Still Missing Spire Corvette Graphics...
« on: May 13, 2014, 07:47:09 pm »
Reported this issue quite a while back.  I saw something in the changelog about a fix to graphics not getting properly updated and I thought that might fix it, but nope...  The attached picture is still a thing that is happening to me.  No idea why.

This is with the Steam version of AI War with all expansions, although I don't have every expansion through Steam, confusingly.  I believe Light of the Spire and Ancient Shadows are the two I don't have Steam copies of.

Sorry about that.  What you're missing isn't so much the corvette graphics as the module graphics.

The current architecture doesn't really allow for updates or additions to expansion images, which is apparently why this sort of thing happens.  So I probably need to put those images where this problem has happened into the non-expansion part of the file structure, and have the game check there if it can't find them in the expansion folders.

Maybe have the game prioritize the graphics in the non-expansion folder?  That way you could use it as a way to fix bugs with expansion graphics.  (Okay, really I just mean the Z Traitor Trader... that extra pixel bothers me to this day...)

Ah, true, prioritizing it would make more sense.
