screen refresh bug

I dunno what happened I was arranging this ship for some screenies when this happened. all I could think of was to take a picture so I don't have the stdout or stderr

I'll have to flog my brain for that.

loooks like you somehow ended up so far out in space that when the game tried to center the background on the camera, it didn't get exactly the center--in fact it guessed so badly that the center was out of the camera altogether
can you try putting it closer to the origin of the systeM (autopilot to some planets)_

I've figured out how to reproduce the bug. go to enigma system and jump to the asteroid field. hit F6 and move around for a litttle bit the above should happen It might just be the product of the size of my ship like the planet texture bug though.

EDIT: it works just about anywhere in the system including inside the star

EDIT: I couldn't reproduce it unless my model had a glowmap

so the glowmap made a difference?

try making a copy of your model...
set the polygonoffset to be 3
then change the texture to be the glowmap
the blend="ONE ONE"

(this is all in the <Mesh tag)

then include both that and the other in the model...see if that works better than having the glow map explicitly...should d0 the same thing--but it helps to know
