Title: No more family portraits, loading portraits, or screenshots
Post by: Surelyfunke on 2006 October 23, 11:30:24
This may or may not have anything to do with Pets. Might have something to do with Quaxi's censor patch (Pets update), but I'm not sure. I could care less about portraits, but I do love my pictures. All pictures I take end up a screen full of black. I know I can use Print Screen, but it's less efficient.

How the hell do I restore them?

I think the screenshot fuction is influenced by any lighting mods you may have installed.
The same happens to the photobooth pictures; I had to remove Gunmod's lighting because the photos developed as black silhouettes  :P

Nope, don't have Radiance Lighting mod. Thanks though.  :-\

Did you install Numenor's Scriptorium? An earlier version was installing GunMod's lights even if you choose not to install it. He made an update to it.

I removed the Scriptorium prior to installing Pets. Thanks simmiecal. This is very baffling  ???

Just another shot in the dark  :D

Can you check your userStartup.cheat file, and see if there is a line like: boolProp useShaders false ?

LOL  :D

I'll give that a go and report results.

Edit: I don't have such a file and I don't think there's a line like that. I think my shaders are on because I have fish in the aquarium (?)

What about the loading screen pictures? Lots, families etc don't show up.

Another odd thing is that one house in particular (the one I played when this thing messed up) does not appear to have walls in the neighbourhood view. It has roofs and everything else, but missing the walls and windows. Very strange indeed.

Problem fixed  ;D

Only thing is, I don't know how it happened, but it happened after I plonked down a bunch of neighbourhood decorations. Camera, loading portraits, all that good stuff is back!

Thanks for your help, everyone.
