Darn, damned, crap..... Grrr.. Ok, here's the deal. I'm presently designing this (i hope it will become) kickass MP level. :) I got almost all the room, coridors and other laid down. The lights are there. The textures are all aligned. The COGs (and god knows I don't understand jack about them :) are efficiently used (i hope). All it needs now is some spawn points, sounds and items, no big deal to add. BUT! (and damned this is a BIG 'but') I keep running into this weird problem....
When I do my texturizationing (check that word in the dictionnary please :) in JED everything looks fine. When I playtest my level in Mots with 3daccel on its fine. But when I turn it off.... Geez.. Some textures give me color problem. I figured that one out pretty easily even though I don't know why LEC didn't make their non-accelerated texturing engine thing work in 16bpp to avoid those cmp problems. That problem solved, another one remains...
FuNkY tExTuReS! Whoa? Hurm? Yep... When viewed from this or that particular angle the textures (in non-3d-acc mode) get funky and start dancing around on the screen. They do the twist as if Chuck Berry was playing on the radio. They get all messed up, disaligned and all.. I had this exact same problem on a previous (unrealeased and won't be relased..ever) level I did. I found that just re-stitching the texture solved the problem........that time.
Now the big bad two headed blue bearded three eyed four armed monster called Funky Texturer is back...and with a vengence. Some specific areas of the level keeps on doing the funky chicken. I stitched, restitched, rerestitched rerere--you get the idea- the texture a trizillion time and still can kill the aforementionned beast. ?!?! and i repeat : ?!?!... I tried to cleave the surface in all possible ways to see if it could have somehting to do with having more vertice on one side of the surface or something.
NAH! It just won't go away. Has anyone ever encountered that monster before? Any way to kill it?! Peeeelease?!
