Did you rename any files after compiling the map?

i rename nothing

i compile with this line :

Code: Select all

wine mapconv.exe -i -l -x 208 -n -42 -m metal.png -a height.png -t texture.png -f feature.png -o Canigou.smf -q 100 -z compressor.txt -w special.txt
i put:
  • Canigou.smd
  • Canigou.smf
  • Canigou.smt
in my ~/spring/maps/Canigou.sdd/maps

Try using mothers map compiler first and see if it still gives you the same error.

From these everything looks like it's fine. However compiling with user's can sometimes be very problematic...

edit: with mothers you have to use bmp...

use this please:

http://www.fileuniverse.com/?p=show&a=it&id=2589

for mothers you dont need use so many variables. So use this line for it:

Code: Select all

mapconv.exe -c 0.5 -i -l -x 208 -n -42 -m metal.png -a height.png -t texture.png -f feature.png -o Canigou.smf
Now I noticed that you havent set compression value '-c'... Im not sure if that is the problem...

Is it odd that I knew all along that's what it was.

BTW make sure that -c is always 0.

Smf map compression is utterly useless.

Edit: Let me reiteratie as I have in the past that when you get taht pink stuff all over the ground is is always because of 1 thing. The smt/smf files can't be found (could be because of renaming/ moving to different directories).

That is the ONLY reason for that pink texture. If you get that pink texture, this is the problem. In short, ur doin it wrong.

http://spring.clan-sy.com/phpbb/viewtop ... =13&t=3941 Might try reading the sticky in the map forum next time, you would not have had this problem if you had.

Edit2: Don't mean to sound like such and insufferable prick, but I have been yelling at people about this for over 3 years and it never seems to sink in.
