Post by: fragers on June 05, 2005, 10:51:11 pm: wow that\'s odd

Maybe the game is corrupted somehow. Try updating first. If that doesn\'t help, then try reinstalling it (but first redownload it)

That\'s all i can help you with.

ps: I havn\'t played ps in a while so i don\'t know much ingame, sorry.

Blind shot: does uncommenting the line \"Video.OpenGL.UseExtension.GL_SGIS_generate_mipmap = false\" (remove the leading semicolon) from data/config/r3dopengl.cfg change anything?

If that\'s a blind shot, I would hate to have you shooting at me with your eyes open!
I uncommented the line, and I can see the labels perfectly now. :)

Um... this thing => [SIZE=10];[/SIZE]
It\'s to the left of the quotation mark, and to the right of the L...

In the config files for PS, a semicolon at the beggining of a line dissables it. The line in the file, mentioned above, should be turned on to fix your problem. (hopefully)
Title: not wat i meant
Post by: travus on June 06, 2005, 11:27:25 pm: thats not what i meant! Where is the \"line\"?????that has the semicolon i need to delete?

Post by: ikbent on June 06, 2005, 11:33:57 pm: Let me guess...
I think.... it may be the line saying:

;Video.OpenGL.UseExtension.GL_SGIS_generate_mipmap = false

And, errrrrm, you may just find it in

data/config/r3dopengl.cfg

But, of course, all of this is blind guessing.
Title: what is it?
Post by: travus on June 06, 2005, 11:54:35 pm: what is \"data/config/r3dopengl.cfg\"?

Post by: Drey on June 07, 2005, 12:10:24 am: maybe its a place in your PS folder....

i thought it was all explained in the solution post

Of course you have a PS folder. You are familiar with the ways installations work? If you are running Windows, it should be in My Computer -> Local Disk (C:) -> Program Files -> Planeshift Crystal Blue. Then you\'ll notice other folders within that one, one of which is named \"data.\" Inside that is the \"config\" folder, and there you will find the file named \"r3sopengl.cfg\". Right-click, open with Notepad, find the line of text you need to edit, make the necessary change, and save. That\'s it!
