Blackhole well

Is this with the well in plain FL, or with my version Gibbon?

I hadn’t noticed this effect with mine.

Did you make the texture in the 3db file two-sided?

Usually that’s a SUR problem… Maybe check whether the SUR is sized properly and its radius is large enough…

We’re talking the one in plain jane vanilla there ST. I’ve never bothered with using it before so thought i’d try it out and noticed its little habit which is annoying the crap out of me

@ FF

The blackhole well in FL doesn’t have a sur

Ok, well you can try MOON, PLANET or one of the other ones. I fixed tht same problem in my mod but Im not at home to see what I did.

I checked and I had set it to PLANET.

I tried that LS but i still get the texture flipping out. I think Startrader hinted at the problem of the texture needs to be visible on both sides of the model. (ST, you have a different version of it then ?) I’m no expert in this department so an explanation on how to achieve this would be appreciated by anyone qualified please

I don’t know if this will fix it, mine doesn’t have that problem but I can see in HardCMP that the original one appears in section as you turn it:-

Open the DATA\SOLAR\MISC\blackhole.3db file with UTF Editor.

Open the Material library node, open texhole_material.

Its type = Nebula.

Change it to NebulaTwo.

Save & try it out.

Well done ST, that is the fix alright. It’s solid now from all directions ;D
