Dissapearing LoD?

[Master-Of-Fungus-Foo-D]

everytime i build a map with Lod from image.... the LoD never shows up when i try to play the game! It just goes away like some magic trick and leaves my player falling into an infinite abyss.

(P.S. Does having your map off of the grid have ANYTHING to do with this?)

You cant put anything off the grid. Well you can, but you will get errors like this.

ok i moved my entire map off the grid compiled and i still get the same thing. but i stil dont hav ne answers to the "dissapearing terrain".

man where is Sherlock .Map when you need him!

btw. another wierd happening. My LoD doesnt show a texture when i make the LoD. It just turns white as snow and qont cahange even if i texture it.

There are too many complications making your own textures. You need lots of scripting and proper layers and channels and make it the proper format. There are 3 formats you can use that have different effects...
.jpg, .dds, .tga.
Try and search for texture making tutorials, and look throught the pk3's scripts and shaders. It is hard, trust me.

Stuff must be ON the grid. ALso I think he meant he used an image to make the LOD?

i didnt make the texture imade the lod. ANY TEXTURE IPUTON THE LoD TERRAIN DOESNT CHANGE IT IT STAYS WHITE


(PS) yarik? howd you get such a big avatar img?

[Yarik]

I think it was because I used an off site host,
www.uploadit.org
Or you make your image .gif
that reduces the size
