Spring RTS Engine

Yep, I came to the same conclusion myself. Unfortunately, even with an image that large, when you get 5 feet from the ground, w/o the detailtex, 9/10 it looks pretty fugly.

I had a weird problem with this map - it always played fine, but there was no texture on it whatsoever - just a red block colour across the whole thing. Never had this issue with any other map. I'll try re-downloading to see if it fixes the missing texture thing

edit: last post a year ago - sorry for the necro

Did re-dl fix it?
I never had issues with this map.

yap still borked. Attached some screenshots. Really weird. It did this on my old computer too, which makes it doubly weird. I downloaded it from jobjol

smf is either missing or incorrectly named.

Maybe it wasn't unpacked correctly? I'll try downloading it from SD. Hm there was a file called

maincategory=1&subcategory=2&file=Kappa_Basin.sd7

in the same folder - I'll delete and try again hurf

That red texture is caused by a renaming of the core map files (for instance, if someone tried to make a change to the .smd file and various attributes of the map like metal amount, wind, etc etc, and renamed the files to make it a "new version", it will come out red. The only way to rename map files is to recompile them completely with a new name.

Well, you can rename the smd and smf, but not the smt, which will change the map name without a recompile. (or it might be the smf, i'm not going to check :p)

Well if you can only change the name by compiling them, then there's a dud Kappa Basin out there somewhere. I re-downloaded from SD and the texture now shows itself. The one from jobjol didn't work, but I am assuming it was the weird duplicate copy that had the issue, and not the JJ one.
