Dynamic asteroids & debris

Ok, so I’m working on creating dynamic objects in asteroid fields and debris fields…I’m pretty succesfull so far BUT, the textures are missing on some of the debris bjects. As far as I know the mat address is good in the asteroidarch.ini. So far I’m working on liberty Detroit debris field. in here debris appear to be black and I don’t know why because the same type of debris appears ok in the Jersey debris field…only the jersey debris field is not dynamic yet.
Please help, I’m working on a mod to make all asteroid fields dynamic so that flying giant ships through asteroids will seem more realistic. I mean C’mon, a ship 5 times as big as an asteroid will not bounce of the rock, the rock will slowly bounce off of the ship’s way. I’m basically continuing the Destructible Universe 1.0 mod by Integer Man. All the asteroids and debris are destructable…to give a Star wars empire strikes back effect (remember the star destroyers through the asteroid field shooting rocks & stuff)

This is the debris section of dynamic asteroids from the asteroidarch.ini:

what am I doing wrong?

Actually scratch that, I fixed it

Ichanget those to 1,1,1 and everything is now visible…man this mod is gonna kick arse :))

Baaaah, I got another problem…. I made the field in new york dynamic but the minefield is toasted…I left that alone and untouched and when I get close to a mine to see if it explodes the game crashes…the only way to fix it is to make the mines dynamic asteroids, in which case they don’t autoamticaly explode when you get close to them…anyone got any ideas why it’s crashing?.. I think it’s related to the asteroid arch…but I have no idea what because the [AsteroidMines] section is not tampered with

☆Be careful ：All before asteroid “;” delet!!Don’t as you!

If I delete the " ; " comment sign then I will have non dynamic asteroids in the field, asteroids that will stop ships instead of bouncing of on impact. So by deleting that I would get an effect opposite to the one I want to acheive.

anyways, fixed the mine crash issue…something in the asteroid arch…didn’t find out what, I just added the custom dynamic asteroids to the original asteroidarch.
