Need some LW surfacing help

I'm having trouble figuring out what I'm doing wrong with my surfaces. They're perfect in LW, but in the game some of the textures are misaligned. Can anybody (maybe Shane:D) tell me where I'm going wrong.

Here's what they look like in Modeler.


And here's what they look like in game. Notice that the front windows on the cockpit are slightly misaligned, the top windows are exactly right, and the top aft cockpit texture seems to be twisting counter-clockwise.


Any thoughts?

Also, the textured area behind the top windows are all one surface. So why does the long back part have proper smoothing and the front doesn't (you can see this better in the Modeler pic)? And the front part of the cockpit (with the windows) has no smoothing at all, although it's checked in the surface editor.

Is that one texture (the sides of the cockpit 'arm' and the round end of the cabin)? What projection are you using?

Hi Shane. Here's a pic to show the breakdown of the surfaces on the cockpit.

• Bright green is the front windows. 1 texture. Planar projection on the Z axis.
• Light purple is the upper windows area. 1 texture. Planar projection along the Y axis.
• Dark green is the upper half of the cockpit hallway. 1 texture. Planar projection along the Y axis.

Here are the actual bitmaps being used. I converted them into jpeg's to load faster here.







The textures are huge right now because I'm still working on them, but it hasn't slowed the game down. I've tried smaller versions but it doesn't help. The textures are also not square, but, I've tried making them square and that doesn't help either.

Are you using the automatic sizing feature?

Yes. And as you can see in the very first pic they all fit perfectly in Modeler.

Honestly, I have no idea. I've never encountered this problem.

Perhaps set the texture to non-repeating and see what that does?
