Turn down terrain quality to low and it'll appear as normal ingame.

I believe you need to fill in the blank below "Detail" in the texture tool
you can read about it in the SWBF Modders Tutorial
the file name depends on what detail texture you want, but for now you can put in the stock "Detail" texture of:
geo1_bump.tga
then when you play there should be no black circle that follows you around!

(I wish other modder would ask the same question because so many mod maps now have the black circle and it's so easy to fix!)

Nice map, although you could put a death region ontop of the lava so you can't go through it!
And the dead body if they're normal trooper models will be using up a lot of PC processing power!
Very nice and I like the working doors.

Looks nice, but the lava things floating in the air are going through the walls. I think a rainshadow region would fix that. Plus, at around one minute mark of the vid, the raised terrain looks terrible against the Mustafar props.

to scale hold down the "Z" key then press one of the mouse button and there you are,
the three mouse buttons let you scale in the three axises!

You can also replace death regions with damage regions that do 999999 damage to anything that hits them. Damage regions don't have to be referenced in the LUA. In my map, if you go to the shore, you die. And the only things I referenced in the LUA were the 2 new CPs and the heroes.
