Helicopter major graphics error with it.

[Geo Ghost]

ok, new @ first i thought it was some kind of new UFO, but a closer look, it was one of my Helicopter roters going absolute mad with graphics. i have a file with a few PCX screenshots below, showing a few out of the hundred things it was doing!!! anyone seen this problem be for? its only with one helicopter.

i've never seen this problem before! its certainly very strange. Its a Guru X2 your using isn't it? You might want to try turning the new sprite sorter off, as tha has caused a few problems....

it could b from this new TTDpatch i got this morning. i will see what happens. yes it is with the Guro X2 (or what ever the name is!) the strange thing is, its only with that heli, not any others!. It stops changing after a while and goes to that 'ZZzzz' cursor, and stays like it. it might be a once only thing, but just to make sure, i think somebody might want to cheak out the new (i think its Alpha 40) patch.
cheers

That bug looks substantially like this one, except that the only vehicles with overridden rotors I'm aware of are the 2 zeppelins (ID 0,1) and the Chinnok (ID 0x26). The Guru, however, is ID 0x27, so shouldn't be affected by this.

Could you post a save-game, or check the word at 0x28 in the vehicle struct for the rotor? I'm guessing that's where your problem lies.

i will see if it works. its happening with 2 games (that i have checked)
there both Heli's (both types)
as soon as you load this game, pause it immediatly, and at the edingborugh small airport (Light blue, not dark blue) there should be a heli about with a really odd rotor tht will keeping changing out of pause mode.


{ sorry, cant find the right game save right now. when i do, i will edit and post. sorry. }
