[wired]

ok i made a feature map with blue and green for grass and trees and 4 vent ares.
but when i compile it it crashes after the 3rd out of 4 geovents ??

should i put my grass on one bmp and trees and geo on another ??.

if so how canuse i tryed and it wont start a compile if i point to two flaged bmps =/

no... need to use only 1... but I think you need to make sure the pixel you put for the geos can't also be grass pixels(aka pixel can be green and blue to have trees and grass, but has to be R=0, G=255, B=0 for geos)... post your exact error (run it in a command line [aka cmd] so you can campture it and post what happens last... I haven't seen mother around recently... but I'm sure if he shows up(or others who have used his mapconv successfully) the specific error would help...

ok i got it to comply.

and says it placed the geos and grass i think anyways.
but i dont see grass or geos in game ??

check your settings.exe settings... you might have them turned off... I did forever... you also need to zoom in close to acctually see the stuff...

ohh ok ty.
and geos ?? need to get them to show up

[SinbadEV]

nah... I'm not sure what's going wrong with geos... they should show up no matter what I think... you need to acctually start a game for them to appear however... they only show up as smoke effects...

edit:
they do need to be on a flat surface to show up... might want to check that...

and the grass ?/ i check the settings and i dont see grass on any map or shadows =/. it says i need a open gl extension for shadows =/
where do i get that ?/

You'll need to get the latest driver version for whatever 3D card you have.
