Summary0000308: I am getting the breifing artwork as nebulas....
DescriptionOk, this is definately not right. When i try and play mission 3 of the main freespace 2 campaign I get

the breifing artwork as the nebulae. I dont know if this is a Media VP mistake or a coding though

because I have no way to tell. I have tried all of the following configurations and this still happens.

No command lines
All command lines (mentioned below)
OGL mode.

The only way I can prevent this error from occuring is to run it in D3D mode (ugh!!, i hate running in

d3d becuase OGL looks so much better!) I uploaded a screenshot of the error.
Additional InformationSystem Specs
Windows XP Professional
2.85 GHz AMD Athlon Xp 3200+

I am using Phreak's new 3.6.5 CVS build that was released only hours ago.

I am using the latest mediaVPs

try getting rid of d3dmipmap if you're running in opengl

It still does it if I remove that command line. Any other suggestions?

If I use OGL no command lines the same bug happens. Which MediaVPs do you suggest I try and remove first?

all of them and then add them back one at a time

Did it just start happening with this build? Is it always the same interface art or is it random?

Reminder sent to MatthewPapa

Could you please check if the bug is still occuring in later builds? If it is, please check if it is constantly the same briefing art, or random stuff?

Yes, yes this bug still happens in the newer builds. The mixed up artwork seems to be EXCLUSIVELY breifing interface art. I can tell you right off from my experimenting earlier that the bug seems to be cache related.

I will do some investigating later tonight and inform you guys of the results. Is there any recommended build you think I should use when checking into this problem?

Any of the latest builds seems like a good idea.

Assigning to Taylor since he's the OGL guy.

I've still be unable to reproduce this in any way, even partially. I don't think that anyone else has reported it before either. Don't really have a clue on where to start working on this. If you can get any more info, MatthewPapa, please let me know.

For a newer build try this one since I know exactly what code is in it: http://icculus.org/~taylor/fso/willrobinson/20050313-win32r.zip

Okay, a couple of issues here. The first 2 deal with other errors of your new build. ALL OF THESE ARE TESTED ONLY IN OGL.

1. First of all the build minimixzes for some reason randomly (80% of the time) upon entrance to a mission or loading screen. I cant seem to re-maximize the window after that for some reason or another. When I alt+tab back in it just re-minimizes it back again. Still happens with no media VP's and command lines. HIGHLY annoying as it makes it nearly impossible to test much less play. Maybe we should fix this first?

2. CTD upon logging on to PXO. This happens right before I enter the lobby. I have a feel these 2 bugs are related as they both happen in the transistion from one screen to another. Still happens with no media VP's and no command lines HIGHLY annoying as it makes it nearly impossible to test much less play.

3. Interface art still appears as nebula backgrounds, even with no command lines and no media VP's.

I have attached the errorlog, fslog and a second nebula-briefing art screenshot to this bug as minimize.rar . This is the error log after seeng nebulas and crashing.

Hope this helps.

EDIT: Cant seem to upload anything, I get an error message so I just uploaded it to GW http://www.game-warden.com/Minimize.rar

Seems like MatthewPapa is waiting for more builds to test, any progress on this bug?

I'm still at a loss as to why the briefing art is getting used. If it was the normal texture corruption then it would show up in more places. There are a couple of bugs hinding in there somewhere which are causing some graphics problems but I haven't found them yet. When I do I'll release a new build and hope that it's related to your problem as well.

@MatthewPapa, try with Goober's 04/23 build and see if there is any difference.

* BUMP *

Try a newer build and see if this still happens. I'm about OGL-fixed out so if it's not better now then you might be out of luck. I can't get this to ever happen and as far as I know it only happens to you. I don't really feel like it's drivers but upgrade and see if it makes a difference.

If 1) and 2) still happen, please report them as seperate bugs.

of all the weird stuff to happen, that is something I would not think to be posable...

Just going ahead and closing this. As far as I know not a single other person has been able to reproduce this and I can't find anything in the code which could allow this. If this gets reported by someone else then we can reopen but without a single place to start looking for a fix this bug would stay open forever.
