jimbop 25 Posted September 28, 2015 hi chaps, dabbled before in terrain building but got frustrated and abandoned it. however, the lure is too great so gonna make it work now! :) an answer to these questions would be a great help........ 1. easiest way to get a mask...from a sat image? cant import this to L3DT as its too large. 2. what enhancement does the sat normal map do? 3. rivers and ponds...these are a must IMO. will these only be functional after the release of tanoa?..engine upgrade? edit... 4. and fields..rice paddys. how do I put them in map? thanx, jim.

jimbop 25 Posted September 29, 2015 well thanx for the help to above :unsure: let me try another.... sat image in bulldozer looks fine, but ingame is very bright, white almost. the sat textures are there so would this be a rvmap thing? I cant believe how many hurdles I come up against trying to do a poxy terrain! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cype_Revenge 651 Posted September 30, 2015 no the satimage you can see from distance, i mean your surfaces from close in the game ,the surfaces what you have defined on your layers.cfg post a ingame picture from a soldier on the ground Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cype_Revenge 651 Posted September 30, 2015 surface and clutter works, your Satimage is too bright Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrfarmerman 10 Posted September 30, 2015 easiest way i found to make a mask image that is accurate is to use the attributes map from l3dt and import it to somthing like gimp, use the colour picker and haey presto, it even generates a mask palette!!!!

jimbop 25 Posted September 30, 2015 19th, whats causing my sat image to be so bright? its ok in bulldozer. mrfarmerman, yep, that's what I done in the end. :) thanx both for your help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cype_Revenge 651 Posted September 30, 2015 I see you have a real satimage,the image what you have downloaded is too bright, download a different image from another source.... or you need to modify it on Gimp o Photoshop (lot of work). what software do you use to download the image? If you use the attributes map from L3dt, make sure that you have only your defined colors on this image.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
