I'm having a problem with a map I'm working on,with including new vehicles.For some reason when I export it as a .mix some of the vechiles textures come out as nothing but pure black BUT if I export it as a .pkg it works just fine.I'm having these on the tow humvee made by sgtmay,and another tank that I forget.Anyone have any idea why or how I can fix it:S?Rest of the vehicles work fine with the textures in .mix...just not those two.

Also having a problem with the HoverMRLS not letting me in on the .mix ,but will just fine on the .pkg.

Thanks in advanced:D.

It sounds like you don't have the correct files in the data folder, or it could be that the map has a problem with another map in the data folder.

w00t?

Usually when i get a black texture it means i forgot to save as a tga.

I would inject the mix with your textures folder.

Sometimes your always dat gets corrupted. If your putting maps, skins and otherthings in and out of your data folder your always.dat can slowly get corrupted. Textures start going black on certain maps, loading takes longer ect. Reinstalling Renegade should fix the plroblem.

Yeah, a PKG is a safe way to go, not much can go wrong with one. I would compare the inards of the two, see whats being different.

If two different .mix files include textures that have the same names, they can conflict and cause models to appear black. I see it happen a lot when I put together Renegade Alert internal alpha tests and forget to rename things. New vehicle textures that share names with old textures can cause vehicles to show up black in game.

Yea, and in this case someone messed with sgt. mays textures in city_flying _se....Happens on the advanced humvee if its on the data folder and in this case the gdi turret and hmrls....if its the exact same texture it doesnt usually happen its when its edited and named the same.

This has always been a problem with renegade....reading from other folders/.mix files....half the reason cheating was so easy...and probably still is.

I know the problem was solved already but, blaze....you should make sure its pointed out that this was what solved it...so people can use the search function and find the solution.
