Summary0000643: A few ship models do not display properly while ingame
DescriptionUsing tbp with build 14122005, certain ships have some minor graphical problems. The olypus model is nearly totally invisble with only bits of it showing, The Minbari Sharlin has the bottom half missing, Star furies turn into wierd and winderfull colours eg. red, green yellow etc. The fuel tanker texture randomly changes into other textures. There may be more models which do the same but these are the ones which i tested last night.

Using TBP base 3.2

The DDS image loader no longer accepts non-power-of-2 textures since they were causing crashes, aren't well supported by many video cards/drivers, and don't allow mipmaps. TBP models affected by this include (but is not limited to): Sharlin, Firehawk, Tinashi, G.O.D Sat, Warlock, Olympus, 6 of the Starfury models, Nav Beacon. This is known to the TBP team and all of the problem textures either have been, or are in the process of being, fixed. Those updated files still are not public yet however. This is an issue with the textures which weren't properly created and the code which is now more strict about not allowing problem textures.

Some of the various starfury models have one or more missing textures because of this problem. It would likely cause strange results depending on the texture, color shifting being a possible problem depending on whether or not -spec is used. I'll look into this to make sure it's the same power-of-2 issue before writing it off as that however.
