The sniper for Northern Faction has a hole in it. When you move the sniper, you can see in the scope that you can see straight through it. Please fix this!
Got a picture? I think the screenshot shortcut is F12 for Empires (for other Source games it throws you out of the game, just a heads-up)
Yeah, a lot of model errors only tend to show up at specific aspect ratios. You'll need to screenshot it for us.
That's not a bug, it was just a quick way of doing the animation. But yeah, only visible on certain aspect ratios.
I think your right Trickster, i looks like a reflection. I believe i have seen this before but never given it much attention
It is NOT a reflection. I screenshot at the wrong time Try the sniper in-game and you will see. You can clearly see the desert ground and parts of the sniper behind the scope. New picture coming up.
Yep I'd agree with simple, I daresay the modeler used a cutout in the model to create a "reflection". Brot-you can see darker blades of grass in the "reflection" of his screenshots, which match exactly what is behind the model, some of the hsots are clearer than others.
You could all be correct. If the faces of the optics are set up with translucency transparency we could be seeing (Or rather not seeing as they don't draw) the back faces of the scopes innards.
That is indeed a hole most likely caused by back face culling. I'm going to put it in the bug tracker.
