VNAO F14 textures dont show up on model

[emperixx]

Hi all,

I have installed the mod VNAO which has the F14 and F18 aircraft. The textures however do not appear on the models. I am using FC v.1.12b and the latest modman which was used to install the VNAO mod. I installed the mod by checking AND unchecking the COPY TO CDDS FILES WHERE POSSIBLE option, and both install methods have failed to produce aircraft models with textures. What could be wrong?

Hello ! Are you using an Nvidia graphic card?

No, I am using the ATI 9600PRO Radeon.

I had a similar problem, but fixed it by extracting all files in bmp format and then paste them into temptextures folder

Looks like you have a graphics.cfg problem. Either you have an older version of ModMan that doesn't edit the graphics.cfg to install a custom .cdds file, it is set to read only, you are installing another mod that overwrites it(graphic tweak mods) or perhaps running a custom lockon.bat file that copies it with a back up. Either way open it up in notepad and scroll down, look for this area.

 

TextureCollections
{
   highFolder = ".\\Bazar\\TempTextures\\";
   common = ".\\Bazar\\World\\VNAOMedRes.cdds";

 

if common = ".\\Bazar\\World\\VNAOMedRes.cdds"; isn't listed, put it in there and then save the file. Should work after that. If it doesn't, check the bazar/world/ directory to ensure that VNAOMedRes.cdds is in fact installed there.

 

If you still have problems after that, let me know.
