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.

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