Hi Performers,

Anyone else seeing these problems with the FLT loader on Linux (in my case RH
9 and Suse 9.0)?

* I upgraded to the new Creator 3.0 and now loading any database using
external references my textures are gone. I also get warnings about missing
texture or material palette indexes even though I enabled the "use external
texture/material palette" option in all external references. This is
preventing me from editing my databases now. This does NOT occur on IRIX.

* I do some node lookup by name. Strangely some names work others can't found
even when it works again fine on the IRIX platform and they are indeed
present in the database. It seems names are getting corrupted somehow in the
loader.

* If I use names with colours in the colour palette, the colours are
corrupted in the run-time. My workaround for now is remove all names but it
is annoying. Yet again this is fine on IRIX.

Generally the FLT loader on Linux seems buggy. Any chance of an open source
version so we could have a go at fixing this stuff ourselves?

Regards, Simon
