Problem Nonexistant HUDOFF.dds

[orbitingpluto]

I just got Greg Burch's LSTS addons and the TotalImmersion stuff for it and I had a CTD when I tried to spawn one from the scnEditer. This is my Orbiter.log from the CTD

>>> ERROR: Missing texture: HUDOFF.dds
>>>        [C:\Source\Orbiter\Texture.cpp / 781]

From this thread I find that HUDOFF.dds isn't supposed to exist. Could I make a blank texture or something to be HUDOFF.dds so I can use the ships? Or is there some deep wizardry that I'm missing to make it all work?

 

[Tommy]

From the other posts in that thread, I suggest getting SSBB 4.0 and extracting the HUDOFF.dds from that. Or you could try creating a transparent texture and giving it that name.

The main issue is caused by the way Greg extends the SC3 with custom HUD's. There's no good way to do it - the method he uses is about the only way to make it work. However, the mesh specifies a texture (HUDOFF) so when Orbiter tries to initialize the vessel it tries to load ALL textures specified in the mesh. If it fails to find a texture, it won't be able to initialize the sim.

 

[orbitingpluto]

I already had both SSBB 4.0 and 4.1. So I decided to make a HUDOFF.dds. My HUDOFF.dds didn't work. I think I'll try a [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=2371"]patch[/ame] I found for LSTS. Here's hoping that might work.

This problem is a bit beyond me. Here's what has been happening to me:
1. Loading the LSTS vessels causes Orbiter to crash, with it giving the HUDOFF.dds 'ERROR: missing texture' thing in the above log.
2. Loading the Shuttle A with the screditor causes orbiter to crash, with no errors in the log file.
3. Loading a scenario file with the TotalImmersion LSTS landers started with the vessels in the world, but crashed when I switched vessels. Here is the log for that:

I checked and found that those textures don't exist in my orbiter installation or in the zips the ships came in. This is frustrating as hell as I can't pinpoint what is missing up what or how to fix it:beathead:.

 

[Tommy]

I'm assuming that you have installed both the following, at a minimum, before installing the TI addition:

[ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=2349"]Local Space Transportation System for Orbiter 2006[/ame]

[ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=2371"]Local Space Transportation System Patch 2[/ame]

Also, I'm assuming you've installed Spacecraft 3 by Vinka, Multistage may also be required (but I don't think so). Note that SC3 and Multistage both have patches which are required for 2010 compatibility.

http://users.swing.be/vinka/

You seem to be missing a few textures, which suggests that you are missing a required dependency somewhere. Go through the docs and ensure that you have all required add-ons, and check for patches to them.docs.

There is a slight chance that this is a 2010 compatibility issue and cannot be resolved in 20010. 2006P1 should still work.

 

[orbitingpluto]

darn it. It wasn't LSTS at all. Because of the crashing happened when using the screditor, I went and looked at what I had recently added, under the assumption the missing textures weren't the problem. I had added SuborbitMfd, and disabling that stopped the crashes. As far as I can tell, HUDOFF.dds, MPanel12.dds, MHatch.dds, and LSTS32.dds are most likely intentional absents that Mr. Burch put into his code and are not a problem. Thanks for being out here as a sounding board.:tiphat:
