Hi,

I can suggest a couple of reasons for strange colours in OpenFlight models.

Firstly, check your models are being saved with the latest version 15.7
format and you're using the latest loaders, and not and older format. When
they went from version 14 to 15 something changed in the colour palettes and
I had the problem with completely black models. Sounds like this is not your
problem though.

Secondly, I had strange colours on OpenFlight models - only under Linux! - if
I assigned names to colours in the palette. Removed the names and voila, the
models appeared OK. Suspect a missing byte swap somewhere. Again, this was a
consistent problem and not intermittent so I'm not sure this is your problem.

Hope it helps!
Regards, Simon

Hi pfAll,

we model our scenes with Creator and have problems with colors of
external references: sometimes steady, sometimes hopping wrong colors -
sometimes right colors too ;-). We need externals for many times re-used
objects in the terrain. The effect is to bee seen only for several
terrains loaded in our application - 1 terrain in perfly is fine.
Is there anything to bear in mind?

THX
Manne
