Spring RTS Engine

my texture map is 4096x4096
my heightmap is 513x513
my metalmap is 256x256

i compiled the files into smf and smt with MapconvGUI
MapconGUI can save the smd file
i put all the files in mymap\maps\
my files are mymap.smd mymap.smf mymap.smt
i compressed them all with 7zip using the settings provided here http://springrts.com/wiki/Maps:Compiling

i get an error when i run the game with a bot in it.


in spring, the map is very small and the information is messed up.
i think the smt file is all wrong because it's way smaller than other map smt files.
how do i play my map?

Sounds like you are missing one file from your folder. You need a .SMD file, it's a text file, just unzip any other map, copy the .SMD from it, rename it to mymap.smd and put it in your maps folder.

Your metal map should be 513x513 and you need a feature map. Also, be sure to compress only the "maps" folder and name as "mymap.sd7".

I assume that you compress a directory "mymap", and it is necessary to compress a directory "maps".

i needed to put my smd smt smf files in a folder called maps, then compress it and call the compressed folder mymap.sd7

i was so close. oh well, thanks!
