted an SR-71 and it does the same thing- visible in the buy screen and in space, but not in any of the dealer screens or the launch bays of stations

also, when you have your performance settings turned down, some custom ships don't show up in the docking area of bases, they also cut in and out during cut scenes and docking clips. Try turning up you settings to max and see if it shows up then.

this is what Antons radius tool is for. Try it, should fix the clipping when ships are not centered on the screen.
