Textures applied in ZeroEditor don't show up ingame [Solved]

Post by Locutus »

Hi!
The textures applied in the editor don't show up ingame.
I used the same textures as high-res and low-res textures yet I don't fully understand the difference here.
So, whenever I found I texture that I liked I selected this texture as a low-res texture and as a high-res texture. I assume that that is causing my problem.

Can someone tell me what to do?

i have trouble understanding your problem. as far as i know you can only have one lowrestexture for the terrain that is set in the .sky file. textures or models with lowres/lowrez in their name are those who are seen when the object has a big distance to the player.
i honestly cant see which texture in the editor is no present inagem, probably because i cant make out where the area from the ingamescreen is in the ze-screen.

Try to have the same camera positions in both ZE and ingame.

Wait a minute, are you talking about the white texture?

No, that's the texture brush xD


Okay, what I mean is simple - If you take a look at the ingame screen you see the terrain is green all over (only one single texture everywhere).
That's how it looks at EVERY place ingame (it's textur 1 btw).
ALL of the other textures don't show up, the terrain should look similar to the one depicted in the Zeroeditor screenshot.

that is probably because the green texture has the highest priority?!
im not sure though, it should look all green in ZE then too probably.

Can you turn objects off visually, then take an overhead screenshot in ZE, that way we can see what you mean about multiple textures?

I've taken another picture to point this out a bit:

You can see the difference to the editor, ingame it's all green, only texture 0 (lowest layer) shows up.

I messed up with high-res and low-res texture - what I meant was "Texture" and "Detail".
What's the difference there?

"texture" is the texturename "detail" is a greyscaled detailtexture that is blended over the terraintexture ingame with lightsetting on high, you cna only have one detailtexture i think.
do you have all your terraintextures in data_XXX\Worlds\XXX\world1 ?

Yes, all of the textures are in my world1 folder.
I made a manual clean as well but with no success.

Any idea how I can make my textures appear ingame? The map looks terrible without the textures

Try removing all detail textures. (In ZE. Dont just remove them from your world1 folder, that would do nothing)

Yay, it worked!
Unfortunately the textures look different than in the editor and not as good.

I'm not using any detail textures (I even don't fully understand from where I can take them and what they do).
I used the detail textures randomly but then the textures don't show up at all (ingame).
It is working now, but the textures look different (and worse) than in the editor.

"Worse" is opinionated. I happen to like how they look ingame, they look desaturated from in ZE, but thats all. I think it looks good, and you should move on in my opinion.

OFFTOPIC:

@ Pic 2, there is something called foliage to add grass, weeds, etc. Just a tip, but it could make the map less laggy. :cpu:
