Dt's show normal in -show but all black in game

Hey all!
I have been playing with the latest HEAD, loaded up a few dts models in the show tool and they appear as expected. Load them in game and they are 100% black, a few are not even seen in the game, but their objtid is seen in the editor. When you select one of these "invisible" objects the game crashes.
any thoughts?

Any idea why it's crashing?

Have not had to time to run it through the debugger, I suspect it is in some of my own code. As to the pitch black, it happens in stock HEAD with no changes, realy odd

The black models may just be a lighting problem. while in your editor (F11) press "alt + L". Wait abit, and see what happens.

Nod, I already tried that :) found it in another thread before I opened this one. I have spent about 8 hours (over 2 days) mucking with this. I have taken one of the datablocks from the demo and replaced the shapeFile with mine and still all black *sigh*. In the end it will more than likely be something stupid I overlooked which will make me look like the horses a$$ ;)-Ron

The same thing is happening to me, with starter.fps. I can see the DTS models in -show ONLY if I adjust the Detail control. But the models will show up totally invisible in the game. Ive tried changing the detail level many many times and still it does nothing. Is there a way to manually change the detail level in the scripts? Can I change the detail level for each object or DTS in the game?

This can happen if your model isn't standing on a terrain block or an interior *and* you have no Sun object in your mission.
