Summary0002039: Motion debris in nebula using the non-nebular graphic
DescriptionSometimes in nebula missions the motion debris that appears looks like the kind normally used in non-nebular missions (i.e. small pieces of rock/asteroid/dust).
Additional InformationNormally, motion debris in nebulas uses a different animation from the one used in space. In retail, it was gas.ani, but it may be some mediavps .eff file.

The issue does not occur consistently.

I have not seen (but cannot rule out the possibility of) this happening the other way around (i.e. gas animation in open space missions).

Have not seen anything mission wise or in the MediaVPs that indicates anything causing this change, but in the interests of not just arbitrarily ruling them out, I'll look into determining if this is a code or content issue.

This is actually a mediavp issue of a sorts.

nebula debris vclips are defined separately from standard. So when the standard debris01-04.ani files were updated, since the neb01-64.ani file did not exist, it used the standard motion debris ANI's instead.

The only code change I could recommend would be (in starfield.cpp) changing the 4 counts of "Neb01-64" to being "ndebris_01" "ndebris_02" "ndebris_03" "ndebris_04"
