Title: Plan Y camera option missing
Post by: monks on June 04, 2012, 12:21:24 PM
Hi, I don't seem to have a plan Y option in the drop down menu for camera. The only option is through camera. When I click on the drop down, a thick grey line appears. I've not set up any additional cameras to the default project one- (render camera is set as the camera). I'm using the latest release. What am I missing..?

Where are you looking? In the Image Map shader?

Yes, it's the same whether I have the 'render' camera assigned in projection camera or not.

PlanY isn't an option for camera type, it's an option for projection type. Through Camera is one of those options as well. Are you seeing *any* other options on the drop-down list? If not, it's possible you're seeing a display-related issue that we've had reported previously.

Yes, that's what I mean. There are no other options in the projection drop down list. I've tried it with both the projection camera being unassigned and assigned to the 'render' camera.

The camera assignment has no effect on the dropdown as PlanY is an *alternative* to Through Camera projection, not a type of camera projection. This sounds like the graphics bug discussed here: http://www.planetside.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=14353
Try the suggestion in that thread and see if it solves your issue.

Yeh, mouse scroll wheels solves it. Better keep an eye out for that one with the other drop downs. I don't really want to reinstall just yet. Thanks Oshyan.

You shouldn't need to reinstall, that thread recommends just changing your Windows desktop theme to "Classic" and back again.
