weird periscope problem

PULSEOX · 07-01-07, 11:43 PM

Ever since I bought the game my Observation periscope has been unusable.
Fully extended it just shows black. Attack scope was fine.
Tonight I installed RFB mod and now the Observation scope is fine but the Attack scope is dark!
Does this make sense to any one?

Are you sure you did not run any mods prior to RFB ?
Never heard of this problem. As the vanilla SH4 uses the SAME overlay (Texture bitmap) for BOTH Scopes, it does sound very strange.

You are extending the Observation scope, right?

Yeah I hate to say it but are you using ins and del (keyboard) to
raise and lower it. One would assume so but I have to ask.

I've raised it both with the keyboard and ingame controls. I hear it raising and lowering-but there is no view inside the scope-completely dark.
What is weird to me is that on the stock game it was the Observation scope-but with the RFB mod- the observation scope works and now its the attack scope that's dark!

it is weird ill admit but I have no insight that would help in this case
reboot or a quick intall of the improved scopes mod ( a favorite )
