Title: UI textures showing up on the background
Post by: deoxy99 on May 16, 2010, 12:45:29 PM

Uh, I am scared. Wtf happened to it? It looks cool, scary, and weird.
Those icons are part of the UI.

That's kind of awesome.

I've seen that happen before. You haven't messed anything up.

Just restart Universe Sandbox and the problem should go away.

I love looking at icons in a formation like that.

Yay! Fifth dimension!

When I first see it, it seems, primativly SPORE-like.

Inside of Universe Sandbox textures are references as numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4

For example (just making up these numbers, they depend on the order the textures are loaded):
That earth texture is number 23.
Jupiter is 21.
The Milky Way galaxy background is made from 2 square textures, numbers 10 and 11.
And the UI textures are made of 3 different textures: 1, 5, & 6.

Somehow the background texture got mixed up with the UI textures and is displayed on the spherical background object. That's what happened here.

So, if I wanted to, I could make a planet look like that?

What code would I use.

MWEHAHAHAHAHA!!!! BAHAHAAHAH!!!! AHHAHAHAHA!!!! HAAHAH!

The textures are in the 'graphics folder':
ui-elements.dds
ui-icons.dds
ui-logos.dds

Just copy them to your Media folder (Documents/Universe Sandbox/Media) to use them.

Yay! I just bought US2, now I will try the thingy.

Dan, where do I get my code?

Edit: nevermind, I found it!

Btw, I put the wrong e-mail address in US2, so I hope you don't send to that one.
