Missing textures "noob" question

[MDogger]

Hey all,
Now Im sure Im being a total noob asking this, but I'd apreciate the help.
I loaded my map up in windowed like advised if it crashes, which it does at 62% and I get this error message up. Now there is NO dice directory like that on my HD, I have view all hidden folders on, and I even typed in the directory but it doesnt exsist...
I was thinking maybe its in the BF2 folder somewhere then, but I cant locate this file anywhere, anyone know where I can grab this missing file?
Thanks all for any help

That directory and file relate to the system that Dice made the editor with kind of (it is not on your computer basically).

What is missing is one of the colormaps (which I htink is the textures and stuff?).

My basic advice would be to go to the colormaps folder in your "al_zahard" folder and then look in there. There should be 8 files called "tx_s0" through to "tx_s7".

If any are missing then try and copy one and rename it to fill in the gaps. (i.e. your error says "tx_s1" is missing - try copying tx_s0 ands renaming it to tx_s1).


If there are none there, then I am not sure :|


(Not sure exactly what colormaps are, but copying it across will make the area tx_s1 the same as tx_s0. If they are just blank maps though then it won't be a problem. Some repainting may be required (assuming the maps show where paint has been), but at least it _should_ load up.

Re: Missing textures "noob" question

Well Iv gone into my colourmaps folder for my level, and theres 18 DDS files all of them called something like "tx01x00.dds" but with diferent numbers obviously
So.. should I just copy one of these random files and just rename it "tx_s1" also I loaded up the bf2 editor, and the corner of my map is darker then the rest, and I cant add paint or take it away.. :-s I really wanted to avoid repainting my entire map
