Does it do the same thing in OpenGL? |

Yes. |

Beh. Ok this is something that I didn't figure on with one of my changes. This happened when I fixed the issue where it would try to load a thruster graphic if the word "thrust" wasn't lowercase. This was fixed by forcing the filename lowercase but now it's getting "-trans" as part of the texture name for the Vorlon transport and assuming that it's supposed to actually be transparent. There are two fixes for this, and I recommend both: 1) have the code check for "-trans" but skip if it also finds "-transp" 2) rename the textures for the Vorlon transport to not contain "-trans" The reason to recommend the second thing is because older builds can still get this wrong if the texture name referenced by the model is all lowercase. The current model just happens to work because of the, now fixed, bug in the code. I'll go ahead and fix the code issue, and have a debug warning about it as well, but it's something that TBP should fix on their end too. Trivial Psychic should be able to fix the model rather quickly. For future reference any texture name containing any of the follow have certain meaning in the game: "thuster", "invisible", "warpmap": texture won't load "-trans", "shockwave": texture will be transparent "-amb": texture will be ambient (have a glow if lighting is otherwise disabled) |

well I am happy I found then and was able to help narrow it down. |

This would have been a pain to track down if you didn't give a date on it so thanks for that. That particular change was made the previous night. :) |
