Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha,,,, aaaaaaahhhhhhhh my side hurts, must stop laughing :lol:

On a more serious note,, Forboding why is l3dt rendering just that 1/3 of the texture? I never saw it run that way whenever I use it.

if you do it correctly you can use l3dt's light map for shading. When you do, you MUST use mosaic tiling when you do the texture, even though you can export as a solid image. I believe that l3dt loads the lightmap and the texture into memory, so if you try to export it will crash if you don't use mosaic tiling.

It actually only took like 10 minutes. I believe I found an easter egg :-)

Ok thanks, now for another question,, do you use grout or photoshop, I can`t seem to get grout to work for a large map say 32x32, it loads up the file and all the info is being displayed in the gui but it just outputs an almost zero byte, black image.

Assuming you are using l3dt 2.3d grout is not necessary. Just process the texture using mosaic tiles, then hit file export, uncheck the mosiac tile option and set it to bmp (or jpg if you're not too too woried about the quality). Enter a filename and save.

That's only because you are exporting as a BMP, try PNG and it won't crash. It's a bug. ;)
