Hey jaksta, I belive there was an update to the Ateria packs, it should be in your order history. If i recall the problem is those models use .jpeg images, which FPSC has problems with.

I recently learned to sleep with my eyes open. ..... God am I tired

Only in v1.18 and up. They work fine for us in v1.17 and lower.

.

Just changing the format will not solve your issue, you will need to modify the segment FPS file or the entity FPI file to find the correct image,

Example From

texture0 = texturebank\common\ground_d2.jpg

To the correct format see examples

texture0 = texturebank\common\ground_d2.tga
texture0 = texturebank\common\ground_d2.dds
texture0 = texturebank\common\ground_d2.png

I'am not GOD but i can make you see again by taking my fingers out of your eyes and i can make you walk again by taking your beer away, but if you take my beer you will not walk again

Your theory will not apply here. The pack in question are entities, using just a jpg texture file. The method of applying a D, D2, will not solve it.

That also works. We actually did that to use in v1.18. I also recall when I placed dynamic lights in the map the buildings disappeared.

Perhaps the OP could shed more light to the map layout- are there dynamic lights? What version of FPSC is being used, etc.
