More silly questions for my map

[mugaben 10]

Gah.. Going crazy over this.. :confused:

I hope you can help me!

First question.

Why do I have to zoom this far in, to see first roads, then forests, and finally buildings?

[mugaben 10]

Something in the config? I have close to NO experience in this.

Secondly, why does this happen to some of my roads in game, but not in bulldozer?

Thanks in advance! :)

Hi again DampetDK...

First one is something to do with the "Grid" parameters in the main config - I think...

Where did you get the original config file you're using? The Chernarus one has an entry like this...

class Grid: Grid
 {
  offsetX = 0;
  offsetY = 0;
  class Zoom1
  {
   zoomMax = 0.15;
   format = "XY";
   formatX = "000";
   formatY = "000";
   stepX = 100;
   stepY = 100;
  };
  class Zoom2
  {
   zoomMax = 0.85;
   format = "XY";
   formatX = "00";
   formatY = "00";
   stepX = 1000;
   stepY = 1000;
  };
  class Zoom3
  {
   zoomMax = 1e+030;
   format = "XY";
   formatX = "0";
   formatY = "0";
   stepX = 10000;
   stepY = 10000;
  };
 };

Do you have something like this in your config? if not - try pasting that block in - as it stands... see if it makes a difference...

I've seen the second issue happen - in buldozer - a few times when I've been fooling with terrain height-tweaking - you tweak one vertice, but occasionally the road section seems to prefer to take its height from the surrounding vertices - so the one you've tweaked sortof "clips into" the road... resmoothing in Visitor should fix that I guess...

[Robster 11]

I see a space in that line ...

pictureShot = "MUG\favslev\data\ui_selectisland_favslev_ca.p aa";

It says : .p aa

Must say: .paa

(I am newbie too... My beta version island is ready but I can not binarize it... I presume it's an issue with config.cpp ...

Cheers!

Besides, I do not have in my config.cpp file this code inside "class Utes : CAWorld" cause I am not sure which function it enables... anyway you may give it a try...

class Grid: Grid

{

offsetX = 0;

offsetY = 0;

class Zoom1

{

zoomMax = 0.15;

format = "XY";

formatX = "000";

formatY = "000";

stepX = 100;

stepY = 100;

};

class Zoom2

{

zoomMax = 0.85;

format = "XY";

formatX = "00";

formatY = "00";

stepX = 1000;

stepY = 1000;

};

class Zoom3

{

zoomMax = 1e+030;

format = "XY";

formatX = "0";

formatY = "0";

stepX = 10000;

stepY = 10000;

};

[mugaben 10]

Robster I have that class Utes : CAWorld aswell. The space in paa is a problem with copy-paste to the forums - its not there in my config. :o

[oldbear 390]

For the road issue, I believe the best solution is the "redo" ^^.

Hard way : erase the road and build it again,

Medium way : export the road, erase the road from the map then imported it back after having laid a KeyPart of such road model on Visitor.

Edited October 9, 2010 by Old Bear

[mugaben 10]

Thank you oldbear. Redoing helped. :)

Also, I found the error causing the map zoom thing.

It was my own mistake, texture size was on 10, not 40. Dont know if this also was the cause of the road-bug, but now its done!

I'm MugAben on dead echo by the way. :)

[oldbear 390]

[Offtopic On] I have recognize your big ape features under your mask ^^ [Offtopic Off]

The "redo" action is something you must be prepared to when you deal with Visitor3, so you must be ready to save, save and save again each time you have done a big step in map making, save previous versions on various archives ...

[mugaben 10]

Ballking, the error for me was that my texture size option in Visitor3 was "10", not "40".. I tried 10 once to see the difference, even though I read that 40 was the preferred. I forgot to put it back to 40. :>

[bushlurker 46]

Texture size = 10 is associated with several issues... distant hills not displaying properly, etc... not sure about road hiccups, but it wouldn't surprise me...

Not entirely sure why it doesn't work - like a lot of things in Visitor, trial and error has proved that certain combos work well, and others have issues... Texture size = 40 is just one of those "generally accepted as least problematic" settings...

Congrats on gettin it working anyway Dampet - the texture=10 thing never even occurred to me as a potential cause...
