Summary	0000520: Player vanishes on Default 2D Mission View
Description	Title pretty much explains the problem. When you first enter the mission, your fighter does not appear at all. Switching to any other view (Chase, Freelook) will make the fighter reappear. Switching back to the default view again does not make the player's ship reappear. This is with fs2_open_T-20050807.exe Pictures attached to show problem, and here's a link to the mission I was playing with when it happened. http://www.mts.net/~jmsrmr/narfin/fs2/axm_Funtastic.fs2

taylor 2005-08-24 02:42 administrator ~0003116	Making sure that Viewer_obj gets reset to NULL for VM_TOPDOWN in game_render_frame_setup() fixes this for me. I'd rather have WMCoolmon verify that though.

If it's already topdown, the problem may actually be in the ship_render function. Edit: Ahh, problem was pretty damn obvious. This: if(!(si->flags2 & SIF2_SHOW_SHIP_MODEL)) needs to be this: if(!(si->flags2 & SIF2_SHOW_SHIP_MODEL) && !(Viewer_mode & VM_TOPDOWN)) edited on: 08-24-05 01:44

WMCoolmon 2005-08-24 23:46 developer ~0003157	Before anyone goes bugging me :p I'll commit that fix as soon as I've gotten ships modular tables working properly.
