render window...

matts05 · Post by **matts05** » Sun Apr 30, 2006 3:43 am

Hello,

I am trying to work on a showcase plugin, but my render window is displaying nothing.

I do not know what the problem is. When I load a cell, it acts as if there are items in it because when I roll the mouse over it, I can double click items to bring up their information. But, there is not visual of the item in the window itself. I have tried both interior and exterior cells and neither work. I have also tried the center on item and the "top-view", but still nothing.

In case it matters, I have loaded Morrowind.esm, Bloodmoon.esm, Tribunal.esm, TR_EoT.esm, and TR_OOT_Main.esm. Again if it matters, I downloaded all three of the downloads available in the "Downloads" section of the TR website (sorry for using the word "download so much...), and when I unzipped the .tar.gz file, it asked me if I wanted to replace a plugin file, so I clicked yes.

I don't know what the problem is, but it is haulting me from working and is very annoying; help is appreciated.

Thank you.

Did you install bloodmoon before tribunal? I'm not sure what the error could be here, but doing that has caused a myriad of other problems. In any case, I suggest uninstalling and reinstalling, which is a hassle.

I'm pretty sure I installed Tribunal first, but just in case I'll re-install it.

You probably did. Installing them in the wrong order usually just makes the CS crash. Make sure you uninstall everything if you're going to uninstall.

Wait... so which one am I supposed to install first?

Tribunal.

Okay, I'll do that. But just in case I'm not back after I reinstall it, what should I do if the problem is not fixed?

I honestly don't know. I've never heard of such an error.

Okay, I thought that the reason why it wasn't working was because the computer I was on. So, I switched computers. I know that the game on the computer was installed in the right order. So, I tried it, and it didn't work. The problem is somewhere in the TR plugin, because just a couple of hours ago, before I installed the plugins, the CS was working just fine. Now, I am having the same problems as with the other computer.

Was I not supposed to unzip the .tar.gz file that I downloaded or something?

Edit: The problem occured somewhere after I loaded the TR master plugins in the CS. After I downloaded the plugins, I went to the CS. As usual, with nothing loaded, all I saw was "Wilderness". I could see the textures in the render window. When I loaded the master files with the TR plugins, my render window didn't work anymore. I reopened the CS without loading anything ta all and the render window didn't work anymore.

Where did you unpack it to? I haven't downloaded OoT recently, but if it has a Data Files folder as the first folder, you should've unpacked it to Morrowind. If it just has the Meshes, Textures, etc. folders, you should've unpacked it to Morrowind\Data Files

I've had this problem many times before, however I've yet to pinpoint the cause. I know a way to fix it but it doesn't always work, so try this.

First: Open up the File menu and select Preferances.

Next: select Renderer Settings.

Finnaly: Disable Mipmaps, and change the resolution to be the same your computer is set at.

I have a problem with my render-window, as well. It's been working for half a year when suddenly yesterday it stopped. Tried yer fix Saibot, and basicly everything I could come up with without reinstalling everything...

I went to Preferences/Renderer Settings, turned Mipmaps off, but it would not let me change my resolution. After I would select 1024x768x32, I would click okay and then it would be reset. The render window still does not work. Do you think it might have to do with a file in the OoT plugin?

Please... I need help with this. I can't mod with it not working. Does someone know why it won't let me change the render window resolutions?

Excellent news mate! I can't wait to see what you make.

Also, so that someone doesn't jump and go "OMG they don't like it when you doublepost," an unspecified group of members is annoyed when you post multiple times in a row, there is an edit feature so you can add it to your post, and they will attack you viciously if no one warns you.

However, posts such as your last one should be posted seperately because they are updates of information that many people wouldn't have read because they already read the thread.

Okay, I'll remember that. Thank you!
