Ok, i convert the Argo into a FS1 pof and rename the POF... it opens in Modelview, but fred gives me this... (followed by the table)
This whole problem involves FS1, not FS2... (i think)

Error: Couldn't open texture 'Tcov4B'

$Name: GTT Argo
$Short name: TTran
$Species: Terran
+Tech Description:
The GTT Argo has become the standard military transport vehicle for the Terran fleet. Argos sometimes carry new weapon and combat craft prototypes to and from testing grounds or to front-line deployment positions. Military VIPs occasionally commandeer Argos to travel from star system to star system in some semblance of comfort. Argos are most often used as assault transports, carrying squads of Marines through heavy flak to board enemy vessels that Command has decided to capture rather than destroy.

any help? Im pretty sure the texture is there...

[Hippo]

ok, i fixed the first bug, and edited the post for the second, and i fixed the second, so just ignore the thread... (unless i have another)

[Hippo]

ok, now im lost... same error, but the texture referenced is not used by the argo... (says modleview)

[FreeTerran]

Have you convert the texture to 8bit colors ? and in the pcx format ?

[TopAce]

Isn't the game seeking the texture in the fs2's vp in FS1's directory?
Is it in vp, or in the data/maps folder?
Just remembered ... FS1 has no data/maps. It must be in a vp, then.

Hasn't an FS2 texture to be 256-color? I have just seen it in IrfanView, and I realized that the textures of both FS games are 256-colors. How much is its size(pixels x pixels and megs?) Isn't it too big for FS1 to read?

[Hippo]

im usi argo pof, and the argo textues, s they're al pcx, i converted tha arg toFS1 with modelview, and put the textures in data/maps, as i have with all the mods, but fred and FS1 are looking for a texture that the argo doesn't use, and i don't think it exists... if someone has the texture from above, email me it to me at [email protected]

[FreeTerran]

Ups i have talk about FS2 sorry

So take another, working texture and rename it to Tcov what ever it was. Easy money.

Modelview is notorious for missing textures that the model does in fact use. If you opened the original FS2 model in PCS you'd probably see the texture on the list there.

Just do what DG said or get someone to send you the missing texture (I'd bet that it's from one of the later LODs anyway)

[Hippo]

npe.. i copy the files and such, like Tcov1A to Tcov1B and yet it is still confused...

[karajorma]

Well it's asking for TCov4B (which as I guessed is a texture used for the later LODS). Are you sure you have a file by that name in your data folder? Seriously double check now

If it then changes to ask for a different texture you've then got more of these textures that don't show up in Modelview. Give it all the textures it asks for and it should be happy.

Have you ever tried placing a ship from FS2 to 1?
