missing panels of graphics
« on: October 24, 2006, 07:02:05 am »
outside the city walls in wide open areas i can see through the floor and little geenies jump out of the holes and hit people with hammers. well...there isnt geenies but there is holes. i cant fall through them. they just seem to be missing panels of graphics. they are in a pattern so its not just random missing panels. i have 2 pics here. tell me what u think is wrong.

Also, have you tried updating to your latest graphics drivers for your video card?

If you still see the black textures after installing the latest graphics driver for your video card, you should startup Planeshift with -relight in the shortcut.

Example:
F:\Development\planeshift\psclient.exe -relight

It'll take a fair amount of time to relight the map (okay, hours for big areas like Bronze Doors) but the map will be normal again.
Don't forget to take the -relight out again after relighting, because else it will keep relighting the maps.

Good luck :)

Please read ThomPhoenix's example. He does a great job showing to use the switch when starting psclient. You arent even in-game at that point.

Right-click on your PlaneShift shortcut, Click Properties, then type -relight at the very end of the Target Path, with a space in between that and the file path already there. Then use the shortcut to start PlaneShift.

Also note, the first answer on here was for electric-demon to post his system and video card specs. These are very important and shouldve been the first step taken. Unfortunately, he hasn't read/responded to any of the posts yet. There could be system-dependant issues that require us to see the specs.

Use the command "dxdiag" in windows and read http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=21401.0 for the report format. Thank you.

In the Windows "Run..." command, type dxdiag. In the window that comes up, click on the Display tab. There you will see what kind of card you have, and the driver version you are using.
