The sky on ignatz’s old dogfight project has gone all stripey and weird.
You can see what it used to look like on the project icon:
The project won’t upload here but it’s on WebRepo as Ignatz Dogfight.
Any idea how to fix it?
It’s one of his coolest projects and I’d love to keep it running.
Anyone? Is it a Craft thing somehow?
Potentially a missing asset? I haven’t had a look at the code, but could it be the skybox is missing
@UberGoober - I have a working copy on my iPad but worried about the size of it, it is reported as 10mgb in finder.
Haven’t posted an attachment on here for ages - can you refresh my memory ?
So far have not found the skymap itself, will continue looking.
Below the place where you enter text, in the lower right, are two buttons, one looks like a desktop screen, one looks like the share symbol. The thing that looks like a share symbol is actually an upload symbol, and tapping on it will let you upload files and photos.
No the texture is right there in the assets… it’s just rendering wrong
Sorry - bit dumb here. When you say the lower right all I see are a heart, the links icon, the three dots and the reply button. That’s after opening up a reply dialogue ….
What part of the forum are you describing ?
p.s. this editing was done on my iPad
p.p.s. I did post to @sim about this forum, - have the editing features changed as it looks like the old forum has been totally transfered onto the Discourse website/forum and there may be editing issues as a result.
@UberGoober - finally figured out what I was doing wrong with posting a link so attached the working copy of Ignatz’s dogfight - hope that works OK for you - let me know if not.
@UberGoober - just out of curiosity - what’s the resolution on your iPhone ?
Just looking at your image you can probably identify some of the areas which exhibit change. For instance, is the circle in the bottom right corner a radar system showing relative locations and directional information ? That may give you a lead.
In addition the skybox doesn’t resemble the source file at all, have you checked out the image I posted in the included zipped file ?
The other coloured circles you are seeing should be obvious from the code - what feature of the code are they from ?
Those circles are just the normal UI, you know, the control buttons in the radar.
There’s nothing wrong with the asset and this is the exact same file you posted. I didn’t modify it in any way; you can go in the asset browser and see that it’s perfectly fine.
@UberGoober - don’t have an iPhone so not sure of the screen geometry or the memory allocation you have. Is it possible that Codea has expanded the image such that you are seeing a very small part of the skybox ?
What happens when you rotate the aircraft- how does the image change as it does ?
It’s just stays as you see, but from different angles.
It’s basically like flying around inside an upside down ceramic bowl with a blue stripe pattern going around it.
@ubergoober - if I remember rightly this particular demo uses a 2D image of the sky which it duplicates and flips vertically to get a mirror image. Not the regular sky box approach - I’ll have to check out the code again - if so that may be the reason for what you see.
It’s odd that the distortion would be only on iPhone thought ain’t it?
@sim any reason a custom old-school mesh-based skybox would work differently on iPhone than iPad?
It looks like it’s taking a tiny strip of the texture and stretching it around the sphere. I wonder if the texture coordinates for the default sphere are off.
Would that explain why it looks right on iPad and wrong on iPhone?
Hmm no, I don’t suppose you can put the project here? Though given it’s Craft it might be a good one to try rewriting in the modern renderer
It ain’t craft, brother 
This is @Ignatz code, hardcore old-school mesh() all the way.
The zip of the project has been pasted here just a few messages above by @Bri_G, and it’s also available on WebRepo.
Oh weird. I tried Bri_G’s zip but it did not run (lots of errors). I figured it might be broken and you were using a different version
