Usually I can fix 1001 things FH related, but this issue seems to have me stumped.
I recently released a map of mine that is roughly 2 years old. I haven't had any issues with it in those 2 years I've had it, until now. The issue being the sand texture not working. Here's pretty much some time lapse of what happened:
- A couple days ago I sent the map to AlphaEclipse to just show her an old map I made. She was the first person to notice that a terrain texture was missing, so I gave her all the sand textures I had as I couldn't remember which one I used. I assumed it had been fixed because there was no confirmation it worked, but we were caught up in the map to even check that.
- Earlier today (before the terrain texture started being faulty) I took screenshots of the map ready for release. I could see the texture just fine.
- I later approached Ressy asking if she could test out the map because I have 3 sand textures in my textures folder that look similar but couldn't figure out which ones I used (lightbeachsand.jpg, darkYellowSand.jpg, and softSand.jpg). At this point I can still see the sand, but she had the same issue AlphaEclipse had and couldn't see any texure where the sand was meant to be.
- I joined her in the map, then suddenly I started having the same issue. Something that never happened in the 2 years I've had the map. The sand wouldn't show in Gawana Island, but it would show in Gawana cave. I logged off then joined back later and the sand wouldn't show in Gawana Cave either.
This doesn't seem to be a Rendering System issue, and the only thing I've done to the files are send them to people. I also can't go in and edit the terrain texture in the map maker either because I lost the files for that as they were lost when my previous PC broke down.
If anyone has had this issue before and knows how to fix it, that would be amazing.
