My Models are gone!!
« on: July 23, 2005, 12:23:39 am »
I installed OP numerous times and not even on the initial SFC v2.5 install can I see any ships when I run a skirmish.

Anyone ever had this problem?

Obviously the game worked on this PC last year. Only big change is that I am using DirectX 9.0c

All my other games work, BTW. :/

YOu have multiple installs?

If you installed a new shiplist... does the shiplist point to the correct folders?

didn't think of this first, but did you install OP+ 4 first?

The problem is deeper than any shiplist modifications.  I cannot even see the stock models from a virgin install of Orion Pirates right off the CD.

This is too strange.  :banghead:

I had no problems reinstalling the whole game yesterday.

Reinstall
Patch to 2552
INI.exe
Directory server update
OP+4.0
Mission d/l
"Installer" d/l

... all works well.

I still stuck on the Re-Install step. Can't see my ship, can't see the enemy ships.  Video Card is fine cuz SWG works. I even set the color quality at 16 bit.

 I had the same thing happen because Norton started up when I was gaming. I got wire frames first then nothing. I had to manually delete all op files and do a freash reinstall, to get it to work right again.

 I don't know if this is any help ( sorry :)) But at least you know you are not the only one,and it has happened before.

I just figured it out. God, this game is old :O

We need to update the following thread:

http://www.dynaverse.net/forum/index.php/topic,163349163.0.html

to take care of this exception scenario.  If you cannot see your models, as shown in the screen shot above, then change the wireframe settings in sfc.ini to "1".

[3D]
wireframe=0

becomes

[3D]
wireframe=1

Et volia, the ISC have arrived:
