Title: Several MAP questions
Post by: Emerelda on September 12, 2011, 09:45:19 pm
I'm having problems with my height map it won't load, i think it's probably a bit to complicated. and then there's the issue of my yellow crystal (custom object edited from the fluorite crystal) that appears in the testing mode but not in game, i've already exported it. And the last question, i've seen several custom objects you know like a house, or the curly hill from nightmare before Christmas. Does anyone have a tutorial on that? thanks in advance.

It won't load? So like, when you type it, nothing happens, or the game crashes?
Did you put it in a pre-made group? Like MyRocks, Default, MyTrees, etc? Or your own group?
Custom objects. Everyone thinks they are easy, but aren't actually. You need mesh making programs, and I recommend Blender. It may be somewhat hard to find, but I think you can find it on ogreblender.org (or something like that. xD)

it crashes, and i  put it in Default, i know they can't be easy but i like a challenge every once in a while you know, plus it may be a helpful skill down the road XD

Okay about the heightmap;
Requirements:
513x513
Grayscale
Is now, and was always one layer

Things to try:
Switch the format to something else, then back.
Copy the image, close out the image so the image program is blank, and paste it in, then flatten it, and save it.
Switch it from Grayscale to RGB. then back to Grayscale.

You must put your crystal in it's own group, not in default or any other pre-made ones.
