Mask layers keep merging?

[Blue_Apples]

When I try to make a mask the different terrains keep merging. I'll put down grass for a hill then rock for a river and the rock mask covers up the grass and the rest of the map. What is happening?

If you put a screenshot i can get a better idea of your problem, but i believe you are using the colors in the wrong way.

The mask should have only 3 colors, red, green and blue (the 3 primary additive colors), each color is a terrain texture. Don't use yellow, orange, or any other non primary color or your terrain texture will glow.

just like this:

I do use only red green and blue. And I can't take a screen shot because for some reason FeralHeart is not working for me. I'll just explain it as best I can.
The texture for the red, let's say DeepGreengrass, is placed down first. It covers the whole map including the places where the green and blue lay, which is not what I want.
Then the texture for the green, let's say ceiling, is placed and it too covers the whole map. Same goes for the blue texture. I have no idea where I went wrong.

If you did not altered anything manually in .cfg and .material files, then can be a render system problem or even a graphics card problem or driver problem.

Try to upgrade your graphics card driver if you know how to do it.

Try to change the rendering system:
To change it open the file Ogre.cfg who is located at C:\FeralHeart. (open it with notepad or any other text editor)
In the first line you will see:
Render System=
Depending on what you have, switch between these 2 lines:
Render System=Direct3D9 Rendering Subsystem
Render System=OpenGL Rendering Subsystem

save the file and check if all is working now.

I switched the render system like you said but that didn't help. Could you tell me how to Upgrade my grapics card, maybe that will help.

Well, if you are not familiar using the computer pdating drivers can be very hard.
Here is a tutorial, but it is prefered if someone who knows well about computer do this.

but before this, try to use my mask i have post above or try reinstalling the game.
i don't have any other good idea.

Thanks for your help, if this doesn't work then I'll have to deal with the fact that I won't be making maps anymore.

Another thing i can do if you want, i can take control of your computer with a program, and to check myself the problem, and try to solve it.
Meet me in-game when im online and i can do it.

do you have other layers on? Once I forgot to remove the extra layer containing the heightmap and the terrain textures did something funny.
