Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) and Trouble Shooting

If you discover a bug in QSB, please send a description of the bug and a detailed explanation of what you did to cause the bug to appear to pjs@ce.mediaone.net.

Here are answers to some common questions:

Q) How come this program runs so slow?
A) This program was designed to run on computers with Pentium II processors and 3D accelerated video cards. Adjust the mouse sensitivity. Also, try setting Display as Wireframe Fast in the Viewport menu while you set up the scene. Certain options (lights, shadows, transparency, background images) have a negative impact on performance. Turn these options on after the scene has been setup.

Q) I can't see the model I just loaded, why?
A) If your scene doesn't have a light, add one or try turning off Effected by Lighting on the Skins/Animation page in the Object Properties window.

Q) The display is very dark.
A) In the Scene Properties window change the Ambient Color to white. Also try brightening the ambient color of the individual objects. As a last resort, adjust the Gamma and restart QSB.

Q) Clicking on the Color Picker doesn't change anything, why?
A) You must select a color in order for the color picker to work. If the tab contains the text "No Color Selected", the Color Picker won't work.
