Black terrain textures on high lighting settings

Post by acryptozoo »

i just finished painting the terrain for my map and it looks great on low lighting settings
but when i switch it to high all the terrain is pitch black and i get this error which i think is causing it

Code: Select all

Message Severity: 3
.\Graphics\Pc\Shaders\pcTerrainShader2.cpp(293)
TerrainShader_: detail texture expects L8 format!
any ideas what is wrong

thanks in advance

L8 error means you may have had RLE compression turned on when saving the tga.

If using a stock tga try opening it in a tga editor and then do a save as without compression.

Hmmm I have this problem alot. Here are some suggestions...

1. Is your DIR light on colors: 255;255;255?

2. Did you burn your terrain?

3. In Color, is the terrain the color you want it to be?
