demomap textures show incorrectly and won't save

Post by Soujirotendo »

Here is my first question. I'm having some technical problems here with textures. Why is the demomap that was part of the install showing incorrect texture? I have supplied a screenshot.

EDIT: EEK! O_O The screenshot didn't show up right. Let me resubmit one later, please? At the moment I have to head to work.

The hills are all messed up on the texture.

I actually wanted to mention this to the dev's but I never got around to it...

Anyway, the messed up textures, or lack of correct textures can be fixed by hitting F3 in edit mode and doing a quick light. That straightens everything out. However, don't forget to save the map or else you'll have to re-quick light ;)

Have a good one,

Thanks and I plan on editing it. I find that it's size, style, and layout are perfect for a starting point in my game making adventures. Someone else edited the village map so I figured that is what it's there for unless if the developers have a problem with people editing the maps that come with Sandbox. :lol:

Hey thanks, I will give that a try. I thought I saved it last time.

Thanks for letting me know but it is kind of important to me. Plus if this happened to this map what if it happens to ones I create? Still thanks for the info.

To all who replied thank you with some helpful information. Thanks for the help. :)

This won't happen if you don't use lights, and if you do and re-quick lights, there won't be any problem at all
