I would very confounded if the currently released version of mapconv was causing the errors, all it does is make a buffer with the commands and uses system().

I'm reviving an old thread, YES, its because I am having a similiar issue with my map...

but its strange...

sometimes I load the map (no matter what version, or which I compile it as), and its pink, sometimes I load it, and its not...

its VERY strange...

and depending on the compression ratio on mapconv it does it more/less often...

and somtimes it can't even find the .smf file...

its VERY mind boggling... and I can't figure it out....

mapconv commandline code:

mapconv -i -c 2.8 -x 1350 -n 100 -o Severnaya_Industrial_v94.smf -t texture.bmp -m metal.bmp -a height.bmp -f feature.bmp -l

it's because you changed the name of the smt file after compiling lathan. You CANNOT change the name of the smt, period. You can however change the smf and smd to whatever you like as long as the filenames for the 2 match exactly. Whatever the smf filename is, that's what spring will see.

I did not change the name, I learned that allready.

I'm tired of compiling this pain in the ass...

I'm damn tired of it,

Try getting new copy of nvdxt.exe that has worked for some and also check the there are no spaces in the path.

Your map is very tall, which suggests that it may be very large. This may also cause problems with compiling and loading. Would you tell us the sizes?

if you see the salmon color over the entire map it means the engine can't find the tiles. I had this happen to me once and the tile file wasn't named properly and referenced properly.

Fixing the reference fixed the map, remember, the file with the tiles is referenced in the binary file of the map, so changing the SMD won't work.

This is the problem, no question.
