Good day! I was following the following PMC tutorial (HERE) (fantastic stuff @PMC!) Down the line in the tutorial it get`s to the point of generating the texture layers (.PAA files) out of the textures I set in the layers.cfg,but sadly everytime I try to use the ''Generate Layers'' option at ''Mapframes> Processing> Generate Layers'' it does not seem to do anything except create a empty ''Layers ''folder in my ''ICY''\tut_tutorial_terrain\data'' folder. My Layers.cfg file: (As you can see it references to a file inside of the PBO ''Map_data'' inside of my a3 folder. I tried putting the seperate file in my data folder and linking via the layers.cfg too, sadly this didnt result into anything. I double checked if the location of ''material = "ICY\tut_tutorial_terrain\data\gdt_grass_green.rvmat";'' is proper, and i`m 100% sure it is. However, i`m not sure if this program can acces the texture listed in ''texture = "a3\map_data\gdt_grass_green_co.paa";'' Extra info: When it comes to any other files, I literally followed the tutorial step by step and except for my own tag it`s all identical! Thank you in advance for replying!

I have been having this error pop up upon trying to generate layers for a terrain that I am building for the entirety of the day and I've had no clue why or how it is happening, help or a push in the right direction would be much appreciated. the Layers.cfg file class Layers { { class SirB_Rangmore_forest_pine { texture="" material="SirB\Rangmore\data\SirB_Rangmore_forest_pine.rvmat"; }; class SirB_Rangmore_snow { texture="" material="SirB\Rangmore\data\SirB_Rangmore_snow.rvmat"; }; class SirB_Rangmore_rock { texture="" material="SirB\Rangmore\data\SirB_Rangmore_rock.rvmat" }; class SirB_Rangmore_stony { texture="" material="SirB\Rangmore\data\SirB_Rangmore_stony.rvmat" }; class SirB_Rangmore_beach { texture="" material="SirB\Rangmore\data\SirB_Rangmore_beach.rvmat" }; class SirB_Rangmore_desert { texture="" material="SirB\Rangmore\data\SirB_Rangmore_desert.rvmat" }; class SirB_Rangmore_wild_grass { texture="" material="SirB\Rangmore\data\SirB_Rangmore_wild_grass.rvmat" }; class SirB_Rangmore_wildfield { texture="" material="SirB\Rangmore\data\SirB_Rangmore_wildfield.rvmat" }; class SirB_Rangmore_marsh { texture="" material="SirB\Rangmore\data\SirB_Rangmore_marsh.rvmat" }; class SirB_Rangmore_strseabed { texture="SirB\Rangmore\data\SirB_Rangmore_strseabed.rvmat" }; }; class Legend { { picture="SirB\Rangmore\source\mapLegend.png" class Colors { SirB_Rangmore_forest_pine[]={{170,190,80}}; SirB_Rangmore_snow[]={{255,255,255}}; SirB_Rangmore_stony[]={{120,120,120}}: SirB_Rangmore_rock[]={{80,80,80}}; SirB_Rangmore_beach[]={{175,160,130}}; SirB_Rangmore_desert[]={{255,190,0}}; SirB_Rangmore_wild_grass[]={{140,195,80}}; SirB_Rangmore_wildfield[]={{170,180,70}}; SirB_Rangmore_marsh[]={{158,198,90}}; SirB_Rangmore_strseabed[]={{230,230,120}}; }; }; and just in case it was an issue with an .rvmat file here is an .rvmat file ambient[]={1.5,1.5,1.5,1}; diffuse[]={0.5,0.5,0.5,1}; forcedDiffuse[]={0,0,0,0}; emmisive[]={0,0,0,0}; specular[]={0,0,0,0}; specularPower=1; PixelShaderID="NormalMapDiffuse"; VertexShaderID="NormalMapDiffuseAlpha"; class Stage1 { texture="SirB\data\SirB_Rangmore_beach_nopx.paa"; uvSource="tex"; class uvTransform { aside[]={10,0,0}; up[]={0,10,0}; dir[]={0,0,10}; pos[]={0,0,0}; }; }; class Stage2 { texture="SirB\data\SirB_Rangmore_beach_co.paa"; uvSource="tex"; class uvTransform { aside[]={10,0,0}; up[]={0,10,0}; dir[]={0,0,10}; pos[]={0,0,0}; }; }; what I have tried already got rid of duplicate references inside the cfg file retype the Layers.cfg file by hand take another Layers.cfg file renamed everthing made a Layers.cfg file with only four textures retype Layers.cfg file again restart the project At the moment the only other thing I can think of is that the mask_Ico is a .bmp and has slightly different RGB codes (like 1-2 in any of the R,G or B) for some pixel than what is there for the colors class, but I think that would generate a different error code and using the magic wand w/ the fill tool would be a nightmare. So once again, help me out please.
