DA vs. DL question, what's this white stuff on my ships in DA, it wasnt there in DL

from GalCiv2 Forums
I finally got my copy of Dark Avatar fixed the way I wanted with same stuff I got from here to use woth Dread Lords, best of all, Kyro's Ships Mod

But there is one thing that I need help with getting rid of if it is possible

When I look at my ships in DA, part of the outside of the ship is all white. Huh? I have no idea what this is

Here are some pics to help show what I mean

This ship is my Imperial Warhawk, it's hull is the Altarian huge hull 3, but I biild this as medium ship. As you can see from the 1st two pics, they look normal:






But now, that same ship in DA has a diffrent look:






So do you see the white on the 2 pics from DA? What is that and how can I, if possible, make that go away so thyey look like the top 2 pics from DL?

I did try disabling the ships textures in DA, and the white skin did go away, but the ships looks so bare without textures

So then what gives? Can anyone help me with this?

Perhaps some of the texture files got corrupted? Did you download the game, or get a hard copy? Is it always the same parts that have white textures, and in the same places? Did you have this problem before installing Kryo's mod?

Try turning down the specular intensity slider in the video options to 0, and see if that helps.

I did download DA, but I did order the download and CD version, so I should get my CD delivered soon.

As for the white parts. they are always in the same places and they are always white, and yes, this problem existed before I added Kyro's ships mod.

Just tried that, but no luck they are still white

You might want to try disabling bump-mapping too. If they're still white after that, please post your debug.

Well, I did that, and this is how it came out:






Thus, since it didn't work, here is the debug below:

You should definitely look for some new video drivers, at intel's or gateway's website. The game is intended to work with drivers from late 2005 or newer--anything older could have strange issues.

Well, I went to Gateway and used their online chat with tech support

The 1st guy pissed me off because when I asked for the drivers I told him why I needed them and he claimed that I needed a new video card to run the game

I finally got the drivers from a diffrent Gateway tech support guy who I just told I needed video drivers, and he gave me a link

The lastest drivers that Gateway had for mine were from 11/14/2005, so I downloaded then and ran them and rebooted, but I loaded in the game and still I get the white parts on my ships   

I wonder if Intel might have more up to date drivers?

GOOD NEWS!!!!

I started a thread on ExtremeSkins.com, the offical Washington Redskins board, and the first person to reply left me a link to the Intel website with a driver that was put out on 1/17/07.

So I downloaded that and it worked!!!!

The ships now all look the same

Thanks kyro and No118 for all your help
