TGEA beta2 Dts objects are black.

I posted this in another thread, but was suggested to report it as a bug.

If a new dts object is added to the starter.fps kit, it is black, even after relight.
Making a material.cs file listing all the textures works, but the object is then too bright. (it's emitting light)

My system specs are:

Windows XP home
3700 amd athlon 64
nVidia GeForce 6800XT
1.0 gig ram

I can't reproduce this bug...

I tried copying the station folder from T3D\game\scriptsAndAssets\data\shapes to Stronghold\game\scriptsAndAssets\data\shapes. I then deleted the material.cs.

When I loaded up the Mission Editor I opened up the Creator and drilled down into Static Shapes and added the station to the mission and it came in fine.

Is there anything special about your shapes?

Can you send me an example?

Thanks!

I haven't tried any of the prefabs. Just used my own.

Nope. Does it with both dts and dif objects. (when I can get a dif into tgea 1.7 B2)
My dts shapes are using polysoup.

Sure. I'll send it to the email in your profile.
