Hi all - I'm having a strange problem with some DW scenarios I downloaded from Sub Guru's site. They are a pack of Demo Scenario Mods by BrettDez that appear to be modded demo scenarios.
When I start them (DW 1.04) the Nav map is pitch black. I have tried to open them in the editor to see if the Nav map view was disabled, but they don't show in the list. Here's what I see: ![]() Any ideas what it could be and whether I can fix it? I'm pretty sure the Nav map should be showing. Other scenarios work just fine. thanks smith |

Never heard of this before. Sounds like some kind of graphicscard driver issue. What type of card and driver version do you have?
Judging by the 3d window it looks as if your sub is under ice. Try to use "Shift i" to see if you can get a (different) map overlay, which maybe makes the map not black anymore. Just a wild guess to a solution.

Thanks Pisces. I'm running a Geforce 8600GTS. Not the latest drivers 174.74, but they work well with everything else I have on the machine.
I'll give your Shift I suggestion a try, but I get the same black screen on the other of his scenarios that don't involve ice. Edit: tried Shift I - didn't do anything. I'm a bit stumped. Might have to just not play those scenarios. smith |

Wel, I have no experience with Geforces. Maybe somebody else can tell more. But I highly doubt it's because it came from Subguru's site. It's safe to say it's the most used place to download them from. If others would have this too it would have been noticed. Besides, the scenario loads so it probably isn't corrupt.
What are your other graphic settings, in DW aswel as in desktop settings in windows: colordepth, resolution, AntiAlias, Anisotropic filtering, etc.

Confirmed. Both my desktop and my laptop are doing the same thing with these missions.
My next idea was that they may have been made with the demo version of the game and so maybe I could load them in the mission editor and re-save them. No dice.They don't show up in the mission editor nowmatter what load screen you use including the import one. You can't even see the files. I think these are the ACTUAL files from the Dangerous Waters demo and they aren't fully compattable with the full game.

Cheers Blacklight - glad to see its not just me. I suspect your suggested explanation is what the issue is. Oh well, I'll just pass over these. BrettDez hasn't posted here since 2005 so I don't expect we could even ask him.
cheers smith |
