Mapconv doesn't like trees too near the edge of the map. Not sure what the limit is but 8pix should be far enough.

I think you also need to check for adjoining green pixels, IE don`t have two or more green pixels right next to each other.

Geo rendering is extremely iffy in spring. Just try putting the pixels in diffrent spots until somthing works out. The rest I have no idea about. :?

As for skybox suggestions, I can't really suggest anything without playing the map, screenshots arent enough.

If you wnat them to work properly it helps to make the map wit ha small height differemce (IE -10 to 10) and then expand it to the height you want with Smefed (or whatever that prog is called), as this stops the !The land aint flat enough! thing getting in the way.

Your feature map is 1/8th the size of texturemap right? Not 1/8th + 1 but just 1/8th? I'm just checking to make sure that isn't your problem.

1/8 in Size yes, no pixel more, no less. And Smoths houses are in there designated place... Lathan promised to redo them if he arrives in Texas. I will do some Skyboxing during the delay... :wink:

fixed the barb wire... just replace the TDF's the TGA's and the S3O's...

ALL the names in the features.ts, the featuremap, the models, and the graphics should work without re-compiling... :wink:
