Did you match the pixels to the units in visitor?. Both 128 x 128 I mean...

Using a 128x128 pixel heightmap with a 256x256 'visitor unit' map will result in a different terrain resolution which will mess things up...

How about when you started a new project in visitor?. You get the choice of which 'Dimension settings' you pick(256 x 256 is default) If you did'nt put in 128 x 128 there it will fugg up the terrain detail settings. Visitor needs one terrain height point (pixel) for every visitor unit(dimension setting). Do they match?...

You have to choose 128 x128 pixels in photoshop instead of 256 x 256, is this what you mean by pixels, or the 'units' in visitor?...

the units in vistor no nothing was wrong with the textures its the roads and trees and well all the objects i put them in vistor look on the 3d view and its all fine everythings in place but when i pbo it and play it on flashpoint all the objects move 2 a different place and alot of them go into the water. the 128X128 is the size of the map

2.

ur j/k rite i have 2 make my island again, i converted that tutisland and imported it but it wiped over my island. and i have no clue wut u mean on how 2 make a height map.

i 4got 2 say 2 u that the first time i tryed makin a island using vistor it worked fine, i think it's since i did the Z: drive thing that fixed all the problems with textures and things but then this started happening
