this is from 2 photon torpedo hits

also my nanoFX isnt working.... right, is this related?
it only does this with the stock ships ( and a few others )
and only a few other damage right.
i must have purposely shot up 3/4 of my installed fleet to see what does what.

plus those are NOT the damage textures i have installed.

For the NanoFX: Check your mutators.

For the weird patchy damaging: It's just a glitch that came with the KM Sovereign. I know I still have it.

ive checked the settings 3 times, i keep enabling explosion fx and it somehow keeps turning itself off.
NEVER had this problem.

would reinstalling NFX work?

Dalek · « **Reply #3 on:** June 28, 2009, 03:32:11 PM »

They probably keep turning off because the NFX mutator is off.

Maybe deleting the vox.nif files will fix the damage issues.

OK, so lets see what your problems are exactly;
1) You are having odd model damage occur
2) Nano FX is not working right
3) Your damage textures are not what you thought they'd be.
Right?
ok, so
1) this first issue is casued by faulty _vox files, occasionally you should delete all the files ending in _Vox.nif. BC will generate new ones, which should look better.
2) How exactly is it not working?
3) NanoFX does not use the stock damage textures, I think those are the stock ones, I might be mistaken though, as I haven't used the stock ones in a long time. most likely, this is connected to NanoFX not working, if those aren't the stock ones, I would guess that the textures you thought you installed didn't replace the correct ones.

I just turned my NanoFX off. Damage textures reverted to the old stock ones. Check your mutators to see if NanoFX is on.

Deleting the _vox.nif's never seems to work with the KM Sovereign.

1) will try to do
2) every time i go to the mutator settings for nanoFX and turn on "explosionFX", SOMEHOW, it turns itself off again, no matter how many times i restart.
3) yea those are the stock textures. tho ones i WERE installed looked like this:

i cant remember for the life of me remember what they were, but thats no biggie, ill find them again.

odd always worked for me when I had the issue....
deleting the Vox nif should solve it...

the KM sov is just the normal CG sov....

CyAn1d3 · « **Reply #9 on:** June 28, 2009, 03:56:59 PM »

They should still be in your install, but since NanoFX isn't working, it's just not using them.
About the mutator issue, are you trying to play the single player campaign? that will disable mutators, they only work in QB and MP.

CyAn1d3 · « **Reply #12 on:** June 28, 2009, 04:25:22 PM »

no, its in QB that im having this problem, single player crashes when i try to play it, so i use a seperate install to play the campaign.

ok again I ask how did you install BC and the mods...

Billz · « **Reply #14 on:** June 28, 2009, 04:57:00 PM »

Turn 'Bright Glow Bug Fix' off in the NanoFX2 settings. You may need 'Unified Main Menu' to do that. I am not 100% sure. That will stop ExplosionFX going off.

Nebula · « **Reply #15 on:** June 28, 2009, 05:03:32 PM »

Hold on I think everyone is confusing him...

ok lets set things straight....

I've been asking how you installed BC and what you installed in BC because the wrong combination of mods or install order can do a number of things to the install...

If you got KM 1.0 then all you need is a patched BC install. The Foundation and Nano FX 2.0 are already part of it...
If you were to install KM on an install that already has foundation on it or install Nano FX 2.0 after KM you will most likely cause issues such as this....

CyAn1d3 · « **Reply #16 on:** June 28, 2009, 05:15:32 PM »

regular bc install.
patched with 1.1
KBM install
Galaxy charts
Unified Main Menu
20 or 30 other ships
(in that EXACT order)
the last ship to be installed was the commander1's defiant/pathfinder,
and i had no problems at ALL with this install, it ran PERFECTLY for the whole time.
thats whats confusing the crap out of me, it just RANDOMLY did this.

i think im just going to reinstall nanoFX and the damage textures tonight and see what happens.

Nebula · « **Reply #17 on:** June 28, 2009, 05:20:31 PM »

UMM is already installed in KM 1.0....

there was also a fix that was needed for Nano FX to work with UMM and that was already part of KM as well...
installing UMM may have disrupted this.

CyAn1d3 · « **Reply #18 on:** June 28, 2009, 05:30:51 PM »

alrighty, ill fiddle around with the install, if worse comes to worse ill just re do the whole install, thanks guys

CyAn1d3 · « **Reply #19 on:** June 28, 2009, 09:26:17 PM »

FIGURED IT OUT.
and it was THE dumbest thing EVER.
turns out my laptop cant handle the specular highlights in BC,
so when i turned it on, it turned off nanoFX to save Vram (so im guessing)
so in turn turning off the Spec. Highlights allowed nanoFX to run again.
either that or the 2 conflict for some other reason.
SOOO now ive learned that lesson.
Derp.
