Hmh, I installed R1.1 and the two packages Bobbaou mentioned previously in this thread. When starting FS2, it gave errors about tables and when starting the demo campaign it gave errors about subsystems. And then the Hyperions were Auroras and Auroras couldn't fire weapons.

Fury...I'm convinced that your system is ummm...messed

I don't have any of those problems on the latest test EXE's and my tables are far messier than R1.1.

Bobboau, yes I overrided everything what was in your files.
I used this http://freespace.volitionwatch.com/blackwater/fs2_open.zip and this http://freespace.volitionwatch.com/blackwater/TBP_open.zip. Don't know if these are newer or older but these are the ones you posted.

Ice, shut up. There's nothing wrong in my system.

Hey, Bobboau. Would you happen to know if there is a way to fix the problem with the Olympus? Because my computer seems to have the glitch, and I happen to find it a little annoying.

well, I don't know what is causeing the problem, and Olympus is IMO the ugliest ship in all of the B5 universe, though it did have some cool glowmapping effects done to it

Bobboau - can glow maps be triggered on and off with an event in fred? If not, then I'd recommend someone working on that, because a derelict won't really look right with all the lights on.
