Sarca's skins, vp4.0, weirdness.

i just installed a few of sarca's skins (elf, rocketdisc, laserpulse, grenade trails, scout/turret trails all orange) and the gp5 dts replacements for blaster pulse and plasma.

now somehow this have given me GREEN trans nade trails, a GREEN disc trail that looks like the laserpulse and my elf looks like two trans balls with no lightning at all.

i can do screenshots but have nowhere to up them.
anyone ever seen this type thing happen?

edit: forgot to mention that my laserpulse looks really freaky, it rotates at the gun but fires as gren trans.

if he released it in a .vol, he might have included the weapon skins by accident (or not). use tribes tools or other to view contents.

did that, i extract all vols anyway. it all looked fine, in fact i have used this skin setup before with no probs.

this isn't really a prob, looks cool.

Upload screenies here: Cynic.ws/uploads

ok, here are the screenies.
Laser (http://www.cynic.ws/uploads/transLASER.jpg/)
Elf (http://www.cynic.ws/uploads/transELF.jpg/)
Disc (http://www.cynic.ws/uploads/transDISC.jpg/)
Nade (http://www.cynic.ws/uploads/transNADES.jpg/)

i looked over my files again and still have no clue what combo it is that's causing it.

that looks funky ;p

you should try playing like that... all the gun flashes spin. as the disc is traveling that green circle spins.

if i liked green i'd keep it this way. i might just learn to like green :p

Try updating your (i can almost guarantee) out of date drivers.

no, as i said before. i have used these exact skins in a prior(vp3.3 & stripped) install. all worked as expected.

as for the guarantee. well i reformatted less than a month ago and fully upgraded everything i have(not that a voodoo3 can be upgraded much).

it is highly possible that a dts from kos's stuff found its way in my skins folder. i dunno.

i am not complaining, i kinda like it. just thought it was odd enough to post. all other weapons are normal, only the ones i mentioned have this effect.

I know you're not complaining.
I'm just saying to simply re-install your drivers or upgrade them to see if that gets rid of it. (if thats what you want to do)

$pref::OpenGL::AlwaysRGBA = "False";
$pref::OpenGL::NoAddFade = "True";
$pref::OpenGL::NoPackedTe xtures = "True";
$pref::OpenGL::NoPaletted Textures = "true";
$pref::OpenGL::Use32BitTe x = "True";

change to these settings in ClientPrefs.cs

tried all that. reinstalled drivers and the changed that coding. same effect. later i'll copy all the skins to my other(stripped) install of tribes.

.....what the fuck..... :huh:

ok i copied all the skins to my stripped install of tribes and got the same effect. so now i am looking for a volunteer to dl the zip i made and test it out. just to see if its my comp or a repeatable thing on other comps.
Zip is here (http://www.cynic.ws/uploads/wtfs.zip/) if you wanna try it out.

havent used the skins yet on my clean install, but just by looking at the files i can pretty much guarntee you that it's the .DTS files.

way ahead of you there. deleted all of the .dts files and guess what. same effect.

now i have to go one by one deleting .bmp's to find what it is. i will most likely just reinstall and add skins one at a time.
