Thread: Glow effects not working?

    Default Glow effects not working?

    Hi!
    I gotta start out by saying that this is the greatest mod i have ever seen, and i tank you so much for allowing me to replay a staple of my childhood!
    But onto the problem. So far everything seems to be working fine for me except the glow effects. They apear to be displayed as alpha maps, and are sold black. Has anybody else encountered this? the debug log doesn't have any error messages either. Thanks for any help!!

    Here's a screenshot:

    Wow.. I've never seen such problem.

    It looks like some issue with colour tables.

    How exactly did you made this bug? If you don't know, maybe try to describe how you've installed the game?

    I installed it just normally using the keeper file from my gold CD. Im running Windows 7 x64 and It's constant on every resolution and map ive tested. I'll try re-downloading the zip incase something got corrupted on the way. Other than that it's running beautifully!

    Just re-installed it without changing any settings, still glitching. Its not a huge deal, especially if its only my PC so dont worry about it too much!

    Try deleting "tables.dat" - the game will recompute content that file if it's missing.
    It contains colour tables used for blending.

    deleting tiles.dat didn't seem to work
    Straight alpha textures such as the portal fog still work fine, it only appears to effect anything using an additive blending shader...

    Did you ment "tables.dat"? That should be the file to delete?

    KeeperFX doesn't use hardware rendering - everything regarding composing a scene (and textures) is inside the executable, and all users have the same version of this code.

    Since noone else reported such problem, I think the source could only be in the files which are installed from DK CD.

    Try getting an alternate CD image from somewhere in the net and using it for installation.
