this also happens with the subspace models.

They dont jump around here, they just vanish as soon as something's targetted.

This is interesting. It appears that all Phreak's code does is assign the skybox model to the existing background POF code for displaying FS1-style nebulas. Which means that the actual Volition code somehow got screwed up between FS1 and FS2. Phreak, want to take a look?

whats going on is that the T&L matrices aren't setup when the skybox is drawn. The normal bitmaps and such don't use T&L so all the T&L setup code goes after when the stars are drawn.

a quick hack would be to set Cmdline_nohtl to 1 and then resore it to its original value when the stars are done drawing.

A more long term solution would be to rewrite the stars_draw function to make it use the T&L pipeline

I'd rather the long term solution than the quick hack.

I don't know if this is anything to do with the problem, but I've also noticed a strange 'lag' in the skybox response when I turn the ship, so I see the ship in view rotate as I move, and the skybox almost rubberbands behind it? I wish I could post pics, but they really would not show what I mean. I might be able to get a short AVI of the effect and Email to Phreak if needed.

 well in OpenGL, the matrices can't be set or the normal nebulas won't be drawn correctly

but if the t&l matrices aren't set the skybox doesn't show up

right now i have something like this going on to fix it until we can have stars use T&L

    //fugly hack. this will make the skybox render in HT&L
    //i want the stars_draw() function to get ported to HT&L quick
    int nohtl_save = Cmdline_nohtl;
    Cmdline_nohtl = 1;
    if ( Game_subspace_effect ) {
        stars_draw(0,0,0,1);
    } else {
        stars_draw(1,1,1,0);
    }
    Cmdline_nohtl = nohtl_save;

this is the final incarnation of said hack. ignore all the edits i've done :)

so is this bug resolved as far as 3.6 is concerned?

i wouldn't say so since its not fixed gracefully. i'll resolve/close this once the backgrounds are drawn correctly using HTL and not using that hack

is it resolved as far as releasing 3.6 is concerned since AFAIK stars are not going to be HTL drawn in 3.6?

It works from a gameplay standpoint and it won't hold up the release of 3.6. But don't "resolve" it lest we forget about it.

This should be properly fixed now. With Bob's index buffers the starfield bitmaps are rendered in HTL.
