Re: Textures failing

Is there a problem with the light maps, maybe?

Or a problem with the shadows, maybe...

Re: Textures failing

You didn't compile your light maps that why the terrain is appearing dark, no light to brighten it up.

Re: Textures failing

unfortunatly, it didn't work, here is a screenshot of what it now looks like, it is an improvment but

so what have i done wrong? did i fail to save something, also in your guide it doesn't say what to save as when making the ground hemi, so i left it as default, is that right?

Re: Textures failing

Now you have to set a low detail texture. http://www.totalbf2.com/forums/showp...64&postcount=5
I never experimented much into low detail texture, the default one is rock or something to that affect, if you want more options you may find it helpful to google for a more detailed description of low detail textures.

I don't think I changed the name of the ground hemi, I got that part from another tutorial not really sure what it does.

Make sure you heade the warning about ignoring the picture in my generating lightmaps tutorial, since the way that it is in the picture will make your map look in ways you don't want it, and it is unchangeable, you may have noticed this in Attack at Taiming where there is a line going through the map.

Re: Textures failing

I can't remember exactly, but you might need to copy your textures from the editor directory, to your map's texture directory. OR VICE VERSA i can't remember wich.
