sky and terrain PROBLEM

(walter1989) #21

you’re right

its not working
the console tries to read the pcx file

not the bmp/tga file

too bad

i discovered that radiant couldnt read the pcx file anymore
since i installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0

is this just coincidence or could it have anything to do with it?

BTW when i make exaxtly the same terrain as i did when i posted here (the one with those ugly orange squares), radiant also wont read the pcx file anymore!

Please take a look at the terrain func_group keys.
There must be a alphamap key with the value MAPNAME.pcx.

there is

but now i realise that, when exporting frop easygen, i don’t know what to fill in in

Metashader

name ---------- textures / ??? / ???

I filled in textures / testterrain / terrain

maybe this is the problem?

I think that this is not the problem.
Haven’t experienced this error.
Strange.

May be it’s a good idea to start over again (with another testterrain).

i already did

its just not working

anyway, thanks for your help :smiley:

Where is your .pcx ? is it in your etmain folder ?

You should make a second installation that you only use for mapping.
And that has no custom maps in it’s directories.
